Food, Flavors and Fragrance

This solution identifies and quantifies different classes of compounds, including difficult compounds as isomers, in a single scan. With no need for chromatographic columns, installation is easy, analysis is fast, and operating costs are minimal.

The analysis is performed by a serial voice instrument, which may be installed in a laboratory, on a production line, or in a vehicle. Results can be automatically exported to other systems, such as production line controllers.

We provide turnkey analysis solutions, or you can create your own analysis suites and protocols, including how results are processed and presented.

Main advantages :

  • Routine detection limits better than 1 picogram per milliliter of headspace.
  • Real-time monitoring of enzymatic, roasting and other flavor modification processes, instant capture of aroma development and defects.
  • Unbiased and repeatable characterization of in vivo aroma release for sensory perception testing.
  • Fast, high sensitivity, static or dynamic headspace analysis of aromatic compounds, yielding significant productivity gains compared to traditional analysis techniques.
  • Analysis without preconcentration, capture or solvent extraction.
  • It does not discriminate compounds based on polarity. No requirement for chromatographic columns, solid phase extraction or SPME fibers.
  • Intuitive software and interface minimize training costs and allow easy instrument setup and analysis, even for non-technical personnel.
  • Automated validation procedures ensure reliable analyses.
  • Support for standard computer network protocols enables remote operation and support, maximizing operational flexibility and minimizing downtime.

Typical measurement compounds:

The primary compounds analyzed are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which include:

  • Monoterpenes
  • Pyrazines
  • Organosulfurs

The application of multiple reagent ions also allows for the separation of many isobarics, such as aldehydes and ketones.

Required equipment:

  • Voice 200 Instrument.
  • High-performance inlet kit for Voice200 Ultra.
  • Heated flow tube kit for Voice200 Ultra.
  • LabSyft Software suite.
