Project introduction:
A French company develops, manufactures and sells a new type of sensory analysis solution, which has been patented for many developments such as measuring odor and liquid, quantifying odor intensity, and processing data. It is an advanced analyzer for odor, taste and vision industry.
The gas chromatography electronic nose product independently developed by this enterprise is used to analyze odor and chemical molecules that make up odor, and provides odor analysis module. Through the fast gas chromatography technology with built-in preconcentration trap and the chromatographic data processing software of multivariate statistics, the detection threshold of odor molecules is very low, the chemical molecules involved are identified and the odor compounds are quantified. Compared with human perception of s mell, electronic nose can analyze 200+ samples every day, and ensure stable, reliable and objective results.
The odor analysis module is designed to help identify and characterize the chemical molecules detected when using its electronic nose or instruments based on gas chromatography technology to analyze odors. The sensory characteristics of samples can be further evaluated through sensory attribute information related to compounds and human detection thresholds. At the same time, it is also a compound database containing relevant sensory annotations, which provides search function for odor analysis and can further enrich the measurement data of users. Data processing is carried out by self-developed Alpha software system.
Because the sample preparation is simple and the odor measurement is highly reliable, the electronic nose products of this enterprise can replace the senses to conduct some routine tests that may cause safety problems related to compounds existing in plastics (such as alcohol, solvents or volatile compounds).
In addition, the company also developed electronic tongue for taste analysis and electronic eye products for visual analysis of color and shape.
Advantages of the project:
Using electronic nose equipment can bring the following benefits:
1. When conducting food testing within the company, make sensory evaluation more reliable;
2. Improve the sensory quality of products and ensure the consistency of products;
3. Standardize the aromatic quality of products in production sites all over the world;
4. Control the sensory characteristics of products;
5. Investigate customer claims related to odor to reduce financial losses;
6. Accelerate the release test of mass production.
Cooperation mode:
Cooperate in the form of technical service agreement, conduct odor tests for enterprises from different industries, and provide customized solutions according to their needs.
