Aroma and Malodor Contract Services Overview
A wide variety
of aroma/odor problems have been successfully addressed during the past
decade; ranging from off-aromas / off-flavors in foods and beverages to
malodors in consumer products, packaging and human environments (i.e.
residential, commercial and agricultural downwind).
The integrated
AromaTrax® GC-Olfactory systems that have been developed over time to address
these issues have evolved out of our requirement for maximum efficiency
and minimum response time to these, often crisis-driven, problems. This
section attempts, by way of application example, to demonstrate how the
integrated AromaTrax® system is used to maximize efficiency of these
investigations. Illustrated applications include:
-
odorant cross-contamination between packaging and product.
-
critical aroma volatiles loss through scalping by packaging wall
surfaces.
-
oxidation based product aroma quality degradation of packaged
products.
-
residual odorous volatiles in food and beverage packaging.
-
exploration of links between flavor and aroma critical volatiles.
-
agricultural environmental odorant prioritization and sampling.
-
Indoor environment (residential and commercial) odorant
prioritization and sampling.
