Application Note - Flavor, Aroma and Taint Detection

From Owlstone Nanotech, Inc.
 

 
Maintaining consistent flavor and odor in foods and consumer products ranging from fruit juices to toothpastes is crucial for guaranteeing brand quality. Process deviations and accidental taints can lead to sub-standard flavor or aroma, and deliberate actions such as contamination or counterfeiting can also negatively affect brand perception.

Standard analytical techniques such as GC/MS are expensive, time consuming, not real-time and require trained operators. Using Owlstone's proprietary FAIMS technology, Lonestar overcomes these problems, providing real-time chemical monitoring in a portable, easy-to-use unit capable of rapid, sensitive and selective analysis.

This makes it a valuable analysis tool for applications ranging from inline process and taint monitoring to product authentication and brand protection.
