Quality Control in Fragrances and Flavors
Fragrances and flavors industries need to ensure the quality of their products or raw materials due to their high-price. Some techniques such as GC, GC-MS, HPLC or IR-technology can determine exactly the composition of the products, but these techniques have to be done by skilled operators, and of course, that also implies lot of time waste. In addition, density, refractive index and color can be measured to compare if these parameters fit within reference limits.
Automated Processes with a Multiparametric System
Due to the simplicity of density, refractive index and color measurements, these analytical techniques are used for fast and accurate quality control. More complex techniques are only performed if a deviation occurs.
Furthermore, by using a multiparametric system, you will speed up all your measurements; it will not be necessary to spend time preparing samples and cleaning each instrument. You will be able to measure density, refractive index and color in one run!
In summary, our application note shows an automated multiparameter application that demonstrates high repeatability, timesaving methods and accuracy, which can be achieved even when a variety of different samples are measured.
Benefits of Multiparameter Analysis Compared to Individual Measurements
This video shows first the flow of samples through the lab, when multiple measurements are done at various instruments, in this example with a balance, a pH meter, a UV Vis spectrophotometer, a density meter, a refractometer and a titrator. It is then followed by a description of a muliparametric setup of these instruments, showing the benefits of such an automated system.
