FlavourSpec®

The FlavourSpec® comprises the advantages of a fast Gas Chromatograph (GC) and the outstanding sensitivity of an Ion Mobility Spectrometer (IMS) enabling the analysis and identification of volatiles in headspace of liquids and solid samples…more The combination of a GC coupled to an IMS allows a fast and enhanced selectivity of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) detection in the headspace of solid and liquid samples of food and beverages. Within 3 to 7 analysis time the FlavourSpec® provides a 3-dimensional spectrum as characteristic fingerprint (pattern) of the analysed sample. The arrangement further consists of an automatic headspace sample injector, a very easy menu as well as G.A.S.’ in-house data acquisition, -analysis, and visualization software LAV. Hereby an outstanding user friendliness is achieved, making the FlavourSpec® an innovative and trend setting analytical tool allowing its application for several analytical questions of the food & beverage industry like: Control of storage conditions, food freshness, control and optimisation of production processes, flavour evaluation and stability, test and authentication of raw materials and/or products etc.
