Flavors & Fragrances
Gas chromatography is commonly used in the analysis of a broad range of volatile compounds across a variety of functional groups to ensure product quality, provide competitive analysis, determine regulatory and environmental compliance, assess product adulteration, screen for possible toxic contaminants, and identify and quantify target allergens.
Known advantages of VUV Spectroscopy
- VUV AnalyzeTM provides a new tool for automating flavor and fragrance analysis
- Rich 3D data set: absorption vs. wavelength vs. retention time
- Spectroscopic deconvolution simplifies chromatographic separation challenges
- Enables chromatographic compression for higher analytical productivity
- Flavors & Fragrance isomers have distinct spectra and can be unambiguously differentiated
- Easy to understand analysis by Beer-Lambert Law (same principle used in UV-Vis spectroscopy)
