CENTA has the latest technology for the determination of food flavours and to evaluate and determine doses of food additives.


Services

• Solvent-free extraction and enrichment of flavours by SBSE (Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction - Twister Method).
  

• Solvent-free extraction and enrichment of flavours by SPME (Solid-Phase Micro-Extraction).

• Dynamic and Static Headspace Method.

• Identification of volatile flavour compounds by capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry detection (GC/MS and GC/MS/MS).

• Determination of trace flavours by sniffing port analysis: Detection of separated compounds by trained operators, one-by-one emission and characterization.

• Identification and quantification of non volatile flavour compounds by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (HPLC/ MS and UPLC/MS/MS).

• Flavour Profile Evaluation by sensory evaluation experts.

Applications

• Determination of flavours and off-flavours in raw materials and end products of comestibles (Maillard substances, ageing flavours, rancidity, boar taint, …)

• Generation of flavours during the manufacturing process depending on process parameters or ingredients.

•  Evaluation and dose determination of new flavouring additives depending on food matrix and technological process.

•  Flavour shelf life depending on different food packaging materials and
