Fragrances,
Personal & Home Care
Mixtures of scents can not only be found in perfumes (fine fragrances), but also in aftershaves, deodorants and other cosmetic products. Besides, they are present in household products as well, for example in cleaning products, detergents or room scents, in which they contribute to the perception of freshness or influence the purchasing desicion of consumers.
Fragrances - as raw materials, in products or in the field of application - can be analytically detected for the purpose of market analysis, product development or quality control. This assures excellent sensorial product features as well as a good performance of fragrances in the product and, eventually, customers‘ satisfaction.
Odorants in Fine Fragrances, Personal or Home Care products do more than scenting the body. They emphasize personality, have an influence on consumers’ purchasing decision or influence the care or cleaning effect on a psychological level.
No matter if odorants are present as raw materials or in a product, precise analytical methods are needed to ensure constant product quality, to screen the market broadly or selected products specifically. Also, product development needs innovative and close to reality solutions. Finally, regulatory requirements make robust analytical support essential for ensuring product safety. aromaLAB assists you in all the above-mentioned points with several tailor-made instrumental-analytical or sensorial solutions:
- GC-MS for elucidating the profiles of fine fragrances or perfume oils (fragrance matching).
- GC-MS in combination with sensory testing for quality control: ensuring consistency of different raw material batches as well as performing stability tests under different storage conditions.
- GC-MS for aligning with regulatory demands, e.g., analysis of potentially allergenic fragrance substances.
- Headspace-GC-MS (HS-GC-MS) for proving the efficacy and performance of newly developed products and scent technologies (claim support).
- GC-Olfactometry (GC-O) for off-smell analysis: characterization and identification of off-notes in fine fragrances, raw materials and bases as well as root cause analysis.
- Sensory analysis: our sensory panel accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 conducts numerous objective sensory tests and, by that, focuses on consumer perception.
