Reading Scientific Services (RSSL) will launch a new suite of flavour services in April, which include sophisticated flavour analysis.
ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥ services can identify and quantify key flavour compounds, and match analytical with sensory data for effective optimisation of ingredients and process.
RSSL’s new offering can profile a product’s volatile compounds, identify the key aroma compounds and provide insight into flavour release over time.
Thoroughly understanding aspects of a product’s flavour is the key to improving and optimising its formulation.
By identifying components that characterise a product’s distinctive flavour, RSSL will assist manufacturers in selecting ingredients and processes to produce the desired outcome in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
Understanding which components are producing a flavour is also a safeguard in case a change of formulation is required.
Alternative ingredients producing a similar effect can more easily be identified. It is crucial to understand flavour change over time for optimisation and claims substantiation.
