FLAVOURS LABORATORY

Chelab Flavours Laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technological equipment, in order to perform specific analysis on flavouring substances using gas chromatography, mass spectrometry (GC/MS), chiral gas chromatography, liquid chromatography (HPLC), dynamic olfactometry.
Usually, the analytical protocols followed for extraction and instrumental analysis are specifically developed by the laboratory according to the product and to the flavouring substances to be analysed.
The application field include food products (raw materials, semi manufactured products, beverages, foodstuffs, flavours and aromatic preparation and so on), non-food products (for example fragrances, cosmetics, hygiene products, and so on.) and packaging.
The offered analytical services are precious also for the solution of complex problems, such as organoleptic defects, shelf-life and stability studies, research studies applied to the development of new products, personalization of flavourings destined to specific application fields, improvement of physical structure and flavour characteristics of foodstuffs.
Regarding the measurement of smell concentration in gas mixture (emission) the flavours laboratory is also equipped with an olfactometer Echoma TO7,that allows to perform olfactometric evaluation by dynamic olfactometry, according to EN 13725:2003.

The Flavours laboratory performs also quali-quantitative controls expected by official Pharmacopoeias and of the titration of active principles in officinal plants, officinal plant extract, and derivative products (for example: herbal products, dietetic products) through official methods (for example derived by Official Pharmacopoeias) and/or internal methods developed ad hoc.
