Your Industry –
Our Expertise

  • Food

    The quality of a food is decisively influenced by its sensory properties. This increases the incentive for the food industry to develop products that impress both in terms of flavor and nutritional value. aromaLAB is your first choice for all questions in the field of aroma research and analysis. This includes, for example, qualitative and quantitative analysis of various aroma compounds, the influence of raw materials, manufacturing processes, and packaging on the final product, storage studies, the investigation of off-flavors, and much more. Contact us and benefit from our extensive and long-standing experience to ensure the quality and competitiveness of your products!

  • Tobacco

    The properties of tobacco products are also significantly influenced by a broad spectrum of odor-active compounds. In addition to the "classic" tobacco products such as cigarettes, fine-cut tobacco, and chewing tobacco, a variety of innovations and substitute products are available today. Among the most popular innovations are electronic devices in which the tobacco is merely heated but not burned. Instead of tobacco, many smokers use electronic cigarettes filled with e-liquids in a wide variety of flavors. Our equipment enables us to offer a comprehensive range of analytical services for classic and innovative tobacco products, including smoke and aerosols from the corresponding products.

  • Animal Feed

    Pet and farm animal owners around the world today place the same high demands on their pets' nutrition as they do on their own. Pet food manufacturers have responded to this and strive to bring products to market that not only offer optimal nutritional value but are also well accepted due to their sensory qualities. Just as with food, the relevant parameters - e.g., raw material quality, processing, storage, and packaging - must be controlled and optimized with regard to the aroma spectrum of the products. aromaLAB supports you in this process with special sensory and instrumental procedures to ensure the consistent quality of your products.

  • Cosmetics

    Cosmetics, personal care products, and cleaning products must be effective, yet dermatologically and ecologically safe. Fragrances, in particular, are subject to strict regulations regarding approval and labelling due to their allergenic potential. With the help of our laboratory and consulting services, you can be sure that your products meet the relevant regulatory criteria and the desired quality standards. Have we piqued your interest? Please contact us.

  • Consumer Goods

    Consumer goods encompass a wide range of items intended to come into contact with food, cosmetics, and humans in any way (not just temporarily). In the aroma sector, packaging for food and cosmetics, disposable tableware, cleaning and dishwashing detergents, waterproofing sprays, room fragrances, and essential oils for fragrance lamps are of particular interest.

    Common methods of aroma analysis can be applied to many consumer goods, as well as to food or tobacco. aromaLAB also supports you in this area with product optimization, quality control, and troubleshooting.

Areas of Application

  • Off-Flavors

    Off-flavors are rarely harmful to health unless caused by severe microbial contamination. However, they typically lead to customer rejection or complaints and can cause not only enormous economic losses for the producers but also damage the company's reputation.

  • Shelf-life Studies

    Shelf-life studies are particularly important with regard to the aroma spectrum of a food, as this can change significantly over time and depending on storage conditions such as temperature, humidity, exposure to light, or packaging. Desired aroma compounds can be degraded by chemical processes, while undesirable aroma compounds or even off-flavors can develop.

  • Product Development/-Optimization

    During product development and optimization, it is also important to monitor the aroma spectrum of the raw materials and any potential changes during the manufacturing process in order to achieve the desired result in the final product. The decisive factors for the aroma of a processed product are the raw materials and any flavors used, which should be of consistent quality and composition.

  • Process Control

    Before a processed food reaches the consumer, it typically undergoes a long process, from processing the raw materials to packaging and storage. Depending on the product, additional processing steps may follow, such as preservation or preparation by the consumer.
