SMELL ANALYSIS – HERACLES ELECTRONIC NOSE – ALPHA MOS
Model: HERACLES – Smell analysis
Manufacturer: Alpha Mos
Origin: France
Benefits of Using HERACLES Neo:
- Ensure accurate sensory evaluation in food testing.
- Improve sensory quality and ensure consistency in production.
- Standardize the smell quality of products globally.
- Control the smell characteristics of products.
- Minimize financial losses by analyzing complaints related to odors.
- Detect and improve responses to smell defects early.
- Shorten testing time during production processes.
Superior Technical Performance of HERACLES Neo:
- Smell fingerprint evaluation: The data processing software combines gas chromatography with multivariate statistics to provide a comprehensive smell assessment, similar to how sensory panels perceive.
- Identification and analysis of chemical compounds: Gas chromatography technology analyzes the chemical molecules that create odors and quantifies these odor compounds.
- Objective measurement: HERACLES Neo ensures accurate, repeatable, and objective results compared to human perception.
- High stability: Ensures consistent sensory quality over a long time without changes.
- High sensitivity: Gas chromatography technology detects odor compounds and VOCs at extremely low detection thresholds.
- Fast and efficient: Can analyze up to 200 samples per day with high reliability.
Additionally, ALPHA MOS Offers AroChemBase Software:
This software integrates with HERACLES or gas chromatography-based instruments to:
- Identify and characterize the chemical molecules detected during smell analysis.
- Provide a list of chemical compounds based on the Kovats index, sorted by relevance.
- Offer information on sensory attributes and human detection thresholds.
AroChemBase Database Includes:
- 188,000 chemical compounds with names, chemical formulas, CAS numbers, and retention indices.
- 4,000 molecules characterized by 600 sensory attributes.
- 1,820 molecules with human odor detection thresholds.
