From Aroma to Insights – Identifying Key Sensory-Active Compounds
In this engaging Webinar, Nicole Kfoury (Application Scientist, GERSTEL Inc., USA) demonstrates how Sensory Directed Analysis (SDA) reveals the key compounds behind complex aromas – using real-world examples from bourbon and perfume.
In addition, the webinar will showcase two powerful techniques that can be seamlessly integrated with GERSTEL ODP 4 and Olfactory Data Interpreter (ODI) software:
- Aroma Dilution Analysis (ADA)
- Frequency Detection (e.g. Nasal Impact Frequency; NIF)
You’ll learn how to identify the most impactful odor-active compounds by combining mass spectrometry and the human nose – even when compounds are below the detection limits of analytical instruments.
The webinar also covers advanced techniques like:
- Multi-Desorption Mode
- Sniff & Trap Function
- Selectable 1D/2D-GC
Whether you’re working with spirits, fragrances, or any aroma-rich product, this webinar offers practical tools to elevate your sensory analysis strategy.
