Alpha MOS

The French Alpha MOS is the global market leader in innovative solutions for sensory analysis of odour, taste and image.

Consumers are very critical when it comes to the taste, smell and visual aspects of food, but also of medicines, for example. Producers and suppliers in the food industry, packaging industry, cosmetics industry and pharmacy respond to this as well as possible by striving to match their products as closely as possible to the taste preferences of the consumer.

They work with taste panels as sensory analysis that randomly test products for smell, taste and visual appeal.

However, there are limitations to panel surveys:

• Hundreds of subjects are needed for a representative sample
• a human being can test a limited amount; over time, noise in the data develops, even in the case of sensory-trained persons
• it is not possible to compare survey data over time

Products

• Sensory instruments in the form of the E-nosed, E-tongue and E-eye. These are able to measure different odour, taste and visual aspects on the basis of different analysis techniques. Data from these analyses are linked to the data from examination of taste panels and advanced software calculates the correlation between these data.
• Odour evaluation services:
  Off-Flavor/ Off-Odor identification and quantification (e.g. smell of plastic in food)
  possible interactions between packaging and contents; migration of volatile plastic components
  Quality control of flavouring in comparison with accepted standards
  Control of Flavor Dilution Reate
  Odor Compliance of raw materials from a new supplier
  Aroma Profiling for product development or Benchmark studies on competitors
  Reverse Engineering of products based on the aroma
  Product Authentication based on analysis of odour profiles
  Flavour detection Adulteration
  Assessing efficiency masking odor
