Experimental specialist with focus on odour analysis.

Using Gas chromatography-Olfactometry (GC-O) to evaluate smell problems and characterization of odours from different matrixes. We lead out a small amount of the sample after GC separation, the odours are then evaluated by our screened sensory panellists with sensitive noses.

The volatile odorous compounds are collected with dynamic headspace sampling on adsorbent in combination with gas chromatography. GC-FID for quantification of the analytes, GC-MS for identification of the odorous components. GC-FPD for detection of sulphur containing compounds with low odour threshold.
