The company proposes a wide range of traditional gelatins coming from pork, bovine or fish skins intended for pharmaceutical, food or technical applications. The group applies a strict policy in terms of traceability and products quality, in particular to guarantee that their gelatins have no unpleasant odor. As part of a partnership with OSEO, a French state company aimed at encouraging industrial innovation, Weishardt equipped with a HERACLES electronic nose (Alpha MOS, France).

Product Development is optimized through utilization of Alpha MOS's Electronic Sensory Evaluation System, the Ultra-Fast GC HERACLES Electronic Nose, and the Electronic Tongue, ASTREE. The two systems share their database to create a complete sensory chemical fingerprint of Optimum Nutrition's gold standards to insure strict quality control for incoming raw materials including flavors and finished products.

气味指纹分析技术是近十年来针对复杂介质和含协同作用的样品而发展起来的一门新技术。本研究采用Alpha M．0．S aFOX 4000电子鼻对4个样品进行测定，对测得的指纹图谱进行技术分析，探讨采用电子鼻技术鉴别真假珍珠粉的可能性。结果表明真假珍珠粉在电子鼻的分析谱图中存在明显的区别，电子鼻技术在真假珍珠粉研究中有一定的应用潜力。

目的:评价野生白术与栽培白术的品质。方法:通过电子鼻检测不同白术气味在传感器上的响应值,并 采用主成分( PCA) 、判别因子(DFA)及统计质量控制法( SQC)进行分析。结果:野生白术与栽培白术气味差异明 显;浙江磐安白术、安徽祁门引种的浙白术及阳生环境栽培的野生白术气味相近;湖北咸丰、江西修水等地白术及 苍术与其它白术的气味差异较大。结论:电子鼻技术对白术气味的判别与传统经验鉴别相一致,电子鼻技术结合 数学模型可以作为中药质量鉴别手段

多种中西药物同治一病的物质基础,按照西医药观点,它们是生物电子等排体;按照中医药观点,它们具 有相同相近的四气五味,按照笔者假说,即具有相同相近的阳- 气- 酸、阴- 味- 碱。用电子鼻、电子舌可以检测中西 药的宏观化学成分四气五味。
