In a market where consumers demand not only new and innovative flavors and fragrances, but ingredients of the highest quality, our customers must know their products from the inside out. IFF's Analytical Science group is committed to helping customers do just that.

To ensure we provide our customers with the best possible product information and service, Analytical Science constantly upgrades its capabilities to guarantee accurate and precise analysis of flavors, fragrances, and ingredients and to make certain that our separations and compound identification systems are state-of-the-art.

Some of the technologies developed and employed by the Analytical Science group include:

• The Generessence® program uses a combination of truly in-depth headspace and extract analyses, novel component identification and synthesis, and sensory profiling to allow the creation of an outstanding and expanding range of flavors and fragrances.

• Our Global Commercial Product Analysis database stores in-depth data from commercial products, providing insight into current trends and competitive intelligence.

• Fragrance Performance is assessed by sensory evaluation, not by prediction models. Our creative staff is able to optimize fragrances for greater performance.
