Flavor and Fragrance Research
New flavors and fragrances are a powerful driving force behind the food, beverage, household product, and cosmetic industries. Flavor and fragrance chemists are under constant pressure to create and capitalize on trends in the marketplace to deliver novel compounds and blends to their clients. ACD/Labs offers software that can streamline information management and accelerate product development within this industry.
Manage R&D Information with a Single Software Package
New tastes and scents may be created by synthesizing new compounds or optimizing old ones, or by creating new combinations of existing compounds. Organizing the large amount of information surrounding flavors and fragrances can be challenging. Aside from the wealth of analytical spectra and chromatograms, physical chemical properties, and synthetic information, there is the need to track which molecules are present in which flavors and fragrances. With so much disparate information from various sources, it can be difficult to keep track of it all.
Streamline information management within a single software platform to process and store analytical data, reactions, and product blends. Our software allows researchers to:
- Access and process data on their desktop
- Store and retrieve analytical and chemical data with structure-searchable databases
- Track in-house compounds, flavor or fragrance blends, and chemical reactions in a structure database
- Access experimental data and results over the corporate intranet

Optimize Compounds for the Product Formulation with Physical Property Prediction
Flavor and fragrance delivery must be optimized for different food, beverage, cosmetic, and household product formulations. Physical properties such as lipophilicity, solubility, and boiling point can provide insight into which compounds are the most appropriate for a particular formulation. Physical properties can be accurately predicted based on the chemical structure, which can be used to optimize candidates prior to synthesis.

Recognize or Elucidate Natural Flavors and Fragrances
Flavor and fragrance researchers often turn to nature for inspiration. Mixtures of flavor or fragrance compounds need to be separated and identified. Software can accelerate the identification and analysis of natural compounds with spectral library searching and structure elucidation. More information is available regarding solutions for Natural Products Research.
Quickly Find and Identify Degradants
The rate and products of degradation can have a large impact on the shelf-life of the final product. Our advanced algorithms can extract low-intensity signals from noise, elucidate degradant structures, and compare samples over time. More information about solutions for degradant analysis is available here.
Facilitate Polymer Research
Polymer encapsulation is increasingly used for controlled flavor and fragrance delivery.

Enhance the Communication of Results with Advanced Reporting Tools
Creating reports is a necessary, if often tedious, part of research and development. ACD/Labs software simplifies the reporting process by seamlessly integrating chemical structures, spectra, and results with Microsoft Office products for reports and presentations.
