What happens when a strange off-note appears in a product that's already on the market, and the source is a mystery? Welcome back to Tentamus Case Solved, the video series where we share real challenges we've faced and how we've solved them. In this episode, we'll look at a case that involved: 🔴 A chemical off-note reported by customers in bottled drinks 🔴 Products already on the market, requiring a fast diagnosis 🔴 An unexpected contamination source somewhere in the supply chain Our experts at aromaLAB GmbH - a Tentamus company - combined sensory analysis and GC-olfactometry to identify the responsible compound and traced it step by step from the drinks to the plastic caps, to the pellets, and finally to the wooden pallets used for storage and transport. Have you ever had to track a contamination problem back to an unexpected source? Let us know in the comments. 👇
