Today, organisations can leverage the Alpha MOS' accurate sensory analysis and evaluation to perfect their products. The company's robust solutions--HERACLES Neo, ASTREE, and IRIS--are designed to mimic the functions of the human nose, tongue, and eyes, respectively, and are further augmented by a sensory analysis software, AlphaSoft.HERACLES Neo, the electronic nose, uses gas chromatography for an accurate analysis of a product's aroma. Alongside, the AroChemBase feature of HERACLES Neo enables clients to go beyond the primary analysis and investigate the chemical composition of the aroma as well. Equally impressive is ASTREE, the company's electronic tongue, designed to seamlessly characterise the taste of different products. Using ASTREE, clients can avert the potential health hazards to their panel of tasters. And when it comes to colour and shape analysis, Alpha MOS' electronic eye, IRIS, offers unparalleled accuracy. The solution provides actionable insights regarding the aesthetics of the product, enabling clients to enhance the visual component of their food products and pave the way for a positive visual perception by consumers.And, AlphaSoft ties all these functionalities together, providing clients full control and visualisation over the automated `tasting' process. The sensory analysis software gathers data from all three sensory solutions and converts it into actionable insights, which can be leveraged to enhance the overall performance. It also allows clients to easily monitor their settings, define the analysis sequences, and perform data acquisition directly from their devices. Driving Clients to SuccessIt is not just these unparalleled solutions but also the exemplary workforce of Alpha MOS that has propelled them to the helm of the sensory analysis market. The company has a highly-skilled team of engineers and scientists spread across the globe to help clients in the food and beverage industry incorporate the cutting-edge sensory analysis solutions. "We conduct an initial assessment to understand client needs first, and then draw a personalised game plan for onboarding our sensory analysis solutions," says Sbabo. The implementation process takes only a matter of few days before the automated sensory analysis system is up and running. Even after implementation, the company provides continuous support, whether it is the annual maintenance or monthly assessments of the installed solutions. And in some cases, Alpha MOS also has the provision of assigning an experienced engineer at the customer site to manage the equipment.These unparalleled capabilities have been making Alpha MOS one of the most preferred solution providers for the food and beverage sector. For instance, the company has been working with a large carbonated soft drink company with over 1000 bottling sites. The client sought to augment the throughput and reliability of its testing capabilities. This was when they turned to Alpha MOS. By leveraging the company's sensory solutions, the client was able to boost their testing speeds and raise the standards of their product quality in several sites, across North America and Asia.This is but one success story among many that Alpha MOS has penned over the years. With a diverse and motivated team at its helm, the company is pulling no brakes when it comes to driving its sensory products to their greatest potential. Moving forward, the company will continue investing heavily in emerging sensor technologies, and consequently, expand into other sectors. For Alpha MOS, this is just the beginning of its journey to lead the food and beverage sensory analysis industry in years to come. Pierre Sbabo
