Current measures against food fraud and food contaminations are neither efficient from a cost perspective nor sufficient from a quality perspective
Random sampling
Human sensory panels
Random testing of products in the laboratory does not provide comprehensive protection and can cause high costs, depending on the amount of samples to be tested
Human sensory panels are quite common in food industry although they feature a high level of subjectivity and thus are neither reliable nor comparable across panels
Plasmion offers a technical solution in terms of an industrial smell sensor that enables to overcome existing drawbacks
In-line measurement for comprehensive protection instead of random sampling
Reliable, data-driven results that are comparable across production sites and across country borders
Real-time, software-supported decision making instead of subjective judgements
