Flavor & Fragrance Duplication
Precise replication using GC/MS analysis and advanced formulation expertise
What Is Flavor & Fragrance Duplication?
Flavor and fragrance duplication is the precise replication of an existing product's chemical composition to create a functional replacement. Unlike matching, which focuses on sensory equivalence, duplication aims to recreate the exact chemical profile using advanced analytical techniques like GC/MS analysis combined with expert formulation knowledge.
This service is ideal when you need to replicate a discontinued product, replace a supplier, ensure regulatory compliance, or reverse-engineer a competitive formulation. Our duplication process delivers formulation accuracy and functional performance that meets your exact specifications, backed by comprehensive analytical data and quality verification.
Duplication vs. Matching: Choosing the Right Approach
Duplication (This Service)
- • Replicates exact chemical composition
- • Uses GC/MS analysis for precision
- • Functional replacement focus
- • Higher formulation accuracy
- • Ideal for regulatory compliance
Matching
- • Focuses on sensory equivalence
- • Flexibility in ingredient selection
- • Budget-conscious solutions
- • Verified by sensory testing
- • Ideal for cost optimization
Need sensory equivalence with budget flexibility? See our Flavor & Fragrance Matching service.
