Aroma and Flavor
Scalping Determination – Utilizing Objective, Instrument Based Protocols
In a perfect world, food and
beverage products could be packaged in inexpensive plastic packaging,
placed on the shelf and expected to retain their flavor character and
quality for months or years of storage. Back to the real world, a number
of processes act on the product to disturb this picture.
These processes include oxidation
based flavor changes due to through-wall migration of oxygen,
acceleration of oxidation processes as a result of exposure to UV light
and storage temperature induced effects; just to name a few. One
additional vehicle for negative impact on flavor quality is the loss of
critical aroma or flavor components through ‘scalping’ interaction with
packaging components.
