Certech collaborated with Hennessy – leader in the production of cognacs and part of the French luxury group LVMH – in identifying odorous molecules in cognacs.
Two key odorous molecules were identified in the Hennessy internal laboratory by coupling chromatography techniques with olfactometry (GC-O/TOFMS). Their chemical structures were determined by Certech using high resolution mass spectrometry (GCxGC-HRTOFMS) as well as its expertise in proposing structural hypotheses and then formulate the chemicals accordingly.
Based on these assumptions, two molecules were synthesised via organic chemistry for supplementary studies and specific developments.
