AI-based Software for Olfactory Prediction

Imagine you could get the tedious lab work of odorant testing done by a software to free up the time of your experts for creative activities and innovation. This would shorten time-to-market in scent and materials development and offer your customers a greater variety of products. Together with you, we want to work on this. 

Customized Scent Prediction Models

By using AI-based models, we want to enable digital scent prediction & materials design without physical laboratory tests.

Our customized AI-based software for scent prediction & materials design based on the relationship between scent and molecular structures will help you to:

  • Avoid redundant laboratory experiments and accelerate development processes
    How: Digital prediction of olfactory properties
  • Identify malodor and its source
    How: Detection of the source of smell within the molecular structure
  • Take advantage of in-house data, customary odor-descriptors and other individual modifications
    How: Adjustment of the software to your specific requirements
     

Parfum/Aroma Ingredient Discovery

Materials Design
   

Linking scent perception to the chemistry of odorants is elaborate work by human experts until today. This process is associated with numerous laboratory experiments requiring substantial time and material inputs.

The potential of AI-based scent prediction:

Materials modeling methods often neglect scent while focusing on other chemical properties. This leads to negative surprises at the synthesis stage, the necessity to start over the process from the beginning, higher costs and longer product cycles.

The potential of AI-based scent prediction:
  • Check the scent of odorants digitally just by using software
  • Let your fragrance experts concentrate on their craft
    without the necessity of conducting monotonous lab work
  • The potential of the link between scent and molecular structures has not been exploited in parfume and aroma creation yet
  • Conduct digital odor checks before launching production
  • Include odor in the conceptual phase of materials design to cut unnecessary costs and increase resource efficiency
  • The potential of the link between odor and molecular
    structures has not been exploited in materials design yet
