VOC Insights: How emissions advance efficacy and diagnostics
We use VOCs to prove the effectiveness of products, make the invisible visible and measurable - and drive research and diagnostics forward. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are omnipresent: they are found as flavorings in our food, as fragrances in our cosmetic products or enter the ambient air through a wide variety of materials as both odor-active and odorless molecules. The human body emits VOCs via breath, skin or other routes. These contain valuable information on biological processes, health conditions and the actual effect of products. They reflect complex metabolic processes and act as biomarkers for our health.

Among other things, the analysis of VOCs makes a decisive contribution to medical diagnostics. Breath and skin emissions can provide early indications of physiological changes - often before classic symptoms appear or conventional clinical parameters are recognizable. This opens up new possibilities for preventive measures or personalized therapeutic approaches and monitoring.
In respiratory gas analysis projects, for example, we examine food supplements and evaluate the chemical signatures in the exhaled air in order to reliably record bioavailability and absorption time and analyze how long they remain in the body. Our research ranges from respiratory gas analyses and the investigation of inhaled exposure to studies on product shelf life and safety. All studies are carried out under the strictest quality and ethical standards.
These findings are not only relevant for medical applications but are also of great importance for manufacturers of cosmetics and care products: after all, being able to prove the molecular effect of a product creates trust and genuine unique selling points on the market.
