The first choice for many laboratory flash point testing in the global flavor and fragrance industry First, flavor and fragrance industry background 1, Grabner fragrant spices automatic micro-fine flash point test solutions Test principle The MiniFlash manufactured by Grabner is an instrument born to replace the traditional flash point test methods such as Binsky - Martin. It makes the flash point test safer and easier to operate.

Flavors and fragrances are products of " high, fine and new " technology that have emerged along with the development of modern industry . They have been widely used in food, daily chemical, tobacco and other industries, and are closely related to people's daily lives. On this basis, a fragrance and fragrance industry characterized by a high degree of specialization and concentration has been formed.
status quo
In the 1980s, the same flavor and fragrance companies in developed countries in a highly dispersed state, after nearly decades of gathering, before the formation of today's international industry giants. The world's leading multinational companies have spices: IFF United States, the Swiss Givaudan (Givaudan) and Fen Mei Yi (Firmenich), Britain's Quest and BBA (BushBookAllen), Japan Takasago (Takasago) and Hasegawa (Hasegawa) , Xinsen and Deweilong. The world's eight major fragrance companies account for 2/3 of the world 's market share, and hundreds of other companies make up the remaining 1/3 of the business .
Before 2003 , international flavor and fragrance products were basically monopolized by developed countries. The total demand of developed countries accounted for about 90% of total production , and 10% of products were exported, which proved that other countries used less. With the development of the economy, people's living standards continue to improve, and only 10% of these countries have become the new growth point and driving force of the flavor and fragrance industry. Like our country, demand in 2010 reached 20 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 4.7% . The top ten international perfume companies have sales in the country ( region ) only 30% to 50% , and the remaining 50% to 70% of flavor and fragrance products are sold to other countries and regions. As the consumption of flavors and fragrances in Europe and North America has become saturated, the main competition focus is on third world countries and regions in Asia, Oceania and South America.
Trends and needs
Freedonia Group's report shows that by the food and beverage processing industry demand growth in consumer spending and other factors to stimulate increases in developing countries, the future of the global flavors and fragrances market will average 4.3% growth rate, by 2014 the global fragrances The spice market will total $ 23.5 billion. Among them, North America accounted for 28% , Asia Pacific accounted for 28% , Western Europe accounted for 27% , and other regions accounted for 17% .
In recent years, the imbalance in the demand market has become more and more obvious. For example , the sales growth contribution of the world's major flavor and fragrance manufacturers in 2010 relied mostly on emerging markets such as Asia and Latin America, which also promoted the world's major flavor and fragrance manufacturers. Capacity to R&D layout shifts to emerging markets.
Natural flavor production was transferred from North America to South America due to land and labor costs, from Western Europe to North Africa, and from Japan to Southeast Asia. While the production of synthetic flavors and fragrances has increased due to the cost of pollution control and environmental protection, some of the highly polluting products have been purchased from countries such as China and India.
Second, the solution
Flavor and fragrance chemicals are usually based on alcohol or other flammable organic agents, so fragrances and fragrance chemicals are flammable liquids.
Due to their flammability, the transportation of these chemicals is generally regulated by relevant government regulations, and manufacturers are also required to classify the flammability level of products according to the flash point of the products, and the flash point measurement methods often cited in the regulations such as Binns The base - Martin method requires a larger sample size for testing. However, larger test volumes are often undesirable to the producer, after all, flavors and fragrances are products with small but high value-added products. Statistics show that for every Binsky - Martin test, the cost of flavors and fragrances varies from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.
In addition, flavors and fragrances release energy when heated and flickering, often accompanied by unpleasant gases.
The problems caused by the conventional flash point test method, the high sample demand and the generation of unpleasant gas, are eager to show that producers need a better test method and a more optimized solution.
Thus, the introduction of Grabner fragrant spices automatic micro-fine flash point test solutions. 
1 ) MiniFlash automatic flash point test instrument not only realizes high-level safety operation of the instrument, but also minimizes fire hazard and test cost by measuring only 1ml of sample volume and completely isolated continuous closed cup test.
2 ) MiniFlash also provides benefits for the testers who test the flavor and fragrance. The small sample volume and the completely isolated continuous closed cup test greatly reduce the generation and volatilization of odor substances during the test, further ensuring the safety and health of the experimenter.
3 ) In the independent Round Robin test, the test data of MiniFlash shows that the result is equivalent to the test result of Binski - Martin method. The specific data is shown in Figure 1 below. The result of this equivalent data, the US Department of Transportation granted a special permit to allow " ... the flash point of volatile organic liquids, which can be replaced by the Grabner MiniFlash flash point analyzer."
The ASTM Flash Point Test Committee officially stated that there is no statistically significant difference in data test results between ASTM D7094 and ASTM D93 Procedure A.
In general, MiniFlash has created a safer and more enjoyable working environment while reducing the cost of flavor and fragrance testing. 
The non-invasive ventilator mode of this product can be used for adult patients who do not rely on invasive ventilation support, such as respiratory dysfunction, to provide ventilation assistance and respiratory support;
Products with high-flow heating and humidification mode can be used for humidification and oxygen therapy for adult patients with spontaneous breathing.
