Efficiently navigating intricate procedures through the application of Design Experiments

In a recent webinar, sponsored by JMP, a statistical discovery software developed by SAS Institute, industry professionals delved into the topic of how Design of Experiments (DoE) and modeling techniques can be utilised to enhance process development.

The webinar, which attracted a wide audience, featured Egon Gross, an engineer in biotechnology working at Symrise AG, a global leader in the flavour and fragrance industry. Gross, who has been focusing on process development and improvement for 18 years, shared insights into how Symrise employs DoE and visualization in JMP to improve process understanding and product formulation.

Florian Vogt, a systems engineer for JMP in Germany, also presented at the webinar. Vogt, who holds a Master of Science in biotechnology, previously worked as a process engineer in research and development at Südzucker AG. Vogt's presentation highlighted Symrise's use of adapted Definitive Screening Designs (DSD) in JMP to expedite experimentation and reduce time to market.

The webinar, however, did not delve into real-world scientific exploration and discovery, nor did it discuss the specifics of the new scents and flavors being developed. It also did not provide details about the organizational consensus around digital chemistry tools or how experiments are easily replicable in terms of specific methods or regulations.

Ben Valsler, the digital editor of our website magazine, moderated the event. The webinar concluded with a discussion on how to speed up process development with offline and online data, but did not provide specifics on the topic.

SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services, was instrumental in the development of JMP. The company, which launched the first version of JMP statistical discovery software in 1989, helps customers make better decisions faster through innovative solutions.

In summary, the JMP-sponsored webinar provided valuable insights into how Design of Experiments (DoE) and modeling techniques can be used to enhance process development, with a focus on the flavour and fragrance industry. While the webinar did not discuss certain aspects such as real-world scientific exploration, specifics of new scents and flavors, or the organisational consensus around digital chemistry tools, it served as a useful platform for professionals to learn about the potential benefits of these techniques.
