Beer Aroma: Detection of Analyte Differences with GC-TOFMS and the Reference Feature in ChromaTOF®
contributed by Leco |
Introduction
Comparisons of food and beverage products can be useful for screening to identify samples and/or aroma analytes that differ from a target condition. This can be a quality control tool to monitor for adulterants, off-flavors, or the presence of desired analyte characteristics. Utilizing a non-targeted analytical approach allows the analyst to reliably determine what is in their samplewithout being limited towhat is already known or expected.GC-TOFMS is a powerful tool for performing non-targeted volatile analyses of aroma and flavor analytes in food and beverage products that uncovers what a targeted analytical approach may have been missing.
