Comparison of Aroma and Flavor Profiles of Strawberry-Flavored Candy and Fresh Strawberries

contributed by Leco | 02/14/2017

Characterizing and differentiating samples based on similarities and differences of individual analytes can be important for many food and flavor applications. Gaining this type of understanding about a sample can lead to better quality control or process optimization. GC-TOFMS is a powerful analytical tool for making these comparisons, as individual analytes are separated chromatographically and full m/z range data are provided for identification and quantification. This tool allows the analyst to see more analytes and uncover what they might be missing. In this application, we demonstrate a comparison of compounds in a strawberry-flavored candy and a fresh strawberry to determine similarities and differences that may contribute to the taste and aroma.
