This application note demonstrated a fragrance profiling study by a CDS Analytical 7000C concentrator with a dynamic headspace module. This system is mounted on a PAL RTC rail and connected to a mainstream GC/MS for compounds separate and detection. The results were compared to direct GC injection to show superior response factors and recovery rates. Reproducibility study is also performed through multiple runs.
Odor of the consumer products is one of the key factors that determine the perception and acceptance of the product, especially for the food and cosmetic industry. The flavor and fragrance profiling analysis becomes critical for these manufacturers in the quality control and assurance process. There are various sampling techniques before reaching the GC/MS for separation and detection, but the most common way is the headspace, where the volatile organic compounds (VOC) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) from the top of the sample in a sealed container were collected. If the sampling technique involves a concentration device, which is known as the analytical trap, it could be further categorized as the dynamic headspace.
