TDTS 104 Rapid and sensitive aroma profiling of strawberries using dynamic headspace sampling and TD–GC/TOF M
sponsored by Markes International Ltd
Summary
This Application Note describes the fast and highly sensitive detection of trace-level aroma compounds in the headspace gas above fresh strawberries. Sampling is carried out using an easy-to-use microchamber system, with analysis by thermal desorption (TD) and gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOF MS). Compound identification is further enhanced by the use of TargetViewTM software, allowing rapid screening against a large commercial library and a smaller customised library of sulfur compounds.
