Descrizione
Risultati analitici
SPME can reduce sampling time and is complementary to rapid separation/detection techniques such as time compressed gas chromatography (TCGC) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS), to permit analysis of dozens of compounds in a few minutes. Investigators have used SPME to monitor flavor volatiles in apple, strawberry, tomato, and many other fruits and vegetables. In this application, 65 μm PDMS/divinylbenzene (DVB) SPME fibers were used to capture volatiles emanating from Mutsu apples stored for 3-4 months at 0 °C.
