Descrizione
Risultati analitici
In this study, SPME was used for the analysis of volatiles in milk using a headspace method. Light can catalyze the formation of peroxides that can cleave double bonds in fatty acids. The cleaved by-products form aldehydes that can give the food a pungent off flavor. Dr. Ray Marsili investigated the feasibility of using SPME as a substitute sample preparation device prior to GC/MS analysis. The Carboxen/PDMS fiber was evaluated for the extraction of low ppb levels of pentanal, hexanal, and dimethyldisulfide. The results of the comparison of SPME to dynamic headspace analysis indicate that SPME-GC/MS is more accurate and precise while providing sensitivities equivalent to DH-GC/MS. The GC column used, Supel-Q PLOT, operates via gas-solid chromatography with a DVB adsorbent and permits the separation of a wide range of analytes.
