Abstract
This commentary serves as an aid in HS-SPME analysis of food volatiles, particularly in alcoholic beverages, by examining key phenomena that occur when commonly used polymer-based SPME fibers are selected for analysis. Presented experiments were designed using two model compounds: 3-methyl-1-butanol and ethyl octanoate, characterized by different physicochemical properties, analyzed in an aqueous matrix containing low ethanol levels. The study explores the displacement on the SPME fiber, as well as the influence of matrix composition. Additionally, it compares adsorptive fiber coatings (CAR/DVB/PDMS) with absorptive coatings (PEG) to highlight the difference in extraction behavior. The goal of this paper was to demonstrate the source of “unexpected” results obtained during SPME extraction, and further propose some possible solutions of these challenges.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
