After the introductory sections concerning headspace definitions and history, the chapter describes the approaches to static headspace (S-HS) and dynamic headspace (D-HS), and to high-concentration capacity sampling techniques. The latter are techniques bridging the two approaches S-HS to D-HS, where the analytes are accumulated from a vapor or liquid phase on a stationary phase by sorption or adsorption. The following sections deal with quantitation with headspace sampling in both static and dynamic modes illustrating the approaches that can be adopted as a function of the physical status (liquid or solid) of the investigated matrix. The last section describes the use of headspace with non-separative methods, i.e., directly combined to mass spectrometry and chemometric elaboration without a preliminary chromatographic separation.","PeriodicalId":360180,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Gas Chromatography in Food Analysis","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129142420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basic technology was developed between 1980 and 2000, but has been more widely applied in a routine manner only since about 2010, triggered by mineral oil analysis in food. Pre-separation liquid chromatography and the use of detectors for accurately determining the relevant fraction are well-established technologies, fast and more efficient than alternative methods. It was the transfer of large volumes of liquid to gas chromatography (GC), usually based on solvent effects and the retention gap technique, that challenged analysts. Particularly in the 1990s, numerous ideas, techniques and methods have been described, highlighting the potential, but so far little has become routine. This review deals with mainstream online LC-GC, but also with ideas considered interesting and perhaps worthwhile to follow up in further developments.","PeriodicalId":360180,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Gas Chromatography in Food Analysis","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127564914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the sensory-active compounds in food, odorants play a major role. The olfactory profile of a food is basically determined by a comparably small number of key odorants, typically in the range of 10–20. Toward the identification of these key food odorants, gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC-O) is a key technique. With little effort, GC-O allows the screening of the volatiles isolated from a food for odor-active compounds and to distinguish them from the majority of odorless volatiles. Gas chromatography–olfactometry is based on using the human nose as a GC detector in parallel to a second detector such as a flame ionization detector or a mass spectrometer. Special care must be taken with sample preparation to avoid compound degradation and the formation of odor-active artifacts. On the basis of the GC-O results, the key odorants in a food can be determined after exact quantitation of potent odorants and calculation of odor activity values followed by sensory evaluation of odor reconstitution models. In food research, GC-O can be applied, for example, to discover novel odorants, to elucidate the molecular basis of varietal aroma differences and off-flavors and to optimize food processing, as well as to approximate odor thresholds, particularly in structure/odor relation studies.","PeriodicalId":360180,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Gas Chromatography in Food Analysis","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114840127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
