Solid Phase Microextraction: Solventless Sample Preparation for Monitoring Flavor Compounds by Capillary Gas Chromatography
6 Feb 2009

This application note discusses SPME and applications for the characterization of flavor components in foods and beverages and fragrance compounds in a wide range of products. SPME is fast and easy, and eliminates the costs and hazards associated with using organic solvents. SPME can be used for screening samples prior to a detailed analysis. Good precision under consistent sampling conditions also makes the technique viable in quantitative analyses.
