Profiling of gin botanicals

16 April 2024

The complexity of gin samples, with numerous botanicals contributing to aroma and flavor, makes chemical profiling challenging. CTC Analytics discusses the chemical profiling of gin botanicals using Headspace-SPME-ARROW-GCxGC-MSD/FID, a powerful analytical technique. GCxGC-MS is employed for its enhanced peak capacity and sensitivity. Sample preparation is automated using Headspace-SPME Arrow to target key compounds while avoiding matrix compounds. The study analyzed twelve gins, identifying major botanicals and distinguishing between samples based on compound composition.
