The complementary roles of dynamic headspace and sorptive extraction in the analysis of fragranced consumer products using TD–GC–MS

The success of many personal care and household cleaning products has long depended on the precise mix of aroma-active compounds that they release. However, there has been increasing concern over the presence of potentially harmful compounds in these fragrance formulations. These factors have led to an ongoing need to monitor the volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) released by fragranced consumer products.

Explore a study on three fragranced consumer products, fabric conditioner, washing detergent and washing powder, that shows how dynamic headspace sampling, headspace sorptive extraction or immersive sorptive extraction can be used in conjunction with TD–GC–MS analysis to provide valuable information on the volatile profiles of fragranced consumer products.
