Real-time, high-sensitivity food analysis using direct MS

by | Food & Beverage, Mass Spectrometry

Looking for a fast and sensitive method for analysing food and flavors - selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry might just be what you need...

Real-Time High-Sensitivity Food and Flavor Analysis Using Direct MSDevelopment and release of aroma compounds from food products is dynamic. Conventional analytical technologies are poorly suited to studying changes on the seconds to minutes’ timescale. Separation Science, in collaboration with Syft Technologies, has produced an on-demand webinar that introduces selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) – a recent introduction to the flavor chemist’s and new product developer’s analytical tool kit. SIFT-MS analyses chemically diverse flavor compounds in real-time, including amines, organosulfur compounds, and volatile fatty acids.

Watch the presentation below, which describes the benefits of SIFT-MS for flavor analysis using various application examples:

Topics covered in the presentation include:

  • flavor development during processing of tomato, mango and cocoa
  • enzymatic flavor generation in fresh tomatoes and strawberries
  • in vivo assessment of “garlic breath” deodorization.

By viewing this on-demand presentation you will learn...

  • The fundamentals of the selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) technique, including its ability to selectively and comprehensively analyse samples in one, simple procedure.
  • How real-time analysis using SIFT-MS can provide great insight into flavor generation and flavor release.
  • How direct analysis can simplify workflow and speed new product development.
