Researchers from the Universidad de Sevilla (Spain) used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with headspace sorptive extraction-thermal desorption to analyze volatile compounds in wine vinegars. Quantification of the aroma compounds is difficult because of matrix complexity and low analyte concentrations. The researchers successfully validated the method and obtained low detection and quantification limits. The method reportedly allowed the researchers to determine 53 compounds in various wine vinegars, some for the first time.
HPLC 2025 Preview: Functionalized Monoliths as Selective Sample Preparation Materials
May 16th 2025Analyzing trace compounds from complex samples often requires purification and pre-concentration, and online coupling of solid-phase extraction (SPE) with liquid chromatography (LC) helps minimize analysis time and solvent/sample use. Monoliths with large macropores are ideal for this coupling due to their low back pressure and versatility in various formats.
