IOFI recommended practice for the quantitative analysis of volatile flavouring substances using coupled gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring (SIM)

Abstract

The present recommended practice concerns the quantification of volatile flavouring substances by coupled gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring (SIM). This technique is especially suitable for unresolved peaks in classical gas chromatography (e.g. quantification in a complex chromatogram) and is more sensitive than the use of the mass spectrometer in the full-scan mode. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
