The blossoming of technology for the analysis of complex aroma bouquets—a review on flavour and odorant multidimensional and comprehensive gas chromatography applications

Abstract

Multidimensional approaches in gas chromatography have been established as potent tools to (almost) attain fully resolved analyses. Flavours and odours are important application fields for these techniques since they include complex matrices, and are of interest for both scientific study and to consumers. This article is a review of the main research studies in the above theme, discussing the achievements and challenges that demonstrate a maturing of analytical separation technology.
