40 DHS + derivatization Example: Determination of stale-flavor compounds (aldehydes, ketones) using DHS on PFBHA impregnated PDMS tubes and GC-MS Derivatization reaction Pentafluorobenzyl hydroxylamine aldehyde or keton oxime (structural isomers syn/anti) Target solutes: octanal, nonanal, decanal, 2-octenal, 2-nonenal, 2,4-decadienal

41 Determination of stale-flavor compounds using DHS on PFBHA impregnated PDMS tubes and GC-MS DHS method for impregnation DHS method for DHS of beer samples These methods can be put in one sequence consisting of sequential DHS impregnation and (beer) sample analyses Impregnation + dry purge Sampling + TDU desorption

44 DHS Large option for MPS

45

46 Importance of DHS in Flavor Analysis Perception: no technique can deliver the same results as steam destillation (or SAFE) Gerstel DHS: Sensitivity Automation Reduced cross-contamination (e.g. compared to P&T) Flexibility (different modes): DHS > FEDHS > MVM Probably the closest to SDSE & SAFE: full profile 46

47 Volatiles & Aroma Analysis: my toolbox 1. Static headspace (SHS) 2. HS-SPME (headspace) 3. Dynamic Headspace (DHS) 4. Full evaporation DHS (FEDHS) FEDHS is only technque that has the potential to provide profiles identical to liquid injection. 5. Multi Volatile Method (MVM) Remark: more trapping = more difficult desorption and slower injection Need for additional focussing?

48 Quid Semi-Volatiles? Often other chromatographic conditions required/used. How much enrichment needed? Method selection 1. (micro-) Liquid-liquid extraction (in-vial extraction) 2. SBSE (immersion!!!) 3. Solid phase extraction (SPE) 4. FEDHS???
