Panel test (5-30 members)
HS–(GC)–MS analysis
Analytical approach for studying wine aroma
Headspace–SPME sampling
15 min
1 mL wine
4 mL water
2 g NaCl
40 uL ISTD mix
60 ºC
DVB/carboxen/PDMS fiber (50/30 µm).
GC–TOF MS
BenchTOF-Select:
Data rate: 4 Hz
Mass range: 30–450 amu
Ion source: 200 ºC
Transfer line: 260 ºC
Ionisation energy: variable
GC Oven:
40 ºC for 1.0 min,
2 ºC/min to 60 ºC
3 ºC/min to 150 ºC
10 ºC/min to 200 ºC
25 ºC/min to 250 ºC (hold 10 min).
Column: HP-Innowax (50 m ×200 µm
×0.4 µm)
Injection:Splitless, 260 ºC.
Quantitative approach: Calibration Standard mix
• The calibration standard mix spanned a wide range of target compounds
prepared in same way as for wine aroma profiling (SPME) but using a
12% ethanol solution containing 0.5% tararic acid as a wine mimic
matrix instead of 1mL of wine
• Target compounds from 5 chemical classes:
– Esters
– Lactones
– Aldehydes & Ketones
– Alcohols & Terpene alcohols
– Acids
• Internal Standard compounds: two deuterium-labelled compounds or
surrogate absent in samples for each class

Conclusions
• Low energy ionisation aids identification and extends LoDs
• Low energy ionisation aids identification and extends LoDs
• 70 eV and 14 eV give comparable quantitative results
• GC×GC allows additional compounds to be identified
– Off-odours
– Fungicides
– Compounds at ultra-trace level
Case study 2:
Enhanced screening of environmental pollutants
in complex matrices by GC××××GC–TOF MS
A collaboration with…
Water Framework Directive (WFD)
• Lower detection limits
• New monitoring methods and analytical
techniques are now necessary
• Focus is on “priority” substances, but what
about those of emerging concern?
Conclusions & Further Work
• Promising start to the project; Select-eV adds an extra
dimension of information
• Quantitation of POPs required
• Compare local drinking water/pollution levels with prosthesis
extracts
