Flavor and Aroma Compound Identification Service Based on SPME-GC-MS

STEMart offers advanced Flavor and Aroma Compound Identification Services using SPME-GC-MS (Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), a specialized technique for detecting and analyzing volatile compounds in food, beverages, and fragrances. In our laboratory, SPME-GC-MS plays a key role in providing accurate and detailed insights into the chemical composition of flavors and aromas. This technology allows for non-destructive analysis, making it ideal for characterizing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to the sensory profiles of products.

SPME-GC-MS works by first using solid phase microextraction (SPME) to capture volatile and semi-volatile compounds from a sample without requiring solvents. These compounds are then separated using gas chromatography and analyzed based on their mass-to-charge ratio using mass spectrometry. This method is particularly effective for flavor and fragrance analysis, enabling precise identification of aroma profiles and the quantification of specific compounds in food, beverages, and consumer products.

Leveraging the capabilities of SPME-GC-MS, STEMart offers a comprehensive range of flavor and aroma compound identification services. Whether you are developing new products or optimizing formulations, our services provide critical data on the composition of volatile compounds to enhance product quality and appeal.
