Comprehensive odorant analysis for on‐line applications using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT‐MS)

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry ( SIFT ‐ MS ) is a direct mass spectrometry technique developed for volatile organic compound ( VOC ) analysis. In this comprehensive review of the SIFT ‐ MS flavour literature, its flexibility and utility are evident. SIFT ‐ MS has found wide application in the analysis of formation and release of odorants in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds – including flavour and sensory optimization during cooking....
