Enhanced Odor Profiling of Strawberries Using TD and TOF MS

This application note describes the application of the BenchTOF-dx™ time-of-flight mass spectrometer to enhance the detection of trace-level components in the headspace gas above fresh strawberries. The versatility of TargetView™ compound identification software is demonstrated by an ‘all-component’ search against NIST and by a targeted search for various odor-active sulfur compounds.
