Enhancing Aroma Profiling of Wine with GC–TOF MS

This application note shows that BenchTOF time-of-flight mass spectrometers, coupled with GC, can provide a high performance solution for the detection and quantitation of aroma compounds in wine extracts. In particular, we show how the ChromCompare data-mining module of BenchTOF software allows rapid identification of minor differences between samples. Results also demonstrate how the Select-eV variable-energy ionization capability of the flagship BenchTOF-Select can enhance both the sensitivity and selectivity of analyses.
