All experiments first performed semi-technical...
Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) play an important role in the aroma profile of fermented beverages. However, because their low concentration samples, analysis is difficult. The headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS–SPME) technique coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC–MS) one methods successfully used to identify VSCs wine beer samples. this method encounters more obstacles when spirit beverages are analyzed, as ethanol content matrix decreases sensitivity. In work,...
