Volatile and semivolatile compound screening of cocoa raw materials and finished chocolate products using headspace SPME-GC-TMS

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used to generate volatile and semivolatile compound profiles of raw materials used in the production of chocolate products. The headspace of cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and finished chocolate were sampled using SPME and analyzed using a portable gas chromatograp...

Description
Summary:Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used to generate volatile and semivolatile compound profiles of raw materials used in the production of chocolate products. The headspace of cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and finished chocolate were sampled using SPME and analyzed using a portable gas chromatograph-toroidal ion trap mass spectrometer (GC-TMS).
