Headspace Analysis of Aroma Compounds Using Porous Adsorbents

Authors: 

Tamara Misharina

A novel procedure is developed for the quantitative determination of volatile compounds in the vapour phase over samples. Substances were extracted and preconcentrated from the headspace on porous polymer adsorbents under the conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium, followed by back extraction from the adsorbent using organic solvents. The final monitoring was performed by capillary gas chromatography with an internal standard. The influence of adsorption time and the concentration of substances in an aqueous solution on the degree of extraction were also studied; linear correlations between the quantities of substances in the gas and aqueous phases were found. The method was used for the determination of volatile substances in the gas phase over liquid and solid matrixes of different composition.
