Abstract: | Summary Two methods based in dynamic headspace sampling have been compared for GC/MS analysis of volatile components in hard cheeses
(Manchego and other ewe’s milk varieties). In the first approach a purge & trap concentrator allowed volatile on-line determination
with reduced sample handling. The second method consisted of a manual device for trapping dinamically purged volatiles, which
were then anaysed by using an automatic thermal desorption system, coupled on-line with a GC-MS. The influence of the most
significant operating parameters (desorption times, flows and temperatures) on recovery and repeatability was studied for
both methods. Automatic purge & trap gave the best sensitivity and repeatability for high valatility components, probably
because its on-line operation mode, while the second procedure allowed the determination of a greater number of volatile components
and gave better yields for fatty acids and other medium volatility components. |
