Fragrance & odour profiling

The complementary roles of dynamic headspace and sorptive extraction in the analysis of fragranced consumer products using TD-GC-MS

This study describes the analysis of three fragranced consumer products - fabric conditioner, washing detergent and washing powder - using three sampling approaches in conjunction with analysis by TD-GC-MS. As well as comparing the analyte ranges covered by dynamic headspace sampling, headspace sorptive extraction and immersive sorptive extraction, the ability of Markes’ re-collection technology to streamline method development and validation is discussed.

Near-real-time profiling of fragrance components and potential allergens from air fresheners using TD-GC-MS

In this study we describe the use of a continuously sampling thermal desorber in conjunction with GC–MS to monitor the build-up and decay of fragrances and potential allergens released into indoor air from a plug-in air freshener.

Comprehensive analysis of aroma compounds released from incense sticks using TD-GC-MS

This document describes the analysis of VOCs released from incense sticks (agarbatti) using three sampling methods – a Micro-Chamber/Thermal Extractor for comprehensive analysis, pumped in-room sampling, and an Easy-VOC grab-sampler for robust sampling in challenging environments.
