Development and release of aroma compounds from food products is a dynamic process. Conventional analytical technologies are poorly suited to studying changes on the seconds to minutes’ timescale. This webinar will introduce selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) – a recent introduction to the flavor chemist’s and new product developer’s analytical tool kit. SIFT-MS analyzes chemically diverse flavor compounds in real-time analysis, including amines, organosulfur compounds, and volatile fatty acids.

In this webinar, we will describe the benefits of SIFT-MS for flavor analysis using various application examples:

• flavor development during processing of tomato, mango and cocoa
• enzymatic flavor generation in fresh tomatoes and strawberries
• in vivo assessment of “garlic breath” deodorization.
