Abstract
Rapid, hyphenated detection techniques involving a gas chromatograph (GC) coupled to a classical time-of-flight ion mobility (IMS) spectrometer, or more recently, to a micro-machined, miniature differential ion mobility spectrometer (DMS) are quite attractive for in-situ detection of many kinds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of concern and notably of natural contaminants appearing in the headspaces of selected foodstuff. This work aims at a rapid detection, identification and quantification of geosmin in the headspace of grape must and of wine. Samples of white and red wines have both been analyzed with a hyphenated GC/DMS and by Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) coupled to GC/MS taken as a reference. The detection of geosmin at concentrations below the human olfactory threshold of 50 ng/L has been demonstrated.
