Matrix-matched quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in gluten free flours and bakery products
Abstract
The aim of this study deals with characterize the volatile profiles of gluten free flours and bakery products. An appropriate HS-SPME/GC–MS methods for the quantification analyses was performed and corn starch solid as standards was used. 34 different samples were analysed, and 127 compounds distributed in 4 classes (alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, heterocyclic compounds, and terpenes), that make up the aroma of these gluten free, were identified. The developed method is characterized by detection limits of 0.0004 and 0.0047 mg/kg for camphor and pyrazine, respectively, and linearity of quantification standards were between 0.990 and 0.998 for a range of 3–50 mg/kg.
