Aim: Knowledge on the basic instrumental aroma analysis in theory and practice, origin of aroma components, and their reactions in a product.
Contents: Theoretical and practical principles of static and dynamic head-space sampling, destillation and extraction. Interaction between aroma components and the food matrix (selective adsorption, relative volatility, distribution between a water - and lipid phase). Theory and practices in capillary-GC, internal standard and Kovats indices. Detectors like FID and MS. Statistical design and treatment of detector signal. Relation between metabolic and chemical reactions and aroma formation. Aromaperception and effluent sniffing. Statistical data handling.
