Using automated sorptive extraction to detect trace-level odor-active compounds in plant-based foods
19 Jan 2026Detecting and eliminating off-odors in food is vital in the development of new products, but many of the most aroma-active compounds can be present at levels that make it difficult to implement widely-used analytical techniques such as purge-and-trap.
Explore this interview with food scientist Diana Owsienko, where she shares how she uses Markes’ HiSorb™ and Centri technologies to extract key analytes more quickly from smaller amounts of sample. Discover how it is simpler to run sensory and instrumental analyses on the same batch to gain improved results in a streamlined and automated workflow.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
