For an accurate risk assessment of furan, a potential human carcinogen, levels must be determined in human blood plasma using a simple and robust assay. In this study, solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS) was used to analyze blood plasma levels of furan in 100 healthy individuals who consumed a normal diet. The subjects were 30 to 70 years of age and 51% were women. Ultimately, an analytical method was established for analyzing furan in human blood. The limit of quantification (LOQ) and furan recovery rate in blood were 1.0 ppb and 104%, respectively. Finally, furan was detected in 21 individuals (13 males, 8 females) with levels ranging up to 17.86 ppb (ng furan/g food).

In this study, the volatile compounds in 9 commercial fermented soybean pastes were extracted and analyzed by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively. A total of 63 volatile components, including 21 esters, 7 alcohols, 7 acids, 8 pyrazines, 5 volatile phenols, 3 ketones, 6 aldehydes, and 6 miscellaneous compounds, were identified. Esters, acids, and pyrazines were the largest groups among the quantified volatiles. About 50% of the total quantified volatile material was contributed by 5 compounds in 9 soybean paste samples; ethyl hexadecanoate, acetic acid, butanoic acid, 2/3-methyl butanoic acid, and tetramethyl-pyrazine. Three samples (CJW, SIN, and HAE) made by Aspergillus oryzae inoculation showed similar volatile patterns as shown in principal component analyses to GC-MS data sets, which showed higher levels in ethyl esters and 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol. Traditional fermented soybean pastes showed overall higher levels in pyrazines and acids contents.

This study addresses the prevalent issue of meat species authentication and adulteration through a chemometrics-based approach, crucial for upholding public health and ensuring a fair marketplace. Volatile compounds were extracted and analyzed using headspace-solid-phase-microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Adulterated meat samples were effectively identified through principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Through variable importance in projection scores and a Random Forest test, 11 key compounds, including nonanal, octanal, hexadecanal, benzaldehyde, 1-octanol, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, and 2-acetylpyrrole for beef, and hexanal and 1-octen-3-ol for pork, were robustly identified as biomarkers. These compounds exhibited a discernible trend in adulterated samples based on adulteration ratios, evident in a heatmap. Notably, lipid degradation compounds strongly influenced meat discrimination. PCA and PLS-DA yielded significant sample separation, with the first two components capturing 80% and 72.1% of total variance, respectively. This technique could be a reliable method for detecting meat adulteration in cooked meat.

16종의 휘발성 유기화합물을 blank water에 첨가하고 고정상으로 $100{\mu}m$ polydimethyl siloxane을 입힌 solid phase microextraction(SPME) fiber를 사용하는 headspace SPME방법으로 추출하여 gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)로 분석하였다. 이 방법의 평균회수율은 97%, 평균상대표준편차는 4.7%, 그리고 검출한계는 $0.01-0.5{\mu}g/l$를 나타냈다. 즉 SPME 방법을 이용한 수용액 중의 휘발성 유기화합물의 결과는 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 기존의 다른 방법보다 우수하고 편리한 방법으로 나타났다.

Identifying the extracellular metabolites of microorganisms in fresh vegetables is industrially useful for assessing the quality of processed foods. Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (PCC) is a plant pathogenic bacterium that causes soft rot disease in cabbages. This microbial species in plant tissues can emit specific volatile molecules with odors that are characteristic of the host cell tissues and PCC species. In this study, we used headspace solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) to identify volatile compounds (VCs) in PCC-inoculated cabbage at different storage temperatures. HS-SPME-GC-MS allowed for recognition of extracellular metabolites in PCC-infected cabbages by identifying specific volatile metabolic markers. We identified 4-ethyl-5-methylthiazole and 3-butenyl isothiocyanate as markers of fresh cabbages, whereas 2,3-butanediol and ethyl acetate were identified as markers of soft rot in PCC-infected cabbages. These analytical results demonstrate a suitable approach for establishing non-destructive plant pathogen-diagnosis techniques as alternatives to standard methods, within the framework of developing rapid and efficient analytical techniques for monitoring plant-borne bacterial pathogens. Moreover, our techniques could have promising applications in managing the freshness and quality control of cabbages.

The volatile components in 'Fuji' apple were effectively determined by a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 48 volatile components were identified and tentatively characterized based on National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) MS spectra library and the Kovats GC retention index I (RI). The harvested Fuji apples were divided into two groups: 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treated and non-treated (control) samples for finding important indicators between two groups. The major volatile components of both apples were 2-methylbutyl acetate, hexyl acetate, butyl 2-methylbutanoate, hexyl butanoate, hexyl 2-methylbutanoate, hexyl hexanoate and farnesene. No significant differences of these major compounds between 1-MCP treated and non-treated apples were observed during 1 month storage. Interestingly, the amount of off-flavors, including 1-butanol and butyl butanoate, in 1-MCP treated apples decreased over 5 months, and then increased after 7 months. However, non-treated apples did not show significant changes for off-flavors during 7 month storage (p<0.05). The non-treated apples also contained the higher levels of two off-flavors than 1-MCP treated apples. These two compounds, 1-butanol and butyl butanoate, can be used as quality indicators for the quality evaluation of Fuji apple.

SPME techniques have proven to be very useful tools in the analysis of wide VOCs in the air. In this study, we estimated VOCs in ambient and workplace air using a Tedlar ba /SPME/GC/MS system. The calibration curve was set to be linear over the range of 1-30 ppbv. The detection limits ranged from 10 pptv to 0.93 ppbv for all VOCs. Reproducibility of TO-14 target gas mixtures by SPME/GC/MS averaged at 8.8 R.S.D (%). Air toxic VOCs (hazardous air pollutants, HAPs) containing a total of forty halohydrocarbons, aromatics, and haloaro-matic carbons could be analyzed with significant accuracy, detection limit and linearity at low ppbv level. Only reactive VOCs with low molecular weight, such as chloromethane, vinylchloride, ethylchloride and 1,2-dichloro-ethane, yielded relatively poor results using this technique. In ambient air samples, ten VOCs were identified and quantified after external calibration. VOC concentration in ambient and workplace air ranged from 0.04 to 1.85 ppbv. The overall process was successfully applied to identify and quantify VOCs in ambient/workplace air.

현재 시중에서 판매되고 있는 비타민드링크 제품 중 20개사 31개 제품의 벤젠 함량을 headspace-solid phase microextraction(HS-SPME)법을 이용하여 GC/MS-SIM으로 분석을 하였다. SPME fiber는 $100{\mu}m$ PDMS를 사용하였다. 또한 정량방법은 표준물첨가법을 사용하였으며 40 mL vial에 용액 25 mL를 취하고 그 안에 자석젓개를 넣어 1200 rpm에서 교반시키고 4분 동안 흡착시킨 후 1분 동안 GC에서 탈착시켜 표준검량곡선을 작성하였다. 이 때 검량곡선의 상관계수 값은 0.999이상을 나타내었다. 검출한계는 시료를 분석할 때마다 산출하였는데 평균값이 0.56 ng/mL(${\pm}0.43$)이었으며 회귀식이 존재하는 농도의 범위는 0~40 ng/mL였다. 그 결과 시료 중 벤젠의 함유량은 nd~47.35 ng/mL의 농도의 범위였다. 전체 시료 중 15개의 제품에서 벤젠이 검출되었으며 그 중 5개의 제품에서는 벤젠의 함량이 먹는 물 수질기준인 10 ng/mL를 넘는 각각 16.99 ng/mL, 35.14 ng/mL, 16.03 ng/mL, 47.35 ng/mL, 14.28 ng/mL가 검출되었다.
