Application Note ReView: AS199: Dynamic Headspace (DHS) for the Screening of Fragrance Compounds in Flowers by GC/Q-TOF Using Chemometrics
AS199: Dynamic Headspace (DHS) for Fragrance Compound Screening in Flowers by GC/Q-TOF Using Chemometrics.
Flower scents are commonly used in the fragrance industry. Additionally, smell profiles can be useful from a botanical perspective to characterise different species and get a better understanding of the plant volatiles and the chemical ecology behind it.
The most challenging task for these applications is the extraction of a representative fragrance profile that mimics the flower smell being studied. Dynamic Headspace (DHS) is a powerful technique that can fully extract the entire profile.
Therefore, this edition of Application Note ReView takes a look back at AS199 – a chemometric approach using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to effectively separate different flower species and identify unique fragrance compounds. This information can be used to understand unique differences that may be useful in understanding aroma and consumer preference.

Anatune Application Notes:
Anatune (and our partners) regularly produce Application Notes. These cover a wide and diverse range of methods, techniques, applications, and related chromatography technology. Our Application Notes provide detailed technical information, unique applications insight and method development & validation, as well as systems configuration innovations to ensure readers can further their knowledge in an engaging way. For many years, Anatune’s Application Notes have helped and supported analytical chemists in the fields of Gas Chromatography – GC, Liquid Chromatography – LC, and Mass Spectrometry – MS achieve to develop analytical solutions. Visit our Applications Note page to search for the insight you need in the following categories: Matrix, Technique, Analyte, Instruments, Product, Industry. Or alternatively, CONTACT US for more information or to put forward an Application Note subject and our Applications Team will be happy to support you in any way they can.
