Analysis of Trichloroanisole in Wine Using Headspace-GC/MS

Introduction

There are instances of wine being polluted and spoiled as a result of trichloroanisole, which exists in cork plugs. Because it has a low odor threshold, monitoring requires highly sensitive analysis. Conventional analysis methods include the purge & trap method and thermal desorption method, which have a high degree of enrichment (Application News M172, etc). The features of headspace methods are easy operation and low contamination. This Application News introduces the results of the analysis of trichloronisole in wine using headspace-GC/MS.
