Integrated Analysis of Aromatic Components and Metabolites in Beer Samples Using GC-MS Smart Databases

User Benefits

- The aromatic components and metabolites in samples can be analyzed comprehensively using each Smart Database. - Integrated analysis can be performed using the SIMCA^® 17 multivariate analysis program (INFOCOM CORPORATION), which is capable of processing multiple datasets from the same samples obtained by different analyses.

Introduction

Evaluating the flavor of foods is essential for quality control and product development, and can be carried out in a variety of Model Table 1 Analysis Conditions with Smart Aroma Database : GCMS-QPTM2020 NX Autosampler ways. One example is the comprehensive analysis of aromas Column and metabolites in food products. The results obtained can be used in combination as indicators of flavor and functionality. Shimadzu provides various preconfigured databases to assist users in smoothly initiating GC-MS(/MS) analysis. In this article, aromatic components and metabolites in commercially available beers and test beers under development were comprehensively analyzed using Smart Aroma Database and Smart Metabolites Database. The characteristics of each of the samples were visualized by processing the data using multivariate analysis. Furthermore, in order to investigate the correlation between aromatic components and metabolites, an integrated analysis of these two datasets was also performed.
