Non-Volatile Flavor Analysis: Applications, Challenges, Limitations


Tuesday, October 20 | Science Affairs Committee Meeting

This presentation provides a high-level overview of analytical techniques commonly used in flavor creation research, with a focus on liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) approaches for non-volatile analysis. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of common analytical chemistry terminology, LC-MS workflows, and the capabilities and limitations of non-volatile analysis through real-world examples.
