Abstract:
Thirteen flavor compound samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with total ion current (TIC) mode and selected ion mode (SIM), and quantified with peak area normalization and internal standard calibration curves.The repeatability, internal standard calibration curves and the quantitative results obtained with these curves were compared, the results showed that:1) with internal calibration curves, all of the CV (coefficient of variance) of the 13 compounds were not more than 1% and the correlation coefficients (
r) of calibration curves for most compounds were above 0.999 by GC and GC-MS-SIM, the excellent repeatability and reproducibility proved that they were suitable for accurate quantitative analysis;2) the CV and r of calibration curve obtained by GC/MS-TIC were around the average;3) the values determined with peak area normalization deviated relatively far from the real ones for all three analysis methods, especially the two GC/MS modes.
