Volatile organic compound (VOC) profiling of fermented food products by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a highly sensitive, reproducible and high-throughput analytical platform for identification, and quantification of volatile organic compounds. This 2 days training workshop will familiarize you with sample preparation techniques, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, GC columns, injection modes, experiment troubleshooting, application and importance of GC-MS. You will have practical experience of GC-MS hardware modules along with headspace, method development, sample preparation for fermented food products for GC-MS analysis and finally identification of compounds.
