Methodology for qualitative and quantitative carbohydrate analysis by gas chromatography coupled to vacuum ultraviolet detection (GC-VUV) is presented.
Jonathan discusses how GC-VUV simplifies fatty acid methyl ester GC analysis through deconvolving co-eluting peaks, resolving cis- and trans-isomers, and differentiating levels of FAMEs unsaturation.
This publication from Analytica Chimica Acta discusses using GC-MS/VUV to investigate 21 different beers which represent three beer styles - India pale ales, blondes, and hefeweizens.
A method for terpene analysis by GC–VUV is described that results in significantly shorter GC run times, the deconvolution of co-eluting analytes, and clear isomer differentiation. A new quantitative approach to terpene characterization is also introduced that provides automated compositional analysis of terpenes in mixtures.
