Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of analysis, identification and quantification of furfurals in food. The present invention describes the chromatographic separation of compounds using direct immersion solid phase microextraction (DI-SPME) and high resolution gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS), allowing the simultaneous identification and quantification of furfurals, which are markers for food quality. Examples are included of the use of this method in analysing various food stuffs and matrices, further applications may include monitoring food or nutritional supplements, human or animal health, other biological activities and in diagnosing disease.
