| Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML 105) (Oryza sativa L) is well known as Thai jasmine rice. The major aroma component of KDML 105 is 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). Besides the 2AP, KDML 105 contains various volatile components which contribute aroma and flavor to the rice. Moreover, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols are also found in the rice sample. Due to the complex nature of the sample, some volatile components which co-elute with rice matrix components are not easily identified using traditional GC-MS. GCxGC-TOFMS is a new technique that increases peak capacity and enhances peak sensitivity. The research described here used GCxGC-TOFMS to identify components in the complex mixture of KDML 105 grain sample extracts. Two columns with different... |
