Porapak Q, Chromosorb 102, and Tenax GC, three porous
polymers commonly used as adsorbents in headspace analyses were
investigated. The retention times of various low-boiling compounds
relative to water were measured on the collection columns to determine
which compounds would be lost during the water removal step
employed after sampling...
Flavor profiles of canned and frozen whole kernel sweet corn were
obtained by entraining the volatile compounds on Porapak 0 traps and
by subsequent analysis on temperature-programed, 500' by 0.03" ID
capillary columns (SF-96 or Carbowax 20M). Identification was based
on GC/MS data, retention indices (I[subscript E]'s) and retention times....
Flavor problems associated with the use of cheddar cheese
whey in the formulation of ice cream and other food products were
investigated. During spray drying of whey, which transforms bulky
liquid whey into an easily transportable and storable powder,
various degrees of off-flavor development may occur depending on
the care...
