01 Aug 2019 --- A new methodology for the simultaneous analysis of odorants and tastants has been developed by scientists at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, and the Leibniz-Institute for Food Systems Biology. The methodology is based on an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) method typically used for taste analysis. It could allow food chemists to guarantee consistent sensory quality through a fast and precise food analysis, with higher throughput than traditional methods.
