The quality control of rice as the most widely consumed staple food providing a
fifth of the world’s calories on a daily basis has an outstanding importance regarding human health and nourishment.
To test for rice quality same as its specific kind the FlavourSpec® is an ideal tool as it combines an automated sample-handling directly from the headspace, 2-dimensional separation capacity of the complex headspace composition and sensitive detection through its integrated IMS detector technology. By that a comparison of the aroma compounds in different rice samples within a few minutes is achieved. The merged power of GC separation and IMS sensitivity means that target compounds, responsible for desirable fragrance and/or off-odour, can be detected even down at the sub-ppbv range without any sample pre-treatment.
