The Effect of Container Materials on Production of Light Induced Off-Flavors in Milk – A Study Using SPME-GC-MS

Various plastics used as barriers to the production of off-flavors in light exposed milk were examined using HS-SPME with a new Carboxen®/PDMS coated Nitinol fiber followed by GC-MS analysis allowing detection of low MW analytes at levels <1 ng/mL.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
