CHROMtalks - Developing Miniaturized Sample Preparation Techniques Using GC for Food Analysis

Miniaturized sample preparation techniques revolutionize analytical workflows because they enable high-throughput, cost-effective, and sustainable analytical protocols. In the field of food authenticity and quality control, microextraction methods have advanced for the determination of bioactive compounds, contaminants, and authenticity markers in complex food matrices. In this talk, case studies will highlight the coupling of miniaturized strategies with advanced chromatographic systems to assess quality parameters and enable accurate profiling and ensure authenticity and food quality. The presentation will further explore multivariate data analysis as complementary tools to ensure robust quality control.
