Written from a practical, problem-solving perspective, this second edition examines stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE)and emphasizes the range of applications available. Topics discussed include analyzing and combating off-flavors caused by metabolites from microorganisms and the identification of the characterizing aroma-active compounds of tropical fruits with high economic potential. The book also examines the parameters utilized during the production of aqueous formulations rich in pyrazines and describes how spectral deconvolution can be used to speciate the subtle differences in essential oil content and track key ingredients through the manufacturing process.
