Description

Method for collecting and analyzing volatile organic compounds from yeast-inoculated synthetic nectar using headspace sampling with scent traps and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identification.

Typical Equipment

  • 22 mL vials
  • PTFE septum
  • Carboxen (40-60 mesh)
  • Tenax TA (60-80 mesh)
  • micro air sampler Supelco PAS-500
  • GC-MS
  • Markes autoloading system

Output Measurements

  • volatile compound identity
  • peak area
  • mass spectra
