Analysis Note

The formation of aldehydes is a major contributor to the deterioration in flavor or "staling" of beer upon storage. Research indicates that the source of these aldehydes is the type of malt used and quality of the wort produced during the brewing process. This application illustrates the use of SPME to extract aldehydes from beer, followed by on-fiber derivatization with 0-(2,3,4,5,6- pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (PFBOA). The aldehydes are then analyzed by GC/MS-SIM as their corresponding PFBOA derivatives. The aldehydes exist as geometric isomers, resulting in two derivatives for each. In the case of several of the analytes, these two derivatives were resolved chromatographically.
