Gas Chromatography–Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry in Food and Environmental Analysis

Abstract This chapter provides a general overview of gas chromatography (GC)–time-of-flight mass spectrometry basic features, highlighting its advantages and limitations compared to GC using conventional mass analyzers. Examples of results obtained for food and environmental contaminants, aroma and flavor components, and food authenticity assessment are described to illustrate the potential of this technique.
