It is an integrated software
approach for simultaneous processing of both retention
index (RI) and mass spectral (MS) data for rapid and
improved identification of flavor compounds. The program
can be integrated into Agilent Chemstation Software and
searches are performed using CAS numbers of candidate
compounds after library searching and corresponding
automatically generated RI values. When MS signals are
too weak to be used the software allows two RI values from
orthogonal columns (after
gc-O organoleptic evaluation) to
be cross searched in the database. This offers a very useful
additional identification procedure for flavor compounds.
The searchable database comprises > 10,000 compounds and
offers the practicing analyst full results oriented software
manipulation of RI and MS data on flavor compounds.
