This document discusses methods for analyzing food flavor, including both chemical and instrumental techniques as well as sensory testing. It describes how solid phase extraction and solid phase microextraction are used to separate compounds from liquid mixtures. Gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography-olfactometry are instrumental methods discussed for analyzing food flavor compounds. Sensory testing techniques involve using the senses of smell, taste, sight and include preference tests, discrimination tests, and ranking tests to evaluate attributes like flavor.
