Characterization of semi-volatile compounds in 56 Italian ciders using GC×GC-TOF-MS and multivariate analysis.

ABSTRACT: Fifty-six samples of differently produced commercial Italian ciders were analysed for semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) profiling, using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOF-MS) technique for the very first time. To properly support the compositional investigation of this emerging beverage, a chemometric approach through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed. This revealed a sample distribution in agreement with results of the sensory tasting panel performed on such ciders, highlighting an excellent correlation between variables and perceived odorants. In particular, the positions of peculiar and anomalous objects in the Principal Components (PCs) space are explicitly evaluated, exploring the associated loadings (i.e., the
