High-resolution gas chromatographic profiles of volatile organic compounds produced by microorganisms at refrigerated
Applied and Environmental Microbiology
|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
Three different strains of bacteria isolated from spoiled, uncooked chicken were grown in pure culture on Trypticase soy agar supplemented with yeast extract. The volatile organic compounds produced by each culture were concentrated on a porous polymer precolumn and analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatographic mass spectrometry. Twenty different compounds were identified. Both qualitative and quantitative differences in the chromatographic profiles from each culture were found.
