Abstract:
A single-factor gradual optimization method was developed in this experiment in order to improve the headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) effect of volatile compounds in pepper chicken soup. The different extraction conditions included fibers with different coating materials, sample volume, extraction temperature, and extraction time. The total peak areas and the numbers of valid peaks were compared and analyzed as the indicators of condition optimization. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results showed that the four factors all have significant impact on the extraction effect of volatiles in pepper chicken soup. Using the principal component analysis (PCA), the optimal conditions of HS-SPME were inferred below: an extraction fiber of 50/30μm DVB/CAR/PDMS, a sample volume of 7 g, an extraction temperature of 65°C, and an extraction time of 30 min. Compared to the original extraction conditions, the optimized conditions were especially advantageous for the comprehensive analysis of volatiles, which could be potentially used in further study of soup.
