PG - 3081-3091 LID - 10.1021/jf405832u [doi] AB - An in-tube extraction (ITEX) method for the GC-MS analysis of volatile constituents of alcoholic beverages was developed and applied in the analysis of 46 beers from six varieties, Alt, Helles, Kolsch, Pilsener beer, Schwarzbier, and wheat beer, which are popular in Germany. The extraction performance of nine different sorbent materials was evaluated. The best overall sensitivity was achieved using Tenax TA, with method detection limits down to 0.01 mug L(-1), whereas the widest linear range was possible with PDMS, covering almost 5 orders of magnitude. This is the first application of PDMS in ITEX as a high-capacity extraction device and highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate sorbent material for the analytical task at hand. A satisfying chemometric discrimination of all analyzed beer varieties was possible, and alcohol-free beers could clearly be separated from regular beers, also.
