Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT

2

Ambient Ionization – Mass Spectrometry (AI-MS) techniques like Direct Analysis in Real Time

3

(DART) offer the potential for rapid quantitative analyses of trace volatiles in food matrices, but

4

performance is generally limited by the lack of pre-concentration and extraction steps. The

5

sensitivity and selectivity of AI-MS approaches can be improved through solid-phase

6

microextraction (SPME) with appropriate thin-film geometries, e.g. solid phase mesh enhanced

7

sorption from headspace (SPMESH). This work improves the SPMESH-DART-MS approach for

8

use in food analyses, and validates the approach for trace volatile analysis for two compounds in

9

real samples (grape macerates). SPMESH units prepared with different sorbent coatings were

10

evaluated for their ability to extract a range of odor-active volatiles, with

11

polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene giving the most satisfactory results. In combination with

12

high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), detection limits for SPMESH-DART-MS under 4

13

ng/L in less than 30 s acquisition times could be achieved for some volatiles (3-isobutyl-2-

14

methoxypyrazine (IBMP), β-damascenone). A comparison of SPMESH-DART-MS and SPME-

15

GC-MS quantitation of linalool and IBMP demonstrates excellent agreement between the two

16

methods using real grape samples (r2≥0.90), although linalool measurements appeared to also

17

include isobaric interferences.

INTRODUCTION

25

Ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AI-MS) techniques like direct analysis in real time

26

(DART)-MS can improve simplicity and throughput for a wide range of routine chemical

27

analyses.1 In comparison to other popular AI approaches, e.g. desorption electrospray ionization

28

(DESI), DART is better suited for volatile or semi-volatile low molecular weight compounds (
