Description
Gas chromatography enables precise separation and quantification of volatile flavor compounds.
Technical
GC separates molecules based on volatility and polarity, using a temperature‑programmed oven and a carrier gas such as helium or nitrogen. Detectors like flame ionization or mass spectrometry detect compounds with parts‑per‑trillion sensitivity, allowing chefs to profile and replicate flavor profiles.
