“…Automatic thermal desorption (ATD) is a new prominent enrichment method, which has the advantages of convenient operation, a high enrichment rate, good reproducibility and no use of organic solvents. The combination of ATD to GC-MS has been used in air monitoring [20], analysis of pesticides in the atmosphere [21], material and emission analysis [22], food and aroma analysis [23] etcetera. The main advantage of applying ATD to the detection of jasmine aroma is the content of VOC enrichment could be much higher than that found by solid-phase microextraction (SPME).The purpose of this study is to compare aroma characteristics within different jasmine tea grade samples through distinct techniques.…”

Chinese jasmine tea is a type of flower-scented tea, which is produced by mixing green tea with the Jasminum sambac flower repeatedly. Both the total amount and composition of volatiles absorbed from the Jasminum sambac flower are mostly responsible for its sensory quality grade. This study aims to compare volatile organic compound (VOC) differences in authoritative jasmine tea grade samples. Automatic thermal desorption-gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (ATD-GC-MS) and electronic nose (E-nose), followed by multivariate data analysis is conducted. Consequently, specific VOCs with a positive or negative correlation to the grades are screened out. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) show a satisfactory discriminant effect on rank. It is intriguing to find that the E-nose is good at distinguishing the grade difference caused by VOC concentrations but is deficient in identifying essential aromas that attribute to the unique characteristics of excellent grade jasmine tea.

“…In addition to outdoor pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) also contribute to indoor air pollution. On-site outdoor gas monitoring is crucial for mapping pollution at different scales [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. However, there is a rich diversity of air pollutants, especially regarding the numerous gaseous pollutant species of interest, which require the use of as many different kinds of sensors, resulting in sophisticated, bulky and expensive measurement systems.…”

Gas sensors that can measure multiple pollutants simultaneously are highly desirable for on-site air pollution monitoring at various scales, both indoor and outdoor. Herein, we introduce a low-cost multi-parameter gas analyzer capable of monitoring multiple gaseous pollutants simultaneously, thus allowing for true analytical measurement. It is a spectral sensor consisting of a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) gas analyzer based on a mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometer. The sensor is as small as 7 × 5 × 2.5 cm3. It was deployed in an open-path configuration within a district-scale climatic chamber (Sense City, Marne-la-Vallée, France) with a volume of 20 × 20 × 8 m3. The setup included a transmitter and a receiver separated by 38 m to enable representative measurements of the entire district domain. We used a car inside the climatic chamber, turning the engine on and off to create time sequences of a pollution source. The results showed that carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) were accurately monitored using the spectral sensor, with agreement with the reference analyzers used to record the pollution levels near the car exhaust. Furthermore, the lower detection limits of CO, NO2 and NO were assessed, demonstrating the capability of the sensor to detect these pollutants. Additionally, a preliminary evaluation of the potential of the spectral sensor to screen multiple volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was conducted at the laboratory scale. Overall, the results demonstrated the potential of the proposed multi-parameter spectral gas sensor in on-site gaseous pollution monitoring.
