“…Previous studies have shown that delivery of volatile compounds from a matrix to the headspace on hydration is strongly dependent on the physicochemical properties (e.g., hydrophobicity, volatility, molecular size) of the molecule of interest [40,41]. Studies on coffee have shown a tentative identification of compounds by m/z with acetaldehyde, 2,3 butanedione, pyridine, methylacetate and pyrrole predicted to be assigned to m/z of 45, 87, 80, 75 and 68, respectively [42,43]. When evaluating across the calibration curves (n = 3), 68, 75 and 80 were shown to be released to the headspace quickly and 87 and 45 were shown to be released more slowly.…”
