Abstract:

Mass spectrometric non-target screening (NTS) is a powerful analytical strategy applied among others in environmental analysis metabolomics and foodomics. It is well suitable for the analysis of complex sample sets and can be used to compare, evaluate and assess samples. For the analysis of coffee, NTS provides new insights into the chemical composition of coffee samples, formation and degradation of compounds during fermentation processes and helps to find marker compounds, specific for certain processes and qualities.
