“…Compared with other analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS and NMR spectroscopy), GC-MS has the advantages of low cost, good reproducibility, high resolution, and small matrix effect (Kopka, 2006). In recent years, this method has been widely used in various food control, food genomics, and nutritional metabolomic applications (Christian et al, 2008;Khakimov, Bak, & Engelsen, 2014;Khakimov et al, 2016;Murgia, Scano, Cacciabue, Dessì, & Cabonia, 2019;Zeng et al, 2019). Furthermore, metabolomic studies based on gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) have also been widely used to discover differences between samples (Hao et al, 2018;Yu et al, 2015).…”
