“…This can be explained by the high level of styrene extracted by this headspace method; the styrene saturates the headspace with this non-selective method and prevent more constituents being identified. 6 …”

Static-headspace (S-HS), headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and headspace sorptive extraction (HSSE) have been applied to the analysis of different grades of benzoin gums Siam and Sumatra. This study led to the identification of 58 compounds by GC-RI and GC-MS: 42 of them were characterized in Siam benzoin gum (grades 3 and 5) and 40 of them in Sumatra (grades B and D). SPME using divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber and HSSE are complementary in these conditions and seem to be the most suitable techniques to identify volatile compounds of benzoin gums. S-HS is less sensitive but represents a good method for the quality control of these gums. For this reason it has been applied directly coupled to mass spectrometry for a rapid differentiation between several benzoin gum qualities.

“…In our previous work, 6 headspace solid-phase microextraction using CAR/PDMS and CW/DVB fibers was used to characterize the volatile compounds present in two benzoin gums. In this paper, we extend the study comparing the performance of five fibers [PDMS, polyacrylate (PA), CAR/PDMS, CW/DVB and DVB/ CAR/PDMS] using a sample of Siam benzoin grade 5.…”

“…However, the presence of this constituent needs to be carefully considered because its high affi nity with the DVB/CAR/PDMS fi bre may lead to an overestimation, as we demonstrated in a previous study on benzoin gum. [25] Cardamom provided signifi cant amounts of a-terpinyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, sabinene and linalyl acetate in the SPME extract.

Perfumes in antiquity were products of great importance. They played an important role in seduction, feasts and ceremonies, religious rites, funerals and medicine. Antic perfumes were produced by extraction of fragrant raw materials (plants, gum resins, spices, etc.) using vegetable oil (ben, sesame, horseradish, almond, olive oil) as the main excipient. In the frame of new archaeological researches over the antic sites of Delos in Greece and Capua, Herculanum and Pompei in Italy, we sought to understand the composition of perfume in antiquity. How were antic perfumes made? Which fragrances characterized them? The Seplasia † project, led by chemists and archaeologists, has the main intention of answering these questions.

“…9,10 Sumatra benzoin gum is reported to contain more cinnamic acid and cinnamates than Siam benzoin gum. 11 We have recently presented studies of the chemical composition of Siam and Sumatra benzoin gums by the analysis of volatile extracts 12 and the use of headspace methods such as static-HS, SPME and HSSE. 13 Herein, we report our results in the use of electronic nose technology to determine the quality and olfactive features of benzoin gums according to the production origin, the grade, the harvest year and to identify potential counterfeited benzoin gums.…”

The quality control of natural raw materials is a challenging issue for the food, cosmetic, perfume and tobacco industries. The applicability of an electronic nose for the discrimination of origin, qualities and harvesting year of a natural raw material (benzoin gum) currently used by all those industries was tested. An electronic nose including 18 metal oxide sensors was used to analyse and discriminate 56 benzoin gum samples according to their origin (Siam and Sumatra), quality grade, variety (mixture of gums traded as benzoin gums) and year of harvesting. Thanks to its sensitivity, the electronic nose based on metal oxide sensors demonstrated a high ability to assess both the quality and the organoleptic features of the benzoin gum samples. Fast analysis and ease of use make this instrument a good quality control tool. A comparison with an electronic nose based on fingerprint mass spectrometry was also studied. Copyright
