Wiley FFNSC Library - Mass Spectra of Flavors and Fragrances of Natural and Synthetic Compounds, 3rd Edition

Description

(September 2015 - release)

by Prof Luigi Mondello

A Powerful Tool for Advanced Component Identification in Complex Mixtures

Advanced Flavor and Fragrance Component Identification in Complex Mixtures

Essential oils are mixtures consisting of monoterpene and sesquiterpene monocarbons, their oxygenated derivatives, and aliphatic oxygenated compounds. The difficulties that arise in the GC-MS peak identification of these complex samples is due to the fact that many terpenes have identical mass spectra. This is a consequence of similarities both in the initial molecule, or in the fragmentations and rearrangements after ionization. Hence, MS identification of these compounds should always be accompanied by retention time information that may support MS library search results. This innovative MS library for natural and synthetic products (essential oils, perfumes, etc.) makes the identification of unknown compounds in complex mixtures easier, faster, and more reliable. The use of chromatographic information, such as Linear Retention Index (LRI) data, can be used to filter MS results, enabling the more reliable peak assignment of components in complex mixtures.
Mass spectra, relative to standard and well-known simple matrix components, were obtained and recorded through GC-MS separation/identification. Furthermore, traditional information relative to each component (CAS number, common name, CAS name, molecular weight, compound formula, chemical class) plus linear retention index values are entered.
Flavors and Fragrances of Natural and Synthetic Compounds, 3rd edition contains >3000 mass spectra, LRI retention data, calculated kovats RI, and searchable chemical structures of compounds of interest for the flavors and fragrances industry. Prepared by Prof. Luigi Mondello under rigorous measurement conditions, the mass spectral library contains compounds central to flavor and fragrance research.

Coverage includes the most important flavors and fragrances compounds.

Applications: Industrial R&D and Quality Assurance: a high quality collection of natural and synthetic compounds for the flavors and fragrances industry critical for quality assurance, quality control, flavors and fragrance R&D, and competitive intelligence.

Contents

• Each record contains the mass spectrum, searchable structure, chemical information, and LRI retention data. Records indexed by name, molecular weight, and retention time.
• Highly controlled: Spectra and LRI's measured on a single instrument (Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010 series with both SLB-5MS and Supelcowax-10 columns) in controlled conditions using quality pure samples sourced from leading suppliers and manufacturers. (Other larger quality libraries, like NIST, are often acquired from different sources with different instruments, and the NIST retention index library is obtained from the open literature.)
• Supported Formats: Compatible with Agilent ChemStation/MassHunter/OpenLab (.L), NIST MS Search, PerkinElmer TurboMass, Thermo Xcalibur/TraceFinder/Chromeleon/Compound Discoverer, Waters MassLynx, ACD/Labs ACD/Spectrus (ND9), Bruker MS Workstation, Chromatec Analytic, Leco ChromaTOF, JEOL msFineAnalysis, Scion MS Workstation (does not include Shimadzu)
• One Disc.
• The FFNSC library is recommended for customers needing mass spectra and LRI data for flavors and fragrances acquired under highly controlled conditions.
