Comparison of Three Different Phases for Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction of Whiskey, Wine and Fruit Juice

Abstract

This paper describes a novel ethylene glycol (EG) and silicone based combined sorbent phase developed for stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) using the GERSTEL Twister™. EG-Silicone, polyacrylate (PA), and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Twisters were used separately to perform SBSE on whisky, white wine and multivitamin juice in order to determine the usefulness of these phases for generating qualitative flavor profiles of beverages.
