Both one-dimensional and two-dimensional gas chromatography were used, and coupled with low and high-resolution, accurate mass time of flight mass spectrometry. The spectrum of components present in the different products was examined to see if a commonality of constituents could be identified which might lead to a typical fynbos aroma profile.en© 2016 South African Chemical InstituteFynbosAromacompoundsComprehensive gas chromatographyTime of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS)High-resolution accurate massArticle
