Volatile-Based Prediction of Sauvignon Blanc Quality Gradings with Static Headspace–Gas Chromatography–Ion Mobility Spectrometry (SHS–GC–IMS) and Interpretable Machine Learning Techniques

The analytical scope of static headspace–gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (SHS–GC–IMS) was applied to wine aroma analysis for the first time. The method parameters were first fine-tuned to achieve optimal analytical results, before the method stability was demonstrated, in terms of repeatability and reproducibility. Succinct qualitative identification of compounds was also realized, with the identification of several volatiles that...
