Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was investigated to understand the BTEX extraction behavior of SPME in groundwater. Analytical procedure was conducted In both conventional and headspace mode. And the conventional direct extraction method and the headspace analysis method were compared. Data obtained with direct and headspace SPME were very similar and showed successful results. In headspace analysis, the linearity was better and RSD (relative standard deviation, %) was smaller than direct extraction.

Traditional static headspace and headspace solid-phase microextraction(SPME) techniques were compared for their effectiveness in the extraction of volatile flavor compounds from the headspace of persimmon vinegar. The adsorption condition of SPME fiber for equilibrated headspace vapor was selected as $80^{\circ}C$ and 20 min. Total FID response for volatiles of persimmon vinegar was exactly higher such as total peak area $18.18{\times}10^6$ in SPMEGC technique than total peak area $1.35{\times}10^6$ in static headspace-GC. The major volatiles in persimmon vinegar were acetic acid, ethyl acetate, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, ethanol, phenethyl alcohol. From static headspace-GC technique, 3 acids, 3 aldehydes, 5 alcohols, 9 esters and 1 ketone were identified. From SPME-GC technique, total 34 compounds including 6 acids, 7 aldehydes, 6 alcohols, 9 esters, 2 hydrocarbones, 1 ketone, 3 others were detected. Also the ratio for benzaldehyde, phenethylacetate and phenethylalcohol were higher in SPME-GC.

In this study, the volatile compounds in 9 commercial fermented soybean pastes were extracted and analyzed by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively. A total of 63 volatile components, including 21 esters, 7 alcohols, 7 acids, 8 pyrazines, 5 volatile phenols, 3 ketones, 6 aldehydes, and 6 miscellaneous compounds, were identified. Esters, acids, and pyrazines were the largest groups among the quantified volatiles. About 50% of the total quantified volatile material was contributed by 5 compounds in 9 soybean paste samples; ethyl hexadecanoate, acetic acid, butanoic acid, 2/3-methyl butanoic acid, and tetramethyl-pyrazine. Three samples (CJW, SIN, and HAE) made by Aspergillus oryzae inoculation showed similar volatile patterns as shown in principal component analyses to GC-MS data sets, which showed higher levels in ethyl esters and 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol. Traditional fermented soybean pastes showed overall higher levels in pyrazines and acids contents.

Volatile flavor compounds in commercial sterilized milk were analyzed and identified by static headspace, purge-and-trap, and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) methods. About 20 volatile compounds were identified by GC/MS, and aldehydes and ketones were the most distinctive and abundant compounds. Static headspace analysis allowed the identification of only the most abundant compounds, such as acetone. Five ketones (acetone, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-heptanone, 2-nonanone), four aldehydes (2-methylbutanal, pentanal, hexanal, benzaldehyde) and dimethyl sulfide, all of which were responsible for off-flavor in milk, were found by the purge-and-trap and SPME methods. The two methods differed little in their release of these compounds, but they yielded different amounts in the extraction.

The solid phase microextrction (SPME) fiber which contains $100{\mu}m$ polydimethyl siloxane of a stationary phase was used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds contained in aqueous solution. sixteen volatile organic compounds, which were spiked in blank water and extracted by the headspace SPME techique, were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Analytical results showed that the percent of average recoveries and relative standard deviations were 97% and 4.7%, respectively. The value of detection limit was ranged from 0.01 to $0.5{\mu}g/l$. These results are more accurate than those obtained by the other methods such as purge and trap and headspace methods.

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used for the determination of 6 standard solvents (methanol, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, toluene) in food packaging materials. SPME method is a solvent-free sample preparation technique in which a fused silica fiber coated with polymeric organic liquid is introduced into the headspace above the sample. SPME method using fiber coated polydimethylisiloxane (PDMS) was compared with static headspace (SHS) method used as a reference. It was found that the optimal adsorption condition using PDMS-SPME method was 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes for the standard solvents. Detection limits, linearity, reproducibility and recovery of both SHS and PDMS-SPME methods have been determined using 6 standard solvents. Both methods were characterized by high reproducibility and good linearity. Using SHS methods, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 75.5% to 105.8% with a mean relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.3% to 4.8%. With PDMS-SPME method, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 86.7% to 108.3% with a mean RSD of 0.4% to 2.5%. The detection limits of both methods were the same for toluene, cyclohexane and methyl ethyl ketone; those of PDMS-SPME method were higher than those of SHS method for methanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate. PDMS-SPME fiber shoed excellent adsorption for non-polar solvents such as toluene, while it showed relatively low adsorption for polar solvents such as methanol.

Volatile compounds from three parts of needles, sprouts and twigs in Pinus densiflora were extracted by solid phase microextraction (SPME) and dynamic headspace analysis (DHA). separated by gas chromatography, and identified by using mass selective detecter and Kovat's retention index. The amounts of monoterpenes isolated by SPME and DHA were 66.7% and 14.3% in needles, 90.6% and 0.7% in sprouts, and 90.6% and 1.2% in twings, respectively. The amounts of sesquiterpenes detected only by SPME were 25.8% in needles, 4.4% in twings and 1.5% in sprouts. And the amounts of oxygenated terpenes isolated by SPME and DHA were 4.7% and 79.0% in sprouts, 3.7% and 70.4% in twigs, and 1.0% and 50.7% in needles, respectively. The kinds of volatile compounds isolated by SPME were similar to those by solvent extraction, but the number of compounds identified to hate a boiling point below 5$0^{\circ}C$ by UHA was larger than that of SPME.

Halonitromethanes (HNMs) are one of the most toxic groups of disinfection by-products. Recently, various studies have been fulfilled. An automated headspace-solid phase microextraction (SPME) gas chromatography/electron capture detector (GC-ECD) technique was developed for routine analysis of 9 HNMs in water samples. The optimization of the method is discussed. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) range from 90 ng/L to 260 ng/L and from 270 ng/L to 840 ng/L for 9 HNMs, respectively. Matrix effects in tap water and sea water were investigated and it was shown that the method is suitable for the analysis of trace levels of HNMs, in a wide range of waters. The method developed in the present study has the advantage of being rapid, simple and sensitive.

A Solid-phase micro extraction(SPME) was evaluated as a tool for headspace sampling of tobacco samples. Several experimental parameters (sampling temperature, pH, and type of SPME fibers) were optimized to improve sampling efficiency in two aspects ; maximum adsorption and selective adsorption of volatile organic acids onto SPME fibers. Among four types of SPME fibers such as PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane), PA(Polyacrylate), Car/PDMS (Carboxen/Polydimethylsiioxane) and PDMS/DVB(Polydimethylsiioxane/Divinylbenzene) which were investigated to determine the selectivity and adsorption efficiency. A variety of tobacco samples such as flue cured, burley and oriental were used in this study. The effect of these parameters was often dominated by the physical and chemical nature (volatility, polarity) of target compounds. This method allowed us to make important improvements in selectivity and sensitivity. The Car/PDMS fiber was shown to be the most efficient at extracting the 10 selected volatile organic acids. The parameters were optimized: $80^{\circ}C$ adsorption temperature, 30 min of adsorption time, $240^{\circ}C$ desorption temperature, 1 min of adsorption time.

Efficient method was established for analysis of sulfur-containing compounds, including dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, 3-methyl thiophene, allyl mercaptan, 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, and methional. Sulfur-containing compounds were extracted through solid phase microextraction (SPME) or static headspace extraction (SH), and quantified using gas chromatograph equipped with pulsed flame photometric detector. All sulfur compounds, except ally mercaptan, showed higher detection response when dissolved in hexane than in dichloromethane. Linear range was $10^2-10^4$. Dimethyl trisulfide showed lowest limit of detection (LOD) value of 15.2 ppt, and methional highest of 70.5 ppb. Highest extraction efficiency for sulfur-containing compounds, particularly polar and small molecular weight compounds, was observed in 75mm carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber, followed by 65mm polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene and 100mm polydimethylsiloxane. Compared to SPME, less sulfur-containing compounds could be analyzed by SH, mainly due to its low extraction efficiency, although lower amount of artifacts were formed during sample preparation.
