Quantification of aroma-impact components by isotope dilution assays (IDA) was introduced in food flavor research by Schieberle and Grosch (1987), when trying to take into account losses of analytes due to isolation procedures. The labeled compounds have to be synthesized, the suitable fragments have to be chosen, and calibration has to be effected. A quantitative determination of ppb levels of 3-damascenone (Section 5,D.38) in foods, particularly in roasted coffee (powder and brew), was developed by Sen et al. (1991a). Semmelroch et al. (1995) quantified the potent odorants in roasted coffee by IDA. Hawthorne et al. (1992) directly determined caffeine concentration in coffee beverages with reproducibility of about 5 % using solid-phase microextraction combined with IDA. Blank et al. (1999) applied this combined method to potent coffee odorants and found it to be a rapid and accurate quantification method. They also concluded that the efficiency of IDA could be improved by optimizing the MS conditions.
