It is possible to distinguish precious vanillin from Vanilla species (planifolia or tahitensis) from much less expensive synthetic and nature-identical vanillin on the basis of the stable isotope ratios of H and C (H-2/H-1, C-13/C-12). Analysis is usually performed using GC-IRMS (Gas Chromatography - Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry) after solvent extraction of vanillin from the sample. Recently, head-space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) has been proposed as an alternative for determining C-13/C-12. The aim of this study was to develop a method to analyse H-2/H-1 in vanillin using SPME-GC-IRMS for the first time, by testing different operating conditions and comparing the results with those obtained after solvent extraction. The ultimate scope was to develop a quick, robust and effective method to measure H-2/H-1 and C-13/C-12 in vanillin to assess the authenticity of labelling. Almost 50 authentic samples from vanilla pods, nature-identical (ex) and synthetic vanillin and 4 commercial food products were taken into account. All the samples were subjected to HS-SPME-GC-IRMS analysis and most of them to GC-IRMS analysis after solvent extraction of vanillin. The SPME method developed for H-2/H-1 analysis guarantees the absence of isotopic fractionation, repeatability and reproducibility standard deviation of below 7 parts per thousand and savings in terms of time (from 30 to 5 min) and solvent. HS-SPME GC-IRMS analysis of delta H-2 and delta C-13 can be proposed as a rapid and robust method to discriminate different types of vanillin and assess the authenticity of natural vanillin, also contained in food matrices.
