A data interpretation and processing approach for improved compound identification and data presentation in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) is described. A footprint peak of a compound in 2D space can be represented by a centroid or peak apex, similar to the data-reduced histogram spectra used in mass spectrometry. The workflow was demonstrated on data from GCxGC-TOFMS. Peaks in a modulated chromatogram were initially detected by conventional chromatographic integration, followed by a curve-fitting approach, which interpolated high-precision, absolute retention times for all modulated peaks. First dimension retention time ((1)t(R)) was obtained by using an exponentially modified Gaussian (EMG) fitting model for near-Gaussian distributed subpeaks, polynomial fitting for highly asymmetrical peaks, and parabolic fitting for under-sampled peaks, which allows determination of a precise (1)t(R), considering the dwell-time arising from modulation and (2)t(R). Area summation of the modulated peaks belonging to the same compound was then performed to yield the total peak area. Each compound in the GCxGC-MS result was then represented by its position at the intersecting coordinates, ((1)t(R), (2)t(R)), in the 2D separation plane, having a height of the same magnitude as the total component summed area. This results in a novel and uncluttered GCxGC output convention based on the scripted total ion chromatogram (TIC) data with precise (1)t(R), (2)t(R), and area. Comparison between the contour plots from the scripted and conventional TIC revealed improved data presentation, accompanied by an apparent enhanced resolution. The described approach was applied to the identification of 177 aroma compounds from peaches as indicators of fruit quality.
