Gas chromatography ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) is a robust and sensitive benchtop technique commonly used for non-target screening of volatile organic compounds. It has been applied to authenticity analysis by generating characteristic "fingerprints" of food samples, well suited for chemometric data analysis. This dataset contains headspace GC-IMS spectra from 50 monofloral honey samples from three different botanical origins, 18 acacia honeys (), 19 canola honeys () and 18 honeydew honeys (forest flowers).

Detecting peaks in GC-IMS data is essential for chemical identification. Topological data analysis (TDA) has the ability to record alterations in topology throughout the entire spectrum of GC-IMS data and retain this data in diagrams known as persistence diagrams.

The quality of the Italian hazelnuts is guaranteed by Protected Designation of Origin and Protected Geographical Indication certificates. However, due to their modest availability and the high price, fraudulent producers/suppliers blend, or even substitute, Italian hazelnuts with others from different countries, having a lower price, and often a lower quality.

It is commonly used for non-target screening (NTS) of complex sample materials, such as food products. Resulting spectra are used as "fingerprints" for multivariate chemometric data analysis to extract information.

Low detection limits, high selectivity and robust operation characterize it as an ideal tool for non-target screening (NTS) approaches. Combined with multivariate data analysis, it has been successfully applied to several areas in food science, such as authenticity control and flavor profiling.

Given the wide range of applications, such as food authenticity, custom data analysis workflows are needed. As a common basis, they necessarily share many functionalities such as file input/output, preprocessing methods, exploratory or supervised analysis and visualizations.

We performed a purposive structural modification of a tetratarget small-molecule, that is contilisant, and generated a combinatorial library of 28 substituted chromen-4-ones. The compounds comprise a basic moiety which is linker-connected to the 6-position of the heterocyclic chromenone core.
