As an organic substance, n-propanol gas has been paid attention to in environmental monitoring and exhalation of lung cancer patient. In this paper a rapid detection method for n-propanol gas is developed based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) and terahertz (THz) metasurface sensors. We first prepared a MIP suitable for detecting the n-propanol gas. And then the n-propanol MIP was modified to the THz metasurface sensor for detecting the n-propanol gas. Since the MIP adsorbed with n-propanol changes the dielectric environment of the sensor, the resonance frequency of the sensor also change. So we based on the n-propanol concentration was analyzed according to the change in resonance frequency. The experimental results showed that the sensor can effectively detect the n-propanol concentration in the range of 50-500 ppm (parts per million). In addition, we also verified the specificity and repeatability of the sensor. This work provides a new idea and method for the sensitive and specific detection of n-propanol gas.

We aimed to evaluate the volatile compounds profile in traditional airag samples collected from two regions, including Bulgan and Uvurkhangai provinces, whereas famous airag-making areas in Mongolia. The volatile compounds of airag were investigated by the GC-MS method. A total of 95 kinds of volatile compounds were detected, and these were classified into 6 different classes: 14 acids, 14 alcohols, 16 aldehydes, 19 esters, 9 ketones, and 23 aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been applied to the analysis of arsenic forms in water, plants, and other samples; however, it has not been used to determine the form of arsenic in soil due to the complex soil matrix. The purpose of this study was to develop an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of inorganic arsenic species (As (III) and As (V)) and monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) in soil using GC-MS. The arsenic compounds were subjected to derivatization with 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol (BAL) and subsequently analyzed using GC-MS.

The interaction among flavor compounds is a crucial determinant of Baijiu's flavor. Yet, the interaction between glycerol, a prominent polyol in Baijiu, and volatile flavor compounds remains elusive. The effect of glycerol concentration on the volatility of 13 Baijiu flavor compounds was analyzed by GC-IMS and GC-MS.
