Volatile Organic Compound Analysis in Biomedical Diagnosis Applications

This volume presents a thought-provoking state-of-the-art picture of how volatile compounds are used in metabolomics, currently a hot topic in the metabolomics field. It provides a thorough description of what volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are, why they are important in biomedicine, and what the analytical platforms are used. It also looks at multivariate analysis and databases needs.

Because VOCs are end-up compounds of metabolic processes, volatiles can be linked to different diseases ...
