Abstract:		"In the present feasibility study, SPME Arrow-GC-MS method coupled with chemometric techniques, was used for investigating the impact of two different storage conditions, namely freezing and refrigeration, on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of different commercial breads. The SPME Arrow technology was used as it is a novel extraction technique, able to address issues arising with traditional SPME fibers. Furthermore, the raw chromatographic signals were analysed by means of a PARAFAC2-based deconvolution and identification system (PARADISe approach). The use of PARADISe approach allowed for an efficient and rapid putative identification of 38 volatile organic compounds, including alcohols, esters, carboxylic acids, ketones, and aldehydes. Additionally, Principal Component Analysis, applied on the areas of the resolved compounds, was used to investigate the effects of storage conditions on the aroma profile of bread. The results revealed that the VOC profile of fresh bread is more similar to the one of bread stored in the fridge. Furthermore, there was a clear loss of aroma intensity in frozen samples, which could be explained by phenomena related to different starch retrogradation that occurs during freezing and refrigeration. However, considering the limited number of investigated samples, this study must be considered as a proof of concept; a more statistically representative sampling and further examinations of other properties, such as bread texture, need to be performed to better understand whether samples destined for eventual analysis should be frozen or refrigerated"
