Breath analysis is a young field of research with its roots in antiquity. Antoine Lavoisier
discovered carbon dioxide in exhaled breath during the period 1777–1783, Wilhelm (Vilém) …

This Review presents a concise, but not exhaustive, didactic overview of some of the main
concepts and approaches related to “volatolomics”—an emerging frontier for fast, risk‐free …

Abstract Rapid, non-destructive, accurate, and high-throughput screening of volatile
ingredients plays an important role in the field of analysis. Gas chromatography–ion mobility …

Human breath, along with urine and blood, has long been one of the three major biological
media for assessing human health and environmental exposure. In fact, the detection of …

Sampling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has shown promise for detection of a range
of diseases but results have proved hard to replicate due to a lack of standardization. In this …

Breath research has almost invariably focussed on the identification of endogenous volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) as disease biomarkers. After five decades, a very limited …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) offer unique insights into ongoing biochemical
processes in healthy and diseased humans. Yet, their diagnostic use is hampered by the …

Despite growing interest and considerable progress in breath research over the last decade,
standardized practices for the sampling and analysis of breath gas volatiles remain elusive …

A major challenge for breath research is the lack of standardization in sampling and
analysis. To address this, a test that utilizes a standardized intervention and a defined study …

Abstract The Peppermint Initiative seeks to inform the standardisation of breath analysis
methods. Five Peppermint Experiments with gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry …
