Three approaches based on headspace single-drop microextraction (HS-SDME), direct single-drop microextraction (Direct-SDME), and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), have been compared for analyzing volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) in beer and beverage. Procedures and performance of the three methods have been contrasted through the determination of extraction efficiencies, precision, linearity and limits of detection. The overall process of HS-SDME and HS-SPME was applied to GC-FPD determination of five VSCs in beer and beverage.
