<p>Seven animal species, plus human, were investigated. Some VOCs had high species specificity, demonstrating that all tested muscle tissue samples could be distinguished based on different VOCs. HS-GC-IMS proved to be a rapid, high-throughput, high-sensitivity and specific species identification method. The authors propose that the technique could also be applied to food authenticity testing to verify meat species.</p>
