Case Studies

Defeating DMTS: How Quantum Extracts Prevent Flavor Defects

Quantum Series Case Study

Publication Date: June 2025

DMTS can wreck flavor and aroma with cabbage-like notes at trace levels. This case study shows how to stop it by comparing three extracts from one Citra® lot - Quantum, steam-distilled, and CO2 - using GC×GC-TOF-MS/SCD and blind human sensory. Quantum delivered the lowest DMTS and a cleaner hop-forward profile, with clear steps to prevent sulfur spikes on the cold side. Ideal for hop water and NA programs, you’ll see how to dial in dosing and timing for measurable gains. Read the full case study for methods, chromatograms, and panel data.
