Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry applied to the analysis of volatiles in artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) leaves

- The first use of GCxGC/qMS for the characterization of volatile compounds of artichoke leaves.
- A total of 130 compounds were tentatively identified in the studied sample, 109 of which are reported for the first time in Cynara scolymus L.
- Artichoke leaves are a potential source of volatile bioactive compounds.
