Volatiles are compounds that easily evaporate at normal temperatures and pressures. In the context of research, volatiles refer to gases or liquids that can be released from materials such as plants, soils, or food products. Studying volatiles can provide valuable information about the chemical composition, behavior, and potential applications of these substances. Researchers may use analytical techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify and quantify volatiles in samples. The study of volatiles has applications in various fields such as agriculture, environmental science, food science, and chemistry.
