    Threshold in a food is dependent upon: The threshold of the aroma in air. Concentration in the food. Solubility in oil and water. Partition coefficient between the air and the food. The pH of the food. Some aroma compounds are affected by the pH: weak organic acids are protonated at low pH making them less soluble and hence more volatile.

    An interesting feature of these phases is that both polar and nonpolar compounds can be retained over some range of mobile phase composition (organic/aqueous). The retention mechanism of polar compounds has recently been shown to be the result of the formation of a hydroxide layer on the surface of the silica hydride. [3]
