Introduction
A simple, rapid and low cost method for enrichment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from exhaled breath (EB) is presented.Methods
A 1000 mL home-made extraction device was filled with EB. The VOCs were extracted and condensed in 0.5 mL acetone. Recognition of volatiles in the real studied EB samples was performed by a GC-MS.Results
The method displays an extraction efficiency of >86% with the enrichment factor of 1929 for octanal. Limits of detection and quantification, and linear dynamic range were 0.008, 0.026 and 0.026-400 ng/mL respectively. Analysis of real samples showed the existence of more than 100 compounds in EB of healthy volunteers and patients with lung cancer before and after treatment. Exhaled octanal concentration was significantly higher in lung cancer patient than in healthy volunteers and lung cancer patient after treatment.Conclusion
Having used the proposed approach, high extraction recovery (up to 86%) was attained for the lung cancer marker, octanal, as an important biomarker. Our findings on smaples of EB of healthy controls and patients with lung cancer before and after treatment provide complelling evidence upon the effectiveness of the developed method. Keywords:
