The objective of the study was to investigate the off-flavor generated from PET water bottles and their caps by using a mass spectrometry-based electronic nose. The ion fragment data obtained from the electronic nose were used for discriminant function analysis (DFA). In the case of increased concentrations of the contamination of water, the off-flavor pattern depended on the discriminant function second score instead of the discriminant function first score. To identify the cause of off-flavor in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottled water, the PET bottle and its cap were analyzed by DFA. The results showed that the cap generated more volatile compounds than the bottle or mineral water did. The substances causing the off-flavor were predicted to be 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP), nonanal, and decanal when the main peak of the mass spectrum was compared with the major ion fragments of the electronic nose. Thus, using this method, we could determine whether the PET water bottle was contaminated and whether the off-flavor resulted from contamination of the bottle cap.
