The work aims to analyze the five packaging printing by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the principal odor components. The determination method was established by investigating the effect of different types of extraction head, equilibrium time, extraction time and extraction temperature on the quantity and content of volatile/semi volatile components. To identify the detected compounds, deconvolution, matching and retention index method were utilized. The content of odor components was analyzed by peak area normalization method and internal standard method. Combined with the odor threshold of compounds, the principal odor components were screened. The optimal extraction efficiency was achieved under the following conditions, 50/30 μm divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane SPME fiber, equilibrium for 30 min, extraction for 30 min at 80 °C and desorption for 10 min. Under the above conditions, 43 compounds of five packaging printing were identified as principal odor components. These compounds included aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocycles, esters, ethers, amines. This method provides technical support for odor analysis, odor warning, new product development and differential changes after technological improvement in packaging printing products.
