Volatile components in cape gooseberry fruit at ripe stage were collected using headspace-solid phase microextraction, and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Three solid phase microextraction fiber coatings (DVB/CAR/PDMS, CAR/PDMS, and PDMS/DVB) were tested for evaluation of volatile compounds. DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber showed a strong extraction capacity for volatile compounds and prod...

Different methods of sample preparation followed by extractions with phydroxymercuribenzoate (pHMB) were used to investigate the occurrence of thiol compounds in ripened cheeses. The analysis of cheese extracts by GC coupled with PFPD, MS and olfactometry detections enabled the identification of ethyl 2mercaptopropionate (ET2MP) and ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate (ET3MP) in Munster and Camembert ch...

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NJN-6 produces volatile compounds (VOCs) that inhibit the growth and spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense. Among the total of 36 volatile compounds detected, 11 compounds completely inhibited fungal growth. The antifungal activity of these compounds suggested that VOCs can play important roles over short and long distances in the suppression of Fusar...
