Abstract
Abstract: The quality of the fruit is affected by several main ingredients and the aroma plays a fundamental role during the selection of fruit by consumers. In the case where several fruit have similar aromas and only one of them has specific health properties, it is very important to find the differences in the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) composition to distinguish these samples. Such situations are often found for hybrid fruit. Sweetie is a hybrid of grapefruit and pummelo. Sweetie fruit is characterized by high antioxidant potential and a positive effect on human health. The aim of this study was to verify the unique volatile compositional traits of three species of citrus fruit. Proton transfer reaction Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS) was utilized to obtain the mass-resolved fingerprints of VOCs. The chemical formula of these VOC masses was tentatively identified. Principal component analysis was performed to evaluate the differences between the groups.
期刊介绍:
"Monatshefte für Chemie/Chemical Monthly" was originally conceived as an Austrian journal of chemistry. It has evolved into an international journal covering all branches of chemistry. Featuring the most recent advances in research in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic, medicinal, organic, physical, structural, and theoretical chemistry, Chemical Monthly publishes refereed original papers and a section entitled "Short Communications". Reviews, symposia in print, and issues devoted to special fields will also be considered.
