Comparación entre métodos de extracción para la obtención de volátiles a partir de pulpa de lulo (Solanum quitoense)

Abstract

Simultaneous Distillation-Solvent Extraction (SDE) and Headspace Solid Phase Micro-extraction (HS-SPME), coupled to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), for the recovery of volatiles from lulo pulp ( Solanum quitoense ) were compared. A completely randomized SDE/GC-MS design was applied to establish differences between the areas obtained with different solvents, whereas a two-way HS-SPME/GC-MS indicated the most appropriate extraction conditions of volatiles, having the type of fiber and the adsorption temperature as factors. SDE/GC-MS mainly promoted the extraction of hydrocarbons, aldehydes, and esters; whereas esters and aldehydes had higher areas using HS-SPME/GC-MS. Furthermore, the variance analysis showed a significant interaction among the type of fiber, the adsorption temperature, and the functional groups
