Volatile compounds emitted by elderflowers ( Sambucus nigra L.) at various stages (blooming on the bush, and at different stages after harvesting) were analyzed to investigate changes in the composition of volatile profiles induced by two drying procedures. Solid-phase microextraction and simultaneous distillation-solvent extraction were used for concentration of volatiles. Analyses of extracts were performed using gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer or a flame ionization detector. On-site field sampling of volatiles followed-up by chromatographic analysis provided interesting information, including insect pheromones from 55 % to 79 % of the total peak area in the GC/MS chromatograms. Composition of aroma compounds of harvested elderflowers was strongly influenced by the type of drying procedure, where the content of some volatiles decreased and some substances even occur due to ongoing physicochemical processes. Changes in volatile profile caused by harvesting were also observed.

Abstract This research provides an accurate description of the origin for fruit spirits. In total, 63 samples of various kinds of fruit spirits (especially from apples, pears, plums, apricots and mirabelle) were analysed using headspace-solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography with flame-ionization detector. Obtained volatile profiles were treated and analysed by multivariate regression with a reduction of dimensionality-orthogonal projections to latent structure for the classification of fruit spirits according to their fruit of origin. Basic result of statistical analysis was the differentiation of spirits to groups with respect to fruit kind. Tested kinds of fruit spirits were strictly separated from each other. The selection was achieved with a specificity of 1.000 and a sensitivity of 1.000 for each kind of spirit. The statistical model was verified by an external validation. Hierarchical cluster analysis (calculation of distances by Ward’s method) showed a similarity of volatile profiles of pome fruit spirits (apple and pear brandies) and stone fruit spirits (especially mirabelle and plum brandies).

The Impact

Volatile profile of spirits is the most important factor, because it can contribute to pleasant flavor. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of dessert apple cultivar used for fermentation on the concentration of volatile compounds in apple spirits. SPME-GC-MS (solid-phase microextraction- gas chromatography- mass spectrometry) method enables the detection of 69 substances and GC-FID (gas chromatography - flame ionization detector) 31 compounds. Characteristic volatiles for brandies obtained from Topaz were limonene, myrcene, methyl valerate and 1,1-diethoxy-propane, from Rubin—β-citronellol and isopropyl acetate, Elise—limonene, myrcene benzyl acetate and isopropyl acetate, Szampion—β-citronellol, Idared—1,1-diethoxy-propane and Jonagored—ethyl trans-4-decanoate. Of the ten analyzed apple spirits, those obtained from Topaz, Rubin and Elise cultivars demonstrated the most diverse profile of volatile compounds. Moreover, their oenological parameters that are the most important in the production of alcoholic beverages were the most favorable. On the other hand, the content of sugars was relatively low in Elise must, while it was highest in Topaz must, which later on translated into differences in alcohol content. Brandies obtained from Gloster contained the smallest concentrations of esters and terpenes. Results of the sensory analysis showed that highest rated brandies were obtained from Topaz, Rubin, Elise and Florina.

The changes in volatile-aroma of Penicillium expansium and Botrytis cinerea fungi and apple fruit inoculated with these fungi were studied using GC-MS. A specially designed chamber with raised end glass tubes with access ports fitted with Teflon-lined septa was used to determine the volatile profile for fungi on agar. Inoculated fruit were placed in glass flow-through chambers similarly fitted with sampling ports. Volatile collection from fruits or fungi was accomplished using solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) device (Supelco, Inc.). In fungi-inoculated fruits, volatiles not produced by uninfected fruit included formic acid, 2-cyano acetamide; 1-hydroxy-2-propanone, and 1-1-diethoxy-2-propanone, which were initially detected 6 hr after inoculation. These new volatiles are suggested to be synthesized specifically by the action of fungi on fruits as they were not detected from fungi that were grown on agar or bruised fruits. In general, esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and hydrocarbons other than α-farnesene declined in fungi infected fruits.

GC-MS analyses of the volatile constituents obtained by solid phase microextraction (SPME) of two Gynura species, i.e. G. divaricata and G. bicolor, collected from Nanjing and Nanping areas in the east of China, enabled the identification of more than 50 different components. Generally, a higher contents of sesquiterpene compounds such as β-caryophyllene, α-caryophyllene and α-copaene were found in G. bicolor than in G. divaricata, regardless of their origin. Qualitatively, the detected major volatiles of G. bicolor and G. divaricata originating from Nanjing were the same, i.e. β-caryophyllene, α-caryophyllene, α-copaene, α-pinene and β-pinene. The volatile profile of a third species, G. medica, also originating from Nanjing was different with sesquiterpenes γ-cadinene, β-caryophyllene, elixene and monoterpene limonene as the major components. The volatile profiles of G. bicolor and G. divaricata originating from Nanping were more diverse. For both species β-caryophyllene, α-copaene and limonene were the major volatiles, but G. bicolor also produced α-caryophyllene and carvone as major constituents, whereas for G. divariata o-cymene was detected. Overall, these results indicate that the biosynthesis of volatiles by Gynura species is not only species related, but is also possibly influenced by the local environmental conditions of growth.

Volatiles from Russet Burbank potatoes inoculated with Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica, Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora infestans, or Fusarium sambucinum were monitored by sampling the head space 3, 4, and 5 days after inoculation, using a solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber to trap and gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) to fingerprint volatiles. Noninoculated (NON) potatoes served as the control. Volatile fingerprints varied among diseases. Within a disease, the fingerprints varied with time since inoculation and among blocks. In general, more volatiles were observed on the fourth and fifth day after inoculation than on the third day. The amount of volatile compounds produced (peak area) within a disease group increased with incubation time; however, the variation among blocks was much higher. The amount of volatiles produced, in general, was associated with disease severity. Disease-specific volatiles were observed. The F. sambucinum chromatogram had two unique peaks at retention time (RT) = 14.1 and 17.3 min. P. infestans produced few peaks and the profile was quite similar to NON. In contrast, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica, and Pythium ultimum produced many peaks, and the P. ultimum was different from the bacteria, in that the chromatogram peaks at RT = 4.04 and 8.76 min were absent. Instead, it produced a distinct peak at RT = 1.71 min. E. carotovora subsp. carotovora and E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica couldn't be discriminated based on unique peaks; however, they varied in concentration of volatiles produced. E. carotovora subsp. carotovora produced more of RT = 2.0 min and less of RT = 2.3 and 2.44 min than E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica. A back-propagation network (using neural networks) was developed to classify volatile profiles into six disease-groups. Cross-validation classification probabilities were NON = 71, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora = 71, E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica = 71, P. ultimum = 67, Phytophthora infestans = 46, and F. sambucinum = 75%.

A total of fourteen different commercial brands of black teas including Orthodox (OTD) teas and Crush Tear Curl (CTC) teas were collected at different markets with origin from 07 countries, and their volatile flavour compounds (VFC) were compared by analyses, using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction coupled with gas chromatograph mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). Among the 60 volatiles identified, terpenes (10.28%-59.88% PAR), ketones (1.85%-22.02% PAR) and esters (3.13%-418% PAR) represented the most abundant compounds. The result showed that the number of volatile compounds detected in the aromas of CTC teas were lower than in orthodox tea. Furthermore, the low contents of aldehydes and alcohols in the volatile profile of CTC tea in comparison with OTD tea, while the content of esters in the CTC teas is higher than those of OTD teas were found.  Both teas, Orthodox tea and CTC tea, could be classified base on volatile profiles analysis by carrying out principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis.  The data presented in this studied also suggest that, for geographical origin of teas, Terpene Index can be used as a means of discrimination.

Timely diagnosis is crucial to improve the long-term survival of bladder cancer (BC) patients. The discovery of new BC biomarkers based in urine analysis is very attractive because this biofluid is in direct contact with the inner bladder layer, in which most of the neoplasms develop, and is non-invasively collected. Hence, this work aimed to unveil alterations in the urinary volatile profile of patients diagnosed with BC compared with cancer-free individuals, as well as differences among patients diagnosed at different tumor stages, to identify candidate biomarkers for non-invasive BC diagnosis and staging. Urine analysis was performed by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). The results unveiled that BC patients have a distinct urinary volatile profile characterized by higher levels of several alkanes and aromatic compounds, and lower levels of aldehydes, ketones and monoterpenes. Seventeen significantly altered volatiles were used to evaluate the performance for overall BC detection, disclosing 70% sensitivity, 89% specificity and 80% accuracy. Moreover, distinct urinary volatile profiles were found among patients diagnosed at different tumor stages (Ta/Tis, T1 and ≥T2). This work identified distinct urinary volatile signatures of BC patients with potential for non-invasive detection and staging of bladder cancer.

Olives are characterized by a wide variety of volatile compounds, which are primarily products of microbial metabolism that contribute to the organoleptic characteristics of the final product and especially to its flavor. The volatilome in Spanish-style processed green olives of Conservolea and Halkidiki cultivars were analytically characterized. A solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) technique was used for the extraction of volatile components from the olive samples that were further identified and quantified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Eighty-eight (88) compounds were identified, including several aldehydes, ketones, acids, terpenes, but mainly esters and alcohols. Results showed that there were no significant differences in the qualitative composition of the volatile profiles between the two varieties. Acetic and propanoic acids, thymol, ethanol, 2-butanol, 1-propanol, ethyl acetate as well as ethyl propanoate were the most dominant compounds found in both cultivars. However, some quantitative differences were spotted between the two varieties regarding some of the identified volatile compounds. The quantity of 2-butanol was higher in the Halkidiki variety, while propanoic acid ethyl ester was found in higher amounts in the Conservolea variety. Furthermore, differences in the quantities of some volatile compounds over time were observed. Most of the identified compounds presented an increasing trend during storage.
