Jasmine tea is widely loved by the public because of its unique and pleasant aroma and taste. The new scenting process is different from the traditional scenting process, because the new scenting process has a thin pile height to reduce the high temperature and prolong the scenting time. We qualified and quantified volatiles in jasmine and jasmine tea during the scenting process by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME). There were 71 and 78 effective volatiles in jasmine and jasmine tea, respectively, including 24 terpenes, 9 alcohols, 24 esters, 6 hydrocarbons, 1 ketone, 3 aldehydes, 2 nitrogen compounds, and 2 oxygen-containing compounds in jasmine; 29 terpenes, 6 alcohols, 28 esters, 8 nitrogen compounds, 1 aldehyde, and 6 other compounds in jasmine tea. The amounts of terpenes, esters, alcohols, nitrogen compounds, and hydrocarbons in jasmine and tea rose and then fell. The amount of oxygenated compounds of tea in the new scenting process first rose and then fell, while it showed a continuous upward trend during the traditional process. The amount of volatiles in jasmine and tea produced by the new scenting process were higher than that of the traditional scenting process at the same time. This study indicated that jasmine tea produced by the new scenting process had better volatile quality, which can provide proof for the new scenting process.

Abeliophyllum distichum (Oleaceae), which is the only species in the monotypic genus and is grown only on the Korean peninsula, has a high scarcity value. Its five variants (white, pink, round, blue, and ivory) have different morphological characteristics in terms of the color of petals and sepals or shape of the fruits. Despite its high value, there has been no study on variant classification except in terms of their morphological characteristics. Thus, we performed a volatile component analysis of A. distichum flowers and multivariate data analyses to reveal the relationship between fragments emitted from five variants of A. distichum flowers with their morphological characteristics. As a result, 66 volatile components of this plant were identified by headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), showing unique patterns for each set of morphological characteristics, especially the color of the petals. These results suggest that morphological characteristics of each variant are related to the volatile composition.

Volatile components fromExocarpium Citri Grandis(ECG) were, respectively, extracted by three methods, that is, steam distillation (SD), headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), and solvent extraction (SE). A total of 81 compounds were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry including 77 (SD), 56 (HS-SPME), and 48 (SE) compounds, respectively. Despite of the extraction method, terpenes (39.98~57.81%) were the main volatile components of ECG, mainly germacrene-D, limonene, 2,6,8,10,14-hexadecapentaene, 2,6,11,15-tetramethyl-, (E,E,E)-, andtrans-caryophyllene. Comparison was made among the three methods in terms of extraction profile and property. SD relatively gave an entire profile of volatile in ECG by long-time extraction; SE enabled the analysis of low volatility and high molecular weight compounds but lost some volatiles components; HS-SPME generated satisfactory extraction efficiency and gave similar results to those of SD at analytical level when consuming less sample amount, shorter extraction time, and simpler procedure. Although SD and SE were treated as traditionally preparative extractive techniques for volatiles in both small batches and large scale, HS-SPME coupled with GC/MS could be useful and appropriative for the rapid extraction and qualitative analysis of volatile components from medicinal plants at analytical level.

Hsian-tsao (Platostoma palustre Blume) is a traditional Taiwanese food. It is admired by many consumers, especially in summer, because of its aroma and taste. This study reports the analysis of the volatile components present in eight varieties of Hsian-tsao using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) coupled with gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). HS-SPME is a non-heating method, and the results show relatively true values of the samples during flavor isolation. However, it is a kind of headspace analysis that has the disadvantage of a lower detection ability to relatively higher molecular weight compounds; also, the data are not quantitative, but instead are used for comparison. The SDE method uses distillation 2 h for flavor isolation; therefore, it quantitatively identifies more volatile compounds in the samples while the samples withstand heating. Both methods were used in this study to investigate information about the samples. The results showed that Nongshi No. 1 had the highest total quantity of volatile components using HS-SPME, whereas SDE indicated that Taoyuan Mesona 1301 (TYM1301) had the highest volatile concentration. Using the two extraction methods, 120 volatile components were identified. Fifty-six volatile components were identified using HS-SPME, and the main volatile compounds were α-pinene, β-pinene, and limonene. A total of 108 volatile components were identified using SDE, and the main volatile compounds were α-bisabolol, β-caryophyllene, and caryophyllene oxide. Compared with SDE, HS-SPME sampling extracted a significantly higher amount of monoterpenes and had a poorer detection of less volatile compounds, such as sesquiterpenes, terpene alcohols, and terpene oxide.

We report for the first time the chemical composition of volatile components (VOCs) of two subspecies, D. hirsuta subsp. hirsuta and D. hirsuta subsp. nepalensis, of the liverwort Dumortiera hirsuta from Panama by using headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to assess distinguishing markers between the two species. Forty VOCs were identified in total for both subspecies. Of these, 34 are reported for the first time in D. hirsuta. Furthermore, both subspecies showed clear differences in the type and amount of VOCs. The major compounds in D. hirsuta subsp. hirsuta were α-gurjunene, β-selinene, α-guaiene, α-humulene and β-caryophyllene; while in D. hirsuta subsp. nepalensis were ledene, α-gurjunene, β-caryophyllene and α-guaiene, respectively. Two oxygenated sesquiterpenes, globulol and nerolidol, could be considered as possible distinguishing chemical markers between these two subspecies. We conclude that both morphotypes of D. hirsuta are chemically different.

A method based on solid phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography mass spectrometry was developed for volatile profiling fermented perilla leaves jiaosu (PFJ) during fermentation. Five fibers were firstly evaluated by the total peak areas and the number of volatile compounds. Secondly, a Plackett-Burman design was applied to screen for seven independent variables selected in literature. Three significant variables (extraction time, extraction temperature and equilibrium time) were therefore selected for the following optimization studies. A Box-Behnken design combined with a steepest ascent was then used to optimize the significant factors. Under optimal conditions, the changes of volatile profiles of PFJ at 7, 14, 21, 28, 91 and 140 d were analyzed. A total of fifty-one volatile compounds were identified, and alcohols (68.12–78.94%) were the main volatile components in PFJ, followed by methoxy-phenolic compounds (4.67–5.48%). Perilla alcohol and trans-Shisool were the major constituents during spontaneous fermentation, which accounted for 16.14–30.66% and 19.95–24.52%, respectively. The results showed that PFJ fermented into a health probiotic product with characteristic flavour and functional volatile compounds.

AbstractVolatiles are important flavor compounds of fruit juices and beverages. In this study, a headspace Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to analyze the volatile components in starfruit juices. Several experimental parameters (e.g. adsorption temperature, adsorption time, and sample volume) were optimized to improve sampling efficiency in two aspects; maximum adsorption and selective adsorption of volatile components onto SPME fiber. The following conditions were found to be optimal for selectivity and sensitivity: adsorption temperature of 50°C for 30 min, with a 65 μm divinylbenzene /polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/PDMS)-coated fiber with a sample volume of 15 g in a 30-ml vial. The proposed technique could be applied for the analysis of volatile compounds that contribute to starfruit juices flavor in different cultivars, and also their ripening stages.

We report for the first time the chemical profiling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of gametophyte and sporophyte life stages of Leiosporoceros dussii, from Panama by using headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to assess distinguishing chemical markers between the male and female gametophytes, and sporophytes of this hornwort. A total of 27 VOCs were identified in L. dussii. Furthermore, the gametophyte and sporophyte showed clear differences in the type and amount of VOCs. The main constituents of L. dussii female thalli were menthacamphor (17.8%), hexanol (12.3%), and menthyl acetate (12.3%), while the major compounds of the male thalli were hexanol (25.3%), β-ionone (21.1%), benzeneacetaldehyde (17.6%), and β-cyclocitral (14.0%). The main VOCs of the sporophytes were hexanal (19.3%), β-cyclocitral (17.6%), 2-nonenal (15.8%), hexanol (12.5%), and β-ionone (10.2%). Unique compounds found in the female thalli were 3-pentanone, 3-octenol, nonanol, estragole, and menthyl acetate, and in the male thalli were methyl heptenone, nonanal, neoisomenthol, and bornyl acetate. Isomenthol, thymol, isomenthol acetate, and β-methylnaphthalene were only found in the sporophyte. The characteristic VOCs identified in L. dussii suggest a difference between the chemical constituents of L. dussii and other hornworts species. The presence of simple VOCs when compared with compounds previously characterized in another hornwort genera may support the distinct genetic nature of this species.
