Comparative Analysis of Volatile Compounds between Jackfruit (<i>Artocarpus heterophyllus L.</i>) Peel and its Pulp

Abstract

In the study, the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used for identifying and analysising the volatile compounds of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) fresh peel (FE) and fresh pulp (FU). The result showed that it was apparent differences of the species and quantities of volatile compounds between peel and pulp. 2,3-Butanediol, Butyrolactone, 1-Methoxy-2-propyl acetate, Butanoic acid, 3-methyl-, butyl ester, n-Amyl isovalerate, n-Hexadecanoic acid were found in peel and pulp. While compounds, such as Geranylgeraniol, Lanosterol, Pentanoic acid, 3-phenylpropyl ester, Phthalic acid, butyl 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl ester, Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, were only present in the peel. But in the pulp, compounds, like Dibutyl phthalate Phenol, 2,4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl)- henols were confirmed, which did not be found in the peel. The experimental result also indicated that SPME-GCMS is a simple, rapid, reliable and effective method to analyze the volatile fraction in jackfruit. It may have as profound an impact on analysising the volatile compounds of jackfruit.

Contribution of glycosidically bound compounds to aroma potential of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus lam)

“…The fruits were kept at room temperature (28 ± 3°C, 70%–75% RH) for 5–6 days until ripe. Fruits were washed, carefully cut, seeds removed from the bulbs, and the jackfruit pulp was transferred to gas‐impermeable polyethylene bags (water vapor permeability ≤1.0 E‐13 g/Pa·s·m 2 ), sealed with vacuum, and frozen at −20°C until analysis. Six fruits were used for the study 25 …”

“…is a tropical fruit from the Moraceae family and is originally from India. Currently, it is cultivated in Asia, Africa, and some countries of America such as Brazil 1,2 and Mexico 3 . Jackfruit is one of the largest fruits cultivated 4 and contains an abundant volume of yellow pulp; furthermore, it has brownish seeds with oblate form and is considered a rich source of carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals 5 .…”

Osmotic dehydration as a pre-treatment for jackfruit berries (Artocarpus heterophyllus): effect on physico-chemical properties, shelf life and sensory acceptability

“…In addition, other studies have reported that jackfruit contains flavonoids (catechin, rutin and myricetin), phenolic acids (gallic acid, ferulic acid and tannic acid), phytosterols (betasitosterol, lanosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol), essential fatty acids (linoleic acid and linolenic acid) and essential amino acids (valine, leucine and lysine), which makes it an excellent fruit for consumers (Sharma et al, 2015;Peng et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2015;Shafiq et al, 2017).…”
