Abstract:This study analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of four different pineapple varieties (MD2, Sarawak, Josephine and Morris). Head Space-Solid Phase Micro Extraction (HS-SPME) was used to extract the VOCs of those pineapples using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Analysis of pineapples extracts identified many types of VOCS including esters, alcohols, terpenes, aldehydes, ketones, saturated hydrocarbons and phenols. Thirtyfive selected VOCs were used for varietal discrimination using chemo… Show more
