“…Specific examples were the compounds that also showed a general increase in amounts between the CTRL and DMG almond VOCs, namely 2-butanol, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, ethyl isovalerate, ethyl 2-butenoate, ethyl 3-methylbut-2-enoate, ethyl tiglate and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone. Several of these VOCs have been attributed to fruity, wine aroma and smoky odours 20,21 and are known semiochemicals, 22 -24 yet are not associated with NOW semiochemicals. The compounds that demonstrated statistically valid increases were ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, 2-methyland 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl tiglate and β-copaene (Fig.…”

BACKGROUND: The navel orangeworm (NOW) Amyelois transitella (Walker) is a major insect pest of almonds causing considerable monetary setbacks for both growers and processors, and thus control of NOW is one of the top priorities for the almond industry. Field observations purport that NOW is attracted to previously injured almonds. Accordingly, in this study the volatile output of damaged almonds was investigated in an effort to identify potential attractants for further studies into the control and/or monitoring of NOW. Mature almonds from the Monterey variety were evaluated for their volatile composition after mechanical damage and compared with the volatile composition of undamaged almonds.

The diverse range of indigenous fruit trees in Africa is a source of untapped potential for food and nutrition security. Here, we review information on 10 indigenous fruit trees that are considered to be underutilized and explore their occurrence, distribution, nutritional components, phytochemicals, and medicinal potentials, as well as their associated challenges and prospects. The indigenous fruit trees, which occur across different ecological zones in Africa, are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, protein, and valuable phytochemicals. They also have recognized medicinal value and used as diverse therapeutic remedies by many ethnic groups in Africa. The key challenges to fruit tree sustainability include indiscriminate and illegal logging, low accessibility, and low acceptability, as well as inadequate research on their cultivation. We proposed a scheme to increase the value chain of underutilized fruit trees, which can contribute to the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and other stakeholders mainly through income generation. In addition to the concerted efforts of multidisciplinary research teams encompassing plant breeders, botanists, molecular biologists, food scientists, and horticulturists, there is an urgent need for governments and other international stakeholders to provide incentives and encourage the domestication, commercialization, and agro‐processing of underutilized fruit trees for future economic prosperity of Africa.

“…Since the biogenic origin of these compounds is not certain, it is supposed probably to come from ubiquitous anthropogenic pollution contamination. The only identified nitrogen and sulfur compound, benzothiazole (in both kernel samples A and B of the two 5.4 and 7.3 kg analysed coconuts), was also found in Parinari fruit flavour study by Joulain et al [18] as well as the alkyl furans and alkenes in volatile fraction in caja-umbu fruits. [17] Four volatile flavour components are diols with 4, 5, and 9 C-atom skeleton, being the 1,3-and 2,3-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-pentanediol, and 1,9-nonanediol, respectively.…”

In the present study, we report the attempt to characterize the chemical composition of fruit kernel of Lodoicea maldivica coco nucifera palm (commonly named as 'Coco de mer') by gas chromatographic method. The analysis was performed by HS-SPME and GC/MS techniques to determine volatile aroma, sterol, and fatty acid composition profiles in the internal and external pulp of two distinct coconuts. Although no qualitative differences in flavour composition were observed between the two analysed coconuts and the relative two pulp parts, variations in the abundance levels of the prominent compounds have been recorded. The averaged quantity of total phytosterols, resulting from the two analysed 'Coco de mer' samples, was almost constant in both kernels coconut, being 24.5 μg/g (of dry net matter) for the external, and 26.9 μg/g (of dry net matter) for the internal portion. In both coconuts, the fatty acid pattern composition was characterized by seven saturated acids ranged from C14:0 (myristic) to C20:0 (arachidic) and two monounsaturated acids, the palmitoleic (C16:1, ω7) and the oleic (C18:1, ω9). Palmitic acid (C16:0) was the predominant one with an average contribution of about 49.0%, followed by pentadecanoic 16.5%, stearic (C18:0) 11.6%, and myristic (C14:0) 9.9% acids in all two examined kernel portions.
