Grown predominantly in France, Ciflorette strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Ciflorette’) possess a well‐balanced fruity aroma and a sweet, creamy taste. The goal of this study was to better understand the chemical composition and key odourants of this unique fruit. Incorporating fractionation and multidimensional gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (MDGC‐MS), the volatile constituents of Ciflorette strawberries are discussed for the first time from the large‐scale extraction of 100 kg of the pureed berries. A total of 24 volatile sulphur compounds were either absolutely confirmed by synthesis or tentatively identified from the different analyses. Three sulphur compounds were synthesized and described in nature for the first time: 1‐(methylthio)‐2,3‐butanedione, 3‐(acetylthio)‐hexanal and 2,6‐dipropyl‐3‐formyl‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐thiopyran. Finally, GC‐olfactometry (O) conducted by seven panelists led to the identification of 43 aroma‐active compounds in the strawberry extract. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The need for video converence is something that cannot be ignored. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak all sectors must utilize this technology. Such is the case with Semarang Islamic State University Walisongo. Where UIN Walisongo requires all students, lecturers and education personnel to remain at home in an effort to comply with government regulations as an effort to prevent this outbreak. Therefore, to find a solution for communication to stay connected, a system for online meetings was built that could be used by students and lecturers as a medium of online learning, and the education staff and leaders to be able to always be connected in the midst of the covid outbreak.
