Metabolite profiling on apple volatile content based on solid phase microextraction and gas-chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry

Determination of the Volatile Components of Apple Juice Using Solid Phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry

“…The diversity of the fruit-approximately twenty thousand varieties-and widespread use has led to extensive study of apple products. Studies performed have focused on flavor profiles (Eisele and Drake 2005;Xiaobo and Jiewen 2008;Abrodo et al 2010;Nikfardjam and Maier 2011), the influence of processing on the aroma (Echeverria et al 2004;Elss et al 2006;Komthong et al 2006;Onsekizoglu, Savas Bahceci, and Jale Acar 2010), off-flavor compound determination (Zierler et al 2004;Bagheri, Aghakhani, and Es-haghi 2007), volatile characteristic for different varieties (Ban et al 2010;Zhang, Li, and Cheng 2010), metabolite profiling on volatiles (Aprea et al 2011), volatile emissions from trees (Vallat, Gu, and Dorn 2005), and pesticide residue determination (Zambonin et al 2004;Ticha et al 2008). However, comparative differentiation between volatile organic concentrations of commercial and fresh apple juice has not yet been performed.…”

A NMR-based, non-targeted multistep metabolic profiling revealed l-rhamnitol as a metabolite that characterised apples from different geographic origins

“…Metabolomics is a field of omics research concerned with the high-throughput identification and quantification of metabolites. To establish measures for assessing quality, such as screening out apples with internal browning, as well as discriminating between apples of different cultivars and geographic origins, several metabolomic studies using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) (Aprea et al, 2011;Capitani et al, 2013;Lee, Mattheis, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2014.11.028 0308-8146/Ó 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.…”

Integration of GC-MS Based Non-Targeted Metabolic Profiling with Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction Enhances the Understanding of Volatile Differentiation in Tobacco Leaves from North Carolina, India and Brazil

“…In general, SPME facilitates rapid sample preparation, simplifies extraction steps, enriches metabolites and introduces metabolites into an analytical instrument with one solventfree step [7]. Therefore, the application of SPME has widely enhanced the identification of targeted volatiles in numerous crop and medicinal plants, examples of which include apple [8], Vitis vinifera [9], Artemisia argyi [10], Artemisia annua [11] and tobacco.…”
