“…These c 6 alcohols and esters have been identified in three earlier studies [6][7][8] as the principal volatiles of guava fruits and other products. It is possible that the hydrodistillation method used in the isolation of the oil was responsible for the absence of these volatiles.…”

The chemical composition of the volatile oil of guava fruits from trees grown in Nigeria was investigated by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 25 compounds accounting for 80% of the oil were identified. Free fatty acids (mainly lauric and myristic acids) were the most abundant group of constituents (34 %). Large amounts of /?-caryophyllene and oxygen-containing sesquiterpenes (25 %) were also typical for Nigerian guava. Caryophylladienols are reported as guava volatiles for the first time.

“…The C6 compounds group, hexanal, (E)-hex-2-enal, hexanol, (Z)-hex-3-enol and the esters (Z)-hex-3-enyl acetate, 3-phenylpropyl acetate, and cinnamyl acetate identified in the guava nectar sample confirm the findings of other researchers, who consider these compounds as predominant in guava fruit and its products. Idstein and Schreier (1985) also found these eight compounds in Brazilian guava and reported over 50% of volatile compounds as being aldehydes. They reported hexanal and (E)-hex-2-enal as being quantitatively predominant.…”

IntroductionAroma is one of the most important factors in sensory quality identity for fruits and vegetable products. Food aroma can be understood and identified by its volatile chemical compounds content. These volatiles are sensed and the aroma perceived by olfactory sensory receptors either when food are tasted or by its smell exhaled from a distance (NOBREGA, 2003).Volatile compounds have an important role in fruit juice sensory quality, particularly when it is heat treated and need to be stored ISMAIL;ASKAR, 1988). Qualitative and quantitative analyses of aroma compounds are needed in monitoring product quality and for aroma developing in fresh and processed products (SONG et al., 1997).Yen and Lin (1999), studying heat treatment, 95 °C/5 minute, in guava juice, detected a decrease in the volatile compounds content as compared to fresh product; however, there was no important effect of storage time on the volatile concentration up to 60 days under refrigeration at 4 °C. Esters and alcohols had higher concentrations than those of the other volatile compounds. ResumoNéctares de goiaba foram formulados para 10, 12 ou 14 ºBrix. Benzoato de sódio, 500 mg.kg -1 , foi usado como conservante. O Brix foi ajustado usando xarope saturado de sacarose. O néctar foi pasteurizado a 85 °C/42 segundos, em trocador de calor tubular e envasado, a quente, em garrafas de vidro branco de 500 mL. Os produtos foram estocados à temperatura ambiente (25 ± 5 o C) e sob refrigeração (5 ± 2 o C), expostos à luz fluorescente e analisados um dia após processamento (tempo zero) e aos 40, 80 e 120 dias de estocagem. Oito compostos foram identificados e quantificados por Cromatografia Gasosa (CG) -Espectrometria de Massa (EM): hexanal, (E)-hex-2-enal, 1-hexenol, (Z)-hex-3-enol, acetato de (Z)-hex-3-enila, acetato de 3-fenilpropila, acetato de cinamila e ácido acético. O efeito do processamento térmico na concentração de compostos voláteis não foi significativo, exceto um decréscimo na concentração de hexanal (p = 0,0001) e acetato de (Z)-hex-3-enila (p = 0,0029). Observou-se maior decréscimo no teor dos ésteres (Z)-hex-3-enila e acetato de 3-fenilpropila durante a estocagem. O acetato de cinamila apresentou maior decréscimo de concentração após a estocagem. A refrigeração apresentou melhor efeito na estabilidade dos teores de voláteis, principalmente os ésteres.

Sodium benzoate, 500 mg.kg -1 was used as preservative. The Brix value was adjusted with saturated sucrose syrup. The guava nectar was pasteurized (85 o C/42 seconds) in tubular heat exchanger and then hot filled in 500 mL white glass bottles. The products were stored either at room temperature (25 ± 5 o C) or refrigerated (5 ± 2 °C) under fluorescent light exposure and analyzed on the day after processing (time zero) and also 40, 80, and 120 days of storage.

“…However, the major extracts related in the literature are prepared with unsuitable solvents for dermatological use or even toxic solvents. The description of the volatile compounds can also be found (Jiménez-Escrig, 2001;Soares et al, 2007;Chyau, Chen, Wu, 1992;Idstein, Schreier, 1985), as well the fruit oil composition (El-Ahmady, Ashour, Wink, 2013) can also be found.…”

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a native fruit of the American tropics with commercial applications for its taste, flavor and aroma. Numerous pharmacological uses have been described for it, such as the antiseptic effect of its leaves, the use of the fresh fruit and tea from its leaves for the treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, diabetes mellitus, and others. However, considering its rich composition, the guava also is a potential source of antioxidants to be used in the development of new formulations for cosmetic and/or dermatological applications, the main focus of this research. Herein, we describe the study of the phytochemical composition and the antioxidant activity of a guava extract prepared with non-toxic solvents aiming its use at biological applications. High performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were employed to identify the major components, while thermoanalytical measurements and hot stage microscopy were used to assess the chemical stability of guava fruit extract. The antioxidant activity was also evaluated assessing the SOD-like activity and ABTS free radical scavenger. The results show that the extract is a rich source of phenolic compounds, such as quercetin, kaempferol, schottenol, among many others. All of the components found in guava extract exhibit biological effects according to the literature data, mainly antioxidant properties. Uniterms
