Volatile constituents of genipap (Genipa americana L.) fruit from Cuba

Abstract

Volatile constituents were isolated from genipap (Genipa americana L.) fruit by simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction according to Likens-Nickerson. Compounds were identified by capillary GC-MS. Ninetyeight compounds were identified in the aroma concentrate, of which hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, linalool and limonene were found to be the major constituents. Carboxylic acids, with their acidic and harsh notes, should play an important role in the flavor of the fruit.

“…The obtained crude essential oils were then investigated by GC-FID and GC-MS technique [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . Identification of the compounds was made by a typical library search (Nist, Wiley 7NL), authentic compounds and literature comparison [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . In the present work, we report the constituents of the essential oils of the flower, leave, and stem from V. wiedemannianum.…”

“…One mL essential oil solution in hexane (HPLC grade) was injected and analyzed with the column held initially at 60 for 2 min and then increased to 240 with a 3 /min heating ramp. The identity of each compound was supported by comparing their retention indices (RI) with published values [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . The sample was analyzed twice and the percentage composition of oil was computed from the GC peak areas without using correction factors.…”

“…The constituents of the oils were identified by comparison of their mass spectra with those of mass spectral libraries (NIST and Wiley 7NL), authentic compounds (limonene, undecane, tridecane, tetrdecane, pentadecane, heptadecane, nonadecane, docosane, tricosane, tetracosane, pentacosane, and hexacosane) and with data published in the literature [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] .…”
