Volatile profiles of Murcott and Ponkan mandarins obtained by stir bar sorptive extraction technique and their contributions to the fruit aroma.

Citrus species have undergone immense diversification ever since their ancestral origin. Ponkan and Murcott are two mandarin varieties widely consumed in Brazil and their aroma producing active compounds have not yet been extensively investigated. The present study analyzed the volatile constituents of the Ponkan and Murcott varieties employing the stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) technique and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for the first time.

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities in the agro-industrial residues of acerola (Malpighia emarginata L.), guava (Psidium guajava L.), genipap (Genipa americana L.) and umbu (Spondias tuberosa L.) fruits assisted by ultrasonic or shaker extraction.

The aim of this study was to analyze the residue powders of Malpighia emarginata L., Psidium guajava L., Genipa americana L.

Effect of spray drying on bioactive and volatile compounds in soursop (Annona muricata) fruit pulp.

Soursop is seasonal and highly perishable fruit, which limits its commercialization. Thus it is necessary to conserve its pulp so that it is available throughout the year. One of the most common forms of fruit preservation is by dehydration.
