Aroma is important in assessing the quality of fresh fruit and their processed products, and could provide good indicators for the development of local cultivars in the mango industry. In this study, the volatile diversity of 25 mango cultivars from China, America, Thailand, India, Cuba, Indonesia, and the Philippines was investigated. The volatile compositions, their relative contents, and the intervarietal differences were detected with headspace solid phase microextraction tandem gas chromatography-mass spectrometer methods.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers utilized Illumina RNA-seq technology to analyze the transcriptome of 'Zill' mango fruit at different development and ripening stages, generating over 68 million sequence reads that resulted in over 54,000 transcripts.
  • Out of these transcripts, 42,515 were annotated with gene functions and pathways, revealing many previously uncharacterized transcripts through analysis using databases like KEGG.
  • The study also employed mass spectrometry to identify 2,754 proteins in the mango fruit, producing the most comprehensive proteome characterization to date and serving as a valuable resource for future research in genomics and proteomics.

A LC-MS-MS assay has been developed for determinating of azithromycin in human plasma and investigating the pharmacokinetics in Chinese male volunteers following oral administration of a single dose of the capsules (0.5 g). Plasma samples were deproteinated by methanol and a liquid chromatographic-mass-mass spectrometric assay was developed for the determination of azithromycin in human plasma.
