Volatile flavor constituents of fruits from Southern Africa: Mobola plum (Parinari curatellifolia).

The volatile flavor components of Mobola plum (Parinari curatellifolia), a native fruit of Southern Africa, have been isolated by a vacuum headspace concentration method. The concentrate was analyzed by hyphenated gas chromatographic techniques, including gas chromatography (GC)/mass spectrometry (MS) and GC/Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), together with other GC-coupled detection devices for the specific and selective detection of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds. A total of 88 components were identified.
