Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of a typical sensory concept for Bordeaux dessert wines, including the world famous wines of Sauternes. Volatile compounds from several chemical families (thiols, aldehydes, and lactones) were identified and correlated with aromatic typicality in these wines. However, these studies were unable to indicate "key" aromas of overripe fruits, especially overripe orange. The alternative strategy developed in this research combined both analytical and sensory studies of fractions of dessert wine extracts obtained by semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Multidimensional gas chromatography coupled to olfactometry and mass spectrometry (MDGC-O/MS) was applied to some of the HPLC fractions recalling "overripe fruit", and a new lactone, 2-nonen-4-olide, was identified. Reconstitution and omission tests using the HPLC fractions highlighted the importance of specific compounds, particularly 2-nonen-4-olide, in the expression of overripe orange notes. Although this lactone presents minty and fruity odors, its key contribution to the typical aroma of orange in Bordeaux dessert wines was revealed through perceptual blending.

Introduction: The ripening of fleshy fruits is a developmental process that involves changes in color, texture, aroma, nutrients, and diversity of microbiomes. Some microorganisms, specially, bacteria and molds are responsible for postharvest spoilage of fruits. Thus, this study is aimed at evaluating the alterations in microbiome and physico-chemical properties of selected fruits at different ripening stages.

Gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS) has been very useful in identifying aroma compounds from within the complex matrix of wine. Supplementary separation can be required to overcome co-elution of volatiles or other sensory-directed chromatographic strategies are needed, including multidimensional chromatography and preparative fraction collection coupled to GC. Studies investigating 'overripe orange' aroma in sweet Sauternes wine and the similar 'apricot' aroma in Viognier wine were conducted.

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) and Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) were recently observed co-infesting persimmons in Brazil. We evaluate the infestation susceptibility of persimmons at different ripening stages (unripe, UN; early ripe, ER; orange ripe, OR, and overripe, OV) by D. suzukii and Z.

Ripening is one of the most important transformations that fruits and vegetables suffer, from an unripe to a ripe stage. In this study, it was followed up and analyzed the variations in the composition of tomato fruits at different ripening stages (green or unripe, orange or middle ripe, red or ripe and brown or overripe). The results obtained from the Raman measurements carried out showed a change in the composition of tomato fruits in the transit from green to brown.
