Abstract
A headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) procedure for isolation and investigation of volatile compounds in hybrid “limequat” and parents “Mexican lime and kumquat” fruits using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for the separation and identification of the volatiles was employed in the present study. Each of mature, fresh and whole fruits was freeze-dried, and each sample was powdered. In all samples, limonene (29.9-46.6%) was the most abundant monoterpene hydrocarbon among the identified monoterpenes. The common characteristic compounds are critically discussed.
