Abstract
The effect of stage of maturity on the chemical composition and volatile components of acerola (Malpighia punicifolia L.) was investigated in three different stages. Stage of maturation was characterized by different indicators such as color, vitamin C, soluble solids, protein, ash, moisture, titrable acidity, pH and sugars. Titrable acidity, sugars and soluble solids increased and vitamin C and protein decreased with the progress of maturation. The volatile fraction was analysed by GC–MS. It was possible to identify 31 compounds in the mature (red) fruits, such as acethyl-methyl-carbinol, 2-methyl-propyl-acetate, limonene, E-Z-octenal, ethyl hexanoate, isoprenyl butirate and acetofenone; 23 in the intermediate (yellow), such as, methyl hexanoate, 3-octen-1-ol and hexyl butirate; and 14 in the immature (green) fruit, such as methyl-propyl-ketone, E-Z-hexenyl-acetate and 1-octadecanol.
研究了不同成熟期针叶树(malpiighia punicifolia L.)化学成分和挥发性成分对不同成熟期针叶树的影响。成熟度指标包括颜色、维生素C、可溶性固形物、蛋白质、灰分、水分、可滴定酸度、pH和糖。随着成熟的进展,可滴定酸度、糖和可溶性固形物增加,维生素C和蛋白质减少。采用气相色谱-质谱法分析挥发分。成熟(红色)果实中可鉴定出31种化合物,如乙酰甲基甲醇、2-甲基乙酸丙酯、柠檬烯、e - z -辛醛、己酸乙酯、丁酸异丙酯和乙酮;23中间体(黄色),如己酸甲酯、3-辛烯-1-醇和丁酸己酯;未成熟(绿色)果实中含有14种,如甲基丙基酮、e - z -乙酸己烯和1-十八醇。
