Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

  • Effect of Enzymes on Strawberry Volatiles During Storage, at Different Ripeness
    Effect of Enzymes on Strawberry Volatiles During Storage, at Different Ripeness Level, in Different Cultivars and During Eating Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gulsah Ozcan Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Sheryl Ann Barringer, Adviser W. James Harper John Litchfield 1 Copyright by Gülşah Özcan 2010 ii ABSTRACT Strawberry samples with enzyme activity and without enzyme activity (stannous chloride added) were measured for real time formation of lipoxygenase (LOX) derived aroma compounds after 5 min pureeing using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). The concentration of (Z)-3-hexenal and (E)-2-hexenal increased immediately after blending and gradually decreased over time while hexanal concentration increased for at least 5 min in ground strawberries. The formation of hexanal was slower than the formation of (Z)-3-hexenal and (E)-2-hexenal in the headspace of pureed strawberries. The concentration of LOX aldehydes and esters significantly increased during refrigerated storage. Damaging strawberries increased the concentration of LOX aldehydes but did not significantly affect the concentration of esters. The concentrations of many of the esters were strongly correlated to their corresponded acids and/or aldehydes. The concentration of LOX generated aldehydes decreased during ripening, while fruity esters increased. Different varieties had different aroma profiles and esters were the greatest percentage of the volatiles. The aroma release of some of the LOX derived aldehydes in the mouthspace in whole strawberries compared to chopped strawberries showed that these volatiles are formed in the mouth during chewing.

  • Comprehensive Characterization of Toxicity of Fermentative Metabolites on Microbial Growth Brandon Wilbanks1 and Cong T
    Wilbanks and Trinh Biotechnol Biofuels (2017) 10:262 DOI 10.1186/s13068-017-0952-4 Biotechnology for Biofuels RESEARCH Open Access Comprehensive characterization of toxicity of fermentative metabolites on microbial growth Brandon Wilbanks1 and Cong T. Trinh1,2* Abstract Background: Volatile carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters are natural fermentative products, typically derived from anaerobic digestion. These metabolites have important functional roles to regulate cellular metabolisms and broad use as food supplements, favors and fragrances, solvents, and fuels. Comprehensive characterization of toxic efects of these metabolites on microbial growth under similar conditions is very limited. Results: We characterized a comprehensive list of thirty-two short-chain carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters on microbial growth of Escherichia coli MG1655 under anaerobic conditions. We analyzed toxic efects of these metabo- lites on E. coli health, quantifed by growth rate and cell mass, as a function of metabolite types, concentrations, and physiochemical properties including carbon number, chemical functional group, chain branching feature, energy density, total surface area, and hydrophobicity. Strain characterization revealed that these metabolites exert distinct toxic efects on E. coli health. We found that higher concentrations and/or carbon numbers of metabolites cause more severe growth inhibition. For the same carbon numbers and metabolite concentrations, we discovered that branched chain metabolites are less toxic than the linear chain ones. Remarkably, shorter alkyl esters (e.g., ethyl butyrate) appear less toxic than longer alkyl esters (e.g., butyl acetate). Regardless of metabolites, hydrophobicity of a metabolite, gov- erned by its physiochemical properties, strongly correlates with the metabolite’s toxic efect on E. coli health.

    BLUE BOOK 1 Methyl Acetate CIR EXPERT PANEL MEETING AUGUST 30-31, 2010 Memorandum To: CIR Expert Panel Members and Liaisons From: Bart Heldreth Ph.D., Chemist Date: July 30, 2010 Subject: Draft Final Report of Methyl Acetate, Simple Alkyl Acetate Esters, Acetic Acid and its Salts as used in Cosmetics . This review includes Methyl Acetate and the following acetate esters, relevant metabolites and acetate salts: Propyl Acetate, Isopropyl Acetate, t-Butyl Acetate, Isobutyl Acetate, Butoxyethyl Acetate, Nonyl Acetate, Myristyl Acetate, Cetyl Acetate, Stearyl Acetate, Isostearyl Acetate, Acetic Acid, Sodium Acetate, Potassium Acetate, Magnesium Acetate, Calcium Acetate, Zinc Acetate, Propyl Alcohol, and Isopropyl Alcohol. At the June 2010 meeting, the Panel reviewed information submitted in response to an insufficient data announcement for HRIPT data for Cetyl Acetate at the highest concentration of use (lipstick). On reviewing the data in the report, evaluating the newly available unpublished studies and assessing the newly added ingredients, the Panel determined that the data are now sufficient, and issued a Tentative Report, with a safe as used conclusion. Included in this report are Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) sponsored toxicity studies on Methyl Acetate and Propyl Acetate, which were provided in “wave 2” at the June Panel Meeting but are now incorporated in full. The Tentative Report was issued for a 60 day comment period (60 days as of the August panel meeting start date). The Panel should now review the Draft Final Report, confirm the conclusion of safe, and issue a Final Report. All of the materials are in the Panel book as well as in the URL for this meeting's web page http://www.cir- safety.org/aug10.shtml.

  • Comprehensive Mapping of Volatile Organic Compounds in Fruits
    International PhD Program in Biomolecular Sciences XXVII Cycle Comprehensive Mapping of Volatile Organic Compounds in Fruits Tutor Dr. Fulvio Mattivi Department of Food Quality and Nutrition, Fondazione Edmund Mach Advisor Prof. Vladimir Shulaev Department of Biological Sciences, University of North Texas Ph.D. Thesis of Manoj Shahaji Ghaste Department of Food Quality and Nutrition Fondazione Edmund Mach 2013-2014 This thesis is lovingly dedicated to my Mother. Her support, encouragement, belief and constant love have sustained me throughout my life. Declaration I, Manoj Shahaji Ghaste confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Thesis abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the key aroma producers in fruits and sensory quality of fruits is widely determined by qualitative and quantitative composition of VOCs. The aroma of grape is a complex of hundreds of VOCs belonging to different chemical classes like alcohols, esters, acids, terpenes, aldehydes, furanones, pyrazines, isoprenoids and many more. VOCs play important role as they determine the flavor of grapes and wine made from it. The objective of this thesis is to study of VOCs through development of different mass spectrometry based analytical methodologies and its applications for the comprehensive investigation and construction of database of the VOCs in grapes. First part of the study was dedicated to generation of a database of grape VOCs through the screening of multiple grape varieties (n=124) representing different species, color and origin. The experiment was carried out using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) based approach and according to metabolomics protocols.
