New esteric components in the volatiles of banana fruit (Musa sapientum L.)
1993
Shiota, H.
The volatiles of the Delicious banana were analyzed by gas chromatography and a combined gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Eighty-six components were identified for the first time in banana among a total of 152 components. The acetate, butanoate, 3-methylbutanoate, and pentanoate esters of hex-4(Z)-en-1-ol, hept-4(Z)-en-2-ol, oct-4(Z)-en-1-ol oct-5(Z)-en-1-ol, and dec-4(Z)-en-1-ol were newly found. Moreover, hexan-2-yl butanoate, 3-methylbutanoate, and pentanoate were also detected in company with pentan-2-yl esters. The odor and taste evaluation of these esters was carried out.
