OTIMIZAÇÃO DO PROCESSO NÃO INVASIVO E NÃO DESTRUTIVO DE EXTRAÇÃO E ANÁLISE DE METABÓLITOS VOLÁTEIS DE MAMÃO PAPAIA POR SPME-GC-MS

The analysis of volatiles is an alternative in the routine of quality control of fruits, since the volatile metabolites can change in the presence of microorganisms. A well-established method for extracting volatiles is the solid phase microextraction (SPME). This work aims to define some parameters (fiber coating, conditioning time and fiber exposure time) for an effective extraction. Whole papaya was inserted into a hermetically closed glass bottle and the system was left in conditioning for the volatiles accumulation. Then, extraction by SPME and subsequent desorption in a gas chromatograph...
