Composição química volátil, em diferentes estádios de maturação, de manga 'Tommy Atkins' produzida no Vale do São Francisco

The effect of the maturation stages on the volatile chemical composition of mango fruit cv. Tommy Atkins, cultivated in São Francisco Valley, was investigated using SPME. GC/MS and GC-FID analysis allowed the identification of 32 compounds, consisting mainly of monoterpenes. δ-3-Carene was the major component in all the stages, while α-terpinolene, trans-β-caryophyllene e α-pinene succeded each other as the second most abundant constituent, during the ripening. The aroma of the ripe fruit was characterized by presence of short-chain ethyl esters (C2-C6), whereas the green mango contained the highest concentration of δ-3-carene. Furthermore, some terpenes were detected exclusively at one of the stages.
