Notes:
The volatile constituents of the “Bowen” mango (Mangifera indica, Kensington Pride) have been isolated by concentration of the head-space vapors on Tenax-GC. The major components in the ripe fruit are ethyl butanoate and terpinolene, although a number of other esters and terpenes are present in smaller amounts. The concentration of esters was markedly decreased when the volatile constituents were isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction and the method is, therefore, considered to be less useful than headspace concentration. As the fruit is allowed to ripen on storage the concentration of ethyl butanoate decreases accompanied by an increase in the concentration of higher esters.
