Proton transfer reaction - mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) has become a reference technique in environmental science allowing for VOC monitoring with low detection limits. The recent introduction of time-of-flight analyzer (PTR-ToF-MS) opens new horizons terms resolution, acquisition time, and range. A standard procedure to perform quantitative measurements PTR-ToF-MS is calibrate the instrument using gas. However, given number compounds that can be simultaneously monitored by PTR-ToF-MS, such...
Sweetness is one of the main drivers consumer preference, and thus given high priority in apple breeding programmes. Due to complexity sweetness evaluation, soluble solid content (SSC) commonly used as an estimation this trait. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that SSC sweet taste are poorly correlated. Though individual sugar may vary greatly between within cultivars, no previous study tried investigate relationship amount sugars, or ratios these, sweetness. In work, we quantified...
The ripening of fleshy fruits is a complex developmental program characterized by extensive transcriptomic and metabolic remodeling in the pericarp tissues (pulp skin) making unripe green soft, tasteful colored. onset regulated plethora endogenous signals tuned to external stimuli. In grapevine tomato, which are classified as non-climacteric climacteric species respectively, accumulation hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) modulation reactive oxygen (ROS) scavenging enzymes at has been reported,...
Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) fruit consumption has increased over the last five years, becoming second most important soft species after strawberry. Despite possible economic and sensory impact, blueberry volatile organic compound (VOC) composition been poorly investigated. Thus, great impact of aroma on marketability stimulates need to step forward in understanding this quality trait. Beside strong effect ripening, profile also varies due broad genetic differences among Vaccinium that have...
The aim of the present work was to test potential Proton Transfer Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) in diagnosis liver cirrhosis and assessment disease severity by direct analysis exhaled breath. Twenty-six volunteers have been enrolled this study: 12 patients (M/F 8/4, mean age 70.5 years, min-max 42–80 years) with different etiologies at 14 healthy subjects 5/9, 52.3 35–77 years). Real time breath performed on fasting using a buffered end-tidal on-line sampler directly...
