Abstract

Nineteen additional, mainly in trace amounts, occurring volatiles of pineapple fruit—including four nonterpenoid hydrocarbons and a number of carboxylic esters—have been isolated under enzyme inhibition, enriched by liquid-liquid extraction, fractionated on silica gel, and identified by gas chromatography and coupled GC-MS. Among them, 1-(E,Z)-3,5-undecatriene and 1-(E,Z,Z)-3,5,8-undecatetraene may contribute to the typical flavor of pineapple. They combine a fragrant odor with extremely low odor detection thresholds. The corresponding E,E and E,Z,Z isomers are much less odorous (factors of 10⁶ and 10⁴, respectively). Disintegration of the fruit tissue without enzyme inhibition causes a rapid decrease of all undecaenes.
