Hello All, we are analyzing the volatile product of fresh dates, and I want to know what type of extraction / solvents (soxhlet, cold, ...,), and their analysis protocol by the GCMS, knowing we do not have headspace and SPME!
Another major factor would be the Maturity of the fruit........Do not think fresh and tender fruits would have any Volatiles in it.... Feel adopting a single method would not give best results...In some cases , a combination of Water extraction and subsequent extraction of the Volatiles by suitable solvents might be usefull.......
