Abstract
Summary: Simultaneous distillation–extraction combined with GC‐FID and GC‐MS were used to analyse volatile compounds from mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. Corazón) and to estimate the most odour‐active compounds in the fruit. The analyses led to the identification of 167 components, from which 128 were positively identified. The aroma‐active areas in the gas chromatogram were screened by the application of the aroma extract dilution analysis and by odour activity values. Eighteen odorants were considered as the most odour‐active compounds: (E)‐β‐damascenone, ethyl butanoate, (E,Z)‐nonadienal, ethyl 2‐methylpropanoate, (E)‐2‐nonenal, (E)‐β‐ionone, terpinolene, δ‐3‐carene, β‐caryophyllene, ethyl 2‐methylbutanoate, limonene, myrcene, linalool, γ‐octalactone, nonanal, methyl benzoate, 2,5‐dimethyl‐4‐methoxy‐3(2H)‐furanone and hexanal.
