Abstract:
The study focused on studying the volatile components of Litchi Unifloral honey through the electronic nose. This electronic nose is ultrafast GC chromatography produced the chromatogram as the responses of the volatiles. Many flavour compounds especially monoterpenoids such as geraniol, linalool, nerol and p-cymene found in the litchi also founded in the volatile profile of the honey. The obtained volatile fingerprint also contained the aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, pyrazine and furanone compounds. The volatile components obtained includes both the honey and the litchi matched with each other. Thus, it is possible to determine the quality of honey through the e-nose.
