Characterization of glycosidically bound aroma compounds in the African mango (Mangifera indica L.)

Glycosidically bound volatile constituents of the African mango (Mangifera indica) were characterized. Isolation and separation of components were accomplished by adsorption on a nonionic resin Amberlite XAD-2 by column chromatography and elution by various selective solvents. Aglycons from the volatile components from the glycesidically bound fraction were released by enzymatic hydrolysis with almond beta-glycosidase. Volatile components from the glycosidically bound fraction were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 33 compounds were reported in the glycosidically bound fraction including 8 monoterpene alcohols, 5 aldehydes, 4 acids, 7 esters, and 5 C13 norisoprenoids
