Chromatographic profile of volatiles organic compounds (VOCs) from several varieties of multifloral and unifloral honey produced in Transylvania, Romania, was analysed in order to determine the differences between them. VOCs collected using solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique were analysed by gas-chromatography coupled with mass-spectrometry (GC-MS). The fiber used was Carboxen / PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) 75�m. By qualitative analysis, a number of 98 volatiles in unifloral honey and 52 volatiles in multifloral honey were identified. The differences regarding volatile compounds of multifloral honey were observed to be between varieties from different areas of Transylvania (mountain, plain, hill and urban area) while in the case of unifloral assortments (rapeseed, acacia, sunflower and linden) differences were observed at specific compounds. Compounds identified in our samples were grouped into main classes of substances: hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids and their esters, furan and pyran derivatives and terpenes.

The compounds responsible for the characteristic odor of eight fresh non-edible Basidiomycetes fungi were evaluated. The volatile organic compounds from the fresh samples present in the headspace of a sealed vial were determined by solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, using a PDMS/DVB fiber. A total of twenty-eight components were identified, the most frequent being 1-octen-3-ol and 3-octanone.

The aim of the present study was to describe volatile organic compounds of the traditional Slovak bryndza cheese determined by using an electronic nose (e-nose) and a gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) with head-space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME). For the first time, e-nose based on the gas chromatography principle with a flame ionization detector was described to identify and quantify aroma active compounds of bryndza cheese from Slovakia. The e-nose detects aroma compounds of very small concentrations in real-time of a few minutes and identifies them by comparing Kovats´ retention indices with the NIST library. Bryndza cheese produced from unpasteurized ewe´s milk and from a mixture of raw ewe´s and pasteurized cow´s types of milk were collected from 2 different Slovak farms beginning in May through to September 2019. The flavour and aroma of bryndza cheese are apparently composed of compounds contained in milk and the products of fermentation of the substrate by bacteria and fungi. Regarding volatile organic compounds, 25 compounds were detected and identified by an electronic nose with a discriminant >0.900 with ethyl acetate, isopentyl acetate, 2-butanone, acetic acid, butanoic acid, and butane-2,3-dione confirmed by gas chromatography. We confirm the suitability of the electronic nose to be used for monitoring of bryndza cheese quality.
