Identification of Volatile Compounds in Several Parts of Abiu (Pouteria Caimito)

Abstract Abiu ( Pouteria caimito ) is one of the exotic plants native to Amazon and has been introduced in Indonesia. contained beneficial compounds for health. Therefore, hexane extract from several parts abiu were identified its volatile compound content. The study used 6 (six) plant, i.e. shoot leaves, mature unripe fruit, ripe fruit pulp, peel seed. contents determined using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS). results showed that leaves tended be dominated by acted plant protection (capsaicin 1-fluoro dodecane). consisted 5-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-hepten-3-one, methylcyclopentane, 2-hexenal 3-hexanol compounds. In it ketones, aldehydes (hexanal 2-hexenal), alcohol (3-hexanol) identified. These are related aroma ripening process fruit. aldehyde (2-hexenal 2-propenal) capsaicin, which also protection.
