| Abstract: | "The profiles of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from orange fruits infested by Ceratitis capitata were examined. VOCs were collected from the headspace of oranges immediately, 24 h, 5 days, 8 days, and 13 days after oviposition and when larvae exit the fruit by applying either static or dynamic sampling techniques. A total of 32 and 47 compounds were detected in infested orange fruits when using static and dynamic techniques, respectively. Differences in the volatile profile of oranges were observed. Classification models were employed, showing that infested fruits emitted a chemical profile distinct from that of non-infested ones. Limonene was associated with cell disruption. (E)-beta-Ocimene, (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene, hexyl butanoate, butyl hexanoate, and hexyl hexanoate were the VOCs that were correlated with the infestation of sweet oranges by C. capitata" |
