Analysis of airborne volatiles of cowpea

Airborne volatiles of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata) plants were analysed by drawing air over the plants in a glass chamber, trapping the airborne volatiles on Tenax TA adsorbent, and releasing the trapped volatiles into a GC-MS by heating the Tenax trap. Eleven volatile compounds; hexanal, 1-nonene, α...

Description
Summary:Airborne volatiles of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata) plants were analysed by drawing air over the plants in a glass chamber, trapping the airborne volatiles on Tenax TA adsorbent, and releasing the trapped volatiles into a GC-MS by heating the Tenax trap. Eleven volatile compounds; hexanal, 1-nonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, ( Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetate, hexyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, limonene, ( E)-β-ocimene, nonanal and a-cedrene, were identified.
