Headspace SPME-GC-MS Analysis of Tea Volatiles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The analysis of volatiles was performed using a previous method by Li et al. (Li et al., 2020 (link)). About 0.2 g of tea leaves or flower samples was mixed with 5 ml of boiling water in sealed headspace vials and then kept in a water bath kettle at 50°C. After being in equilibrium for 10 min, an SPME fiber was exposed to the sample headspace for 40 min. The volatile compounds were desorbed at the GC-MS injector for 5 min at 230°C. Then, the analysis process of GCMS-QP2010S was performed to detect the compounds as described by Feng et al. (2019) (link). All reference compounds used in this study were well described by Feng et al. (2019) (link). Ethyl caprate (0.2 μg/g, Sigma, USA) was used as the internal standard to normalize the contents of the compounds.

Ethyl acetate, ethyl 2-methylpropionate, propyl acetate, ethyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, isobutyl acetate, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, ethyl 3-methyl butyrate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl valerate, butyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate, isoamyl butyrate, propyl hexanoate, ethyl heptanoate, ethyl lactate, 3-methylbutyl hexanoate, propyl octanoate, ethyl nonanoate, hexyl hexanoate, ethyl 2-furoate, ethyl caprate, ethyl benzoate, ethyl phenylacetate, ethyl laurate, ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate, ethyl tetradecanoate, ethyl pentadecanoate, ethyl palmitate, ethyl oleate, and linoleic acid ethyl ester were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Shanghai, China). The internal standard (IS) was 2-octanol (Sigma-Aldrich, Shanghai, China). The linear retention index (RI) was determined with a C7–C30 n-alkane mixture (Sigma-Aldrich, Shanghai, China). All of the reagents used were of analytical grade with a purity of at least 97%, and most with a purity exceeding 99%. A Milli-Q purification system provided pure water (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). Sodium chloride (analytical grade) and absolute ethanol (analytical grade) were obtained from Sino-pharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd (Shanghai, China).

Quantifying Cotton Plant Volatiles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To collect cotton plant volatiles, dynamic headspace sampling method was carried out. One MeJA-exposed or control plant in pot were randomly placed within a glass jar at 18 h after onset of MeJA. The container was sealed with a glass lid that had an air inlet and an air outlet. Air was purified by passage through an activated charcoal filter and pumped through the container at a flow rate of 1500 mL/min with a vacuum pump (Beijing Institute of Labor Instrument, Beijing, China). Eight mm diameter glass tubes comtaining 50 mg of 60/80 mesh Tenax TA (Shanghai ANPEL Science Instrument Company, Shanghai, China) directly connected to the outlet were used to collect volatiles. The collection of volatiles for each treatment was repeated 3 times.
The collected volatiles were extracted with 300 μL of hexane (Fisher, Fairlawn, NJ). 8.65 ng/μL of ethyl caprate (Sigma-Aldrich, Oakville, Canada) was individually added in each extracted sample as an internal standard. Except for the following settings: the GC oven temperature program was 40°C (1-min hold) followed by a rise to 130°C at a rate of 4°C/min (5-min hold) and then to 250°C at a rate of 10°C/min (5-min hold), the rest of GC-MS analysis was executed as mentioned above.

Sulfuric acid, methanol, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), toluene, sodium chloride, anhydrous sodium sulfate, and diethyl ether were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Hexyl hexanoate, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), and alkane reference standards were purchased from J&K Chemical Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Margaric acid and ethyl caprate were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).
Thirty-seven FAME reference standards with concentrations between 100 ng/mL and 200 ng/mL (C4–C24) were mixed, while FAME reference standards with carbon numbers of C16-C18 were prepared individually, and the purity was 98–99%. The alkane reference standards (C4–C40) were dissolved in chloroform with a concentration of 500 μg/mL.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
