Samples (5000 ll) and 4975 ll pure water (Millipore, Brazil) were poured into 20 ml glass sample vials. NaCl (3 g) and 25 ll of a 25 ng ll -1 methanolic (R)-2-octanol solution, internal standard, were added to each sample. Vials were sealed with a Teflon-faced septum cap and mixed on a magnetic stirrer (IKA, USA) at 1100 rpm. Samples were pre-conditioned at the extraction temperature (40 °C) for 15 min. Polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibers (65 lm; Supelco, USA) were used for HS-SPME. Before use, the fibers were conditioned according to the manufacturer's instructions. After pre-conditioning of the sample, SPME fibers (2 cm) were exposed to the headspace for 15 min at controlled temperature (40 °C) during the extraction process, and the fibers were inserted immediately into the GC injector port (230 °C) for 20 min for thermal desorption of the volatile compounds (Massera et al. 2012) .

A manual fiber holder and 65 μm polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibers (length = 1 cm), supplied by Supelco (Bellefonte, PA, USA), were employed in this study. Fiber was conditioned before use by inserting into the GC injector port at 250 °C during 30 min, following the manufacturer recommendations. A magnetic stirrer equipped with electronic contact thermometer (IKA®-Werke GmbH & Co. KG, Germany) was used to favor the volatilization of aroma-related compounds into the headspace.
The headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) process was carried out by introducing 10 g of fruit puree into a 20 mL glass vial, together with 1 g of sodium chloride and 40 µL of the IS solution at 1000 mg L−1. The vial was crimped with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-faced septum, then immersed into a water bath at 65 °C, and magnetically stirred during 30 min for temperature equilibration. Afterwards, headspace sampling was performed for 20 min at 65 °C, stirring the solution at 800 rpm. Finally, the fiber was withdrawn from the vial and the SPME device was transferred to the GC injection port, where thermal desorption of the analytes was carried out at 240 °C for 5 min.

The volatiles emitted from eight males and eight females were sampled using the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technique and analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bellefonte, USA). To collect the odor emitted by males and females, we used a conical flask (height: 15 cm, diameter: 3 cm, V: 300 ml) with one small opening and one SPME fiber holder placed in the opening. The sample time was 1 h for the fiber and either eight males or eight females were kept together in the conical flask each time.
Polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibers (65 μm, Supelco, Bellefonte, PA, USA) were used to sample the volatiles from live butterflies31 . The SPME fibers were desorbed before each sampling by heating in a GC injector (250 °C for 10 min) with a He gas flow. Analyses were conducted using a Thermo Fisher TRACE GC ULTRA coupled to a Thermo Fisher ITQ 900 MS. A TR-1MS column (internal diameter: 0.25 mm, film thickness: 0.25 μm, length: 30 m) was used, programmed for 40 °C for 2 min then increased to 120 °C for 2 min (4 °C/min), and then increased to 230 °C for 5 min (5 °C/min) with an injector temperature of 250 °C, and He carrier gas at 69 kPa. Identification of the compounds was made by comparison of retention times and mass spectra with authentic reference samples.

The SPME equipped with a 65 μm PDMS-DVB fiber (Supelco, Bellefonte, PA, USA) was inserted into above vial to collect volatile compounds for 30 mins. The collection temperature in our experiment was 50 °C thus volatile in flowers could be stimulated out better. An empty vial was used as control. After 30 mins, the fiber was inserted into the injection of GC for 3 minutes' sample introduction.
The GC conditions in our experiment were as follows: a GC system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was equipped with a DB-5MS fused silica capillary column (30 m× 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Helium was used as carrier gas with flow rate of 1 mL / min. The original temperature was 50 °C for 2 mins and increasing at 5 °C per min to 200 °C with no hold. Then the temperature increased at 10 °C per min to 220 °C.
The MS conditions in our experiment were as follows: the electron ionization mode of the MS was operated at 70 eV, generating a scan range of 45-450 amu. The ion source and transfer line were 200 °C and 250 °C, respectively.

Concentrations of higher alcohols (isobutyl, isoamyl and amyl alcohol, 1-propanol), esters (ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate), methanol, and acetaldehyde were determined using a head space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME), followed by gas chromatography. First, 10 mL of the juice sample was mixed with 1 mL of 2-pentanol as an internal standard (20 mg/L). Then, to extract the volatile compounds, a poly dimethylsiloxane/Divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fiber (Supelco, PA, USA) was used. A 1.7 mL sample was placed into a 5 mL headspace vial and 0.49 g of sodium chloride was added. After 5 min of equilibration at 25°C and agitation of 1,200 rpm, the fiber was inserted into the headspace and the solution was swirled in a magnetic stirrer at 12,000 rpm and 60°C for 30 min. The fiber was then transferred to the injector for desorption at 270°C for 15 min. Gas chromatography analysis was performed on a Shimadzu Plus 2010 GC system equipped with a flame ionization detector, using a DB-1301 column (60 m, 0.250 mm, film thickness, 1 μm, Agilent). The oven temperature was programmed at 40°C for 16 min, followed by a gradual increase of temperature at a rate of 5°C/min up to 60°C, and then raised to 260°C at a rate of 70°C/min. The gas carrier was hydrogen at a flow rate of 2.0 mL/min.

SPME-GC Headspace Sampling in Vacuum

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SPME polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/ DVB) fiber with a 65-µm-thick coating was purchased from Supelco (Bellefonte, PA). The fiber was conditioned before the initial use, as recommended by the manufacturer. The HS sampling procedure was as follows: a cap-sealed (silicon/ PTFE lined alumina cap) 22 ml vial containing the sample was kept at 50 °C for 10 min in an aluminum heating block (IKA RCT, Model B). Afterwards, the SPME fiber was exposed to the sample for 30 min at 50 °C. After sampling, the compounds on the fiber were thermally desorbed in the GC injection port. The sample was cheese or standard compounds in water, depending on the experiment.
For the vacuum experiments prior to the analyses the pressure was lowered at room temperature by removing 20 ml of air from the sealed vial using a 30 cc MICRO-MATE interchangeable glass syringe from Popper and Sons, Inc. (New York, USA). Unlike at ambient pressure, SPME was used in vacuum sampling Mininert closures, as described in [10] . Because of the nature of the matrix for analyses, cheese was closed in the vial, capped and then air was evacuated with a syringe. Usually for liquid matrices, first the air was evacuated from the vial, then the (liquid) sample was introduced [8] .
