Fruit pulp (200 g) was blended with 100 mL of distilled water,
and, after 5 min, dichloromethane (600 mL) was added, and the
mixture was cooled in an ice bath. Sodium sulphate (300 g) was
added in small portion and this was followed with continuous
stirring and cooling. The mixture was filtered through defatted
cotton wool, and the solid was washed with another portion of dichloromethane (200 mL). The combined organic phases were subjected to solvent-assisted flavour extraction (SAFE) distillation
(Engel, Bahr, & Schieberle, 1999) at 40 C, and the organic phase
was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated to
1mL (Lasekan, Buettner, & Christlbuaer, 2007).
