As one would expect, the range of maximum peaks observed for each of the VOCs was quite wide (Fig.
2). In fact, the least maximum concentration measured with a value of 170 was the maximum amount of
Ethanol liberated from a ripe mango. Whereas the most maximum concentration measured was the amount
of Decanal liberated from an unripe mango. It is not quite obvious from the graph, γ-Terpinene is the
prominent VOC among the ripe mangoes, whereas Decanal and α-Terpinolene are the most prominent VOCs
among the unripe mangoes. While α-Terpinolene was never observed in the ripe mangoes, Decanal was
observed in all ripe samples; but with a drastic decrease in value. Values of γ-Terpinene and Decanal in the
data acquired indicated that the value of Decanal among the unripe samples is always (much) more than the
value of its corresponding γ-Terpinene value for each of the samples.
