The effect of post-harvest ripening by ethylene and calcium carbide was studied by headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatog. mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) method. Sapota (sapodilla) fruits were ripened with ethylene gas, tech. grade calcium carbide and pure calcium carbide ripeners and the samples were homogenised after complete ripening. The samples were subjected to HS-SPME-GC-MS and the obtained results showed the presence of various alcs., aldehydes, acids, ketones and esters which were commonly present in the samples. The fruit samples ripened with tech. grade calcium carbide showed the presence of 3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-trithiolane isomers, which can be used as markers to identify sapota fruits ripened with tech. grade calcium carbide. The tech. grade calcium carbide contains divinyl sulfide which might have been transformed into the trithiolane isomers. These isomers were not observed in the fruits ripened with pure calcium carbide and also with ethylene gas. Hence the formation of trithiolane residues may be attributed to the presence of divinyl sulfide impurity present in calcium carbide and its conversion due to the action of ethylene releasing enzymes present in the fruits.
