Volatile Compounds in Mango Flowers and Fruits Analyzed by SPME-GC-MS

A comparative analysis of volatile organic compounds in flowers, unripe, and ripe fruits of different mango cultivars. The dataset, authored by David Alavez, was published on figshare in April 2026. It contains results from SPME-GC-MS analysis, revealing ecological and chemical diversity.

Use Cases

• Compare chemical profiles between mango cultivars based on volatile compound data.
• Analyze differences in volatile compounds across fruit development stages (flower, unripe, ripe).
• Identify potential ecological or taxonomic markers based on chemical diversity.
• Model relationships between volatile compound signatures and fruit maturity.

Strengths

• Data is openly accessible under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Analysis performed using a specific, standardized method (SPME-GC-MS).
• Covers multiple sample types (flowers, unripe fruit, ripe fruit) for comparison.

Limitations

• Dataset size is 432.8 KB, indicating a limited scope or small sample size.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
