Safety thresholds
Guava products → are → safe to consume
“Microbial examination revealed that the product is safe to consume.”
What science says
“γ-butyrolactone (7.6%)”
γ-butyrolactone → is a major constituent → headspace of guava fruit
“β-caryophyllene (24.1%)”
β-caryophyllene → is a major constituent → hydrodistilled oil of guava fruit
“nerolidol (17.3%)”
nerolidol → is a major constituent → hydrodistilled oil of guava fruit
“γ-butyrolactone (7.6%) in the headspace SPME and nerolidol (17.6%) in the oil. In addition some compounds such as (Z)-3-hexenal, (E,E)-2,4-hexadienal, γ-butyrolactone, borneol, phenol, cuminyl alcohol could be identified only by the headspace method (SPME).”
γ-butyrolactone → is identified for the first time → headspace of guava fruit
