Abstract
Headspace volatile compounds of mold-susceptible and mold-resistant so rghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] grains were determined. The concen trations of volatile compounds in mold-susceptible sorghum were higher than those of mold-resistant sorghum. Among the 10 compounds that wer e identified, 2-methylbutanal was severalfold higher in the mold-susce ptible sorghum than in the mold-resistant sorghum. A comparison of vol atile compounds of mold-susceptible grains-obtained from greenhouse-gr own sorghum (mold-free) with those of field-grown sorghum:indicated th e possibility of a large contribution of volatile compounds from funga l organisms.
