In this study, 2-DCB and 2-dDCB were extracted from nutmeg of five different origins using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). A 50-kGy irradiated sample was used to optimise the parameters of SFE and solid-phase extraction. The irradiated samples were analysed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, whereas the non-irradiated samples were analysed with high-resolution gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Both 2-DCB and 2-dDCB were detected and identified in the irradiated samples at 5 kGy or greater. However, neither was present in the non-irradiated samples. Moreover, although the concentrations of 2-DCB and 2-dDCB were significantly reduced, a positive identification was obtained in irradiated nutmeg even after 30 weeks of storage.}, pages = {359--365}, title = {Identification of 2-alkylcyclobutanones in nutmeg (Myristica fragrans)}, volume = {134}, year = {2012} }
