Banana (Musa sp.) ranks fourth in term of worldwide fruit production, and has economical and nutritional key values. The Cavendish cultivars correspond to more than 90% of the production of dessert banana while cooking cultivars are widely consumed locally around the banana belt production area. Many plants, if not all, produce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as a means of communication with their environment. Although flower and fruit VOCs have been studied for banana, the VOCs produced by the plant have never been identified despite their importance in plant health and development. A volatile collection methodology was optimized to improve the sensitivity and reproducibility of VOCs analysis from banana plants. We have identified 11 VOCs for the Cavendish, mainly (E, E)-alpha-farnesene (87.90 +/- 11.28 ng/mu l), methyl salicylate (33.82 +/- 14.29) and 6-methyl-5-hepten- 2-one (29.60 +/- 11.66), and 14 VOCs for the Pacific Plantain cultivar, mainly (Z, E)-alpha-farnesene (799.64 +/- 503.15), (E, E)-alpha-farnesene (571.24 +/- 381.70) and (E) beta ocimene (241.76 +/- 158.49). This exploratory study paves the way for an in-depth characterisation of VOCs emitted by Musa plants.
