Description
This analysis aims to compare the molecular structures of organic substances in a freeze dried Cosmic apple and a fresh cosmic apple. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) were used to analyze the extracted compounds. The results revealed notable differences in the chemical composition of the apples. These findings suggest that the freeze drying process may alter specific compounds, such as flavor molecules, aroma related components, and volatile organic substances, potentially impacting the sensory qualities of this specific apple.
