Abstract: The aim of this work was to determine the optimal conditions for the analysis of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) from the common food spoilage fungus Aspergillus carbonarius. The volatile compounds were extracted by solid phase microextraction (SPME) and detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).The influences of extraction fiber, time and temperature were examined. The optimized conditions for SPME were determined as follows: 60 min of extraction at 60 ℃ with 50/30 μm DVB/CAR/PDMS extraction fiber. Under these conditions, 32 MVOCs including 1 aldehyde, 1 ketone, 2 alcohols, 6 esters, 10 sesquiterpenes, 11 hydrocarbons and 1 cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride were detected. Based on the sensory characteristics of these MVOCs, A. carbonarius showed outstanding mushroom-like and hydrocarbon odor.
