Volatolomic analysis applied to farm animals. III. : Volatile compounds emitted through skin of cattle

• Volatolomics opens new possibilities for the study of biological systems. Volatility distribution of highly-and semi-volatile organic compounds emitted through the skin of cattle was studied. Samples were collected from farm animals in three regions of Romania, namely Ramnicu Valcea, Bistrita Nasaud and Constanta. Special procedures for sample collection, storage, transportation and analysis were developed. About 62 -68 % of organic compounds emitted through skin had the volatility in the boiling point range of n-C(10 )ormal paraffin (151-174 degrees C) and another 16-18 % was in the range of n-C-11- n-C-12 (174-216 degrees C). Only slight variations were observed among samples collected from different geographical regions.
