The Volatolome of Chromhidrosis

This study investigates the volatolome in an individual with chromhidrosis, utilizing solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and pentane extraction, followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to identify key volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A total of 31 compounds were identified, inclu...

description This study investigates the volatolome in an individual with chromhidrosis, utilizing solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and pentane extraction, followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to identify key volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A total of 31 compounds were identified, including aldehydes, fatty acid esters, and benzoic acid derivatives. SPME was more effective in capturing highly volatile compounds, while pentane extraction primarily isolated lipophilic substances such as squalene and cholesterol. The findings suggest that lipid peroxidation and metabolic dysregulation contribute to the formation of lipofuscin, the pigment responsible for colored sweat. Additionally, the detection of 9-octadecenamide and benzoic acid derivatives highlights the role of oxidative processes in chromhidrosis.
