This study was carried out to determine the aromatic profiles of volatile compounds in the pulp of 'Abbas' fig variety by SPME headspace methods for (CAR/PDMS, PDMS, CAR/PDMS/DVB) procedure for GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) technique. The volatile compounds are known to contain different biochemical substances that can be classified as aldehydes, alcohols, esters, terpenic compounds and other compounds. According to the results of current study, pulp of the 'Abbas' fig variety was found to include twenty-five different volatile compounds. The dominant volatile compounds in dried figs are aldehydes and esters. Total esters were found to be higher than other classes of compounds. Among other compounds, detected in volatiles of the pulps were 1-hydroxy-2-propanone (CAS), isocaproic acid, benzaldehyde, 2-ethyl-Hexanol, and pentyl-alpha-furoate.
