Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometric detection (GC×GC-TOF-MS) is a modern analytical technique used in many fields. This technique enables an effective separation of volatile chemical compounds [1]. In recent years, the topic of healthy food and healthy living has become very popular. For this reason, more and more scientific publications related to the analysis of food products are emerging. These publications concern the study of the characteristics of the composition of food samples and the examination of their fragrance. With the intensity of smell and hedonic quality, man can determine the nutritional value of a food product. The aim of the study was to characterize the headspace phase of three exotic fruits using GC×GC-TOF-MS. The study was conducted on three exotic fruits Cucumis metuliferus, Actinidia deliciosa and Musa paradisiaca. The scent and aroma of Cucumis metuliferus fruit is similar to that of Actinidia deliciosa and Musa paradisiaca, which means that Cucumis metuliferus may be a pseudohybrid. This fact makes it possible to find similarities between these fruits. The identified chemical compounds were divided into classes, and it was found which groups of chemicals were responsible for the hedonic quality of the fruit odor and the content of the chemical compounds in the fruit volatile fraction. It has been verified which of the compounds with the highest peak area identified in the fruit Cucumis metuliferus are found in A. deliciosa and M.paradisica.
