Abstract: | "This study investigated the free and glycosidic-bound volatiles in the juice samples of three tamarillo cultivars (i.e. Amber, Mulligan, and Laird's Large) that are widely grown in New Zealand. Juice samples were prepared from fruits at different ripening stages (green, middle, and ripe). Headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was applied to analyze the free volatiles in the samples. A total of 20 free volatiles were detected. Among the samples, the ripe Mulligan juice gave the highest contents of free terpenoids (424 mug/L) and esters (691 mug/L). The glycosidic-bound volatiles were prepared by solid-phase extraction. The matrix effect was evaluated based on the recovery rate of analytes containing multiple aglycone classes. From the results, phenyl beta-d-glucopyranoside was selected to compensate the matrix effect caused by insufficient acquisition of glycosidic volatiles during analyte preparation. In all the ripe-fruit juice samples, the aglycones 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone and trans-2, cis-6-nonadienal were found to give high odor activity values. According to multivariate statistical analysis, 11 free volatiles and 22 glycosidic volatiles could be potentially applied as volatile makers to distinguish the juice samples. This study has provided a comprehensive understanding of the flavor chemistry of tamarillo juices, with a focus on the potential role of glycosidic aglycones as aroma contributors to tamarillo products" |
