The study aimed to detect aroma profiles of 20 apricot genotypes such as ‘Turfanda Eski Malatya’, ‘Karacabey’, ‘Paviot’, ‘Zerdali No.1’, ‘Aprikoz’, ‘Soganci’, ‘Hasanbey’, ‘Roxana’, ‘Royal’, ‘Sekerpare’, ‘Cataloglu’, ‘Kabaasi’, ‘Stark Early Orange’ (SEO), ‘Sakit-3’, ‘Hacihaliloglu’, ‘Iri Bitirgen’, ‘Casna Drenova’, ‘Cologlu’, ‘Ordubat’, ‘Imrahor’ which are grown at the Apricot Research Station in Malatya province, Turkey. Aroma compounds of the cultivars were identified using gas chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometry (MS). Extraction was done auto-matically using the headspace apparatus of the gas chromatography-mass spectro-metry (GC/MS). According to the results aroma composition of apricot genotypes varied from genotype to genotype. Among the detected aroma compounds, 12 alcohols, 8 aldehydes, 4 esters, 3 terpenes, 2 lactones, 2 ketones, 2 acids and 3 other compounds were identified and γ-decalactone was detected as the major compound in ‘Hacıhaliloğlu’ which is our local and leading cultivar.
