2022

A large number of apple varieties (35) from the same germplasm were investigated over two consecutive harvest years. A total of 39 volatile compounds were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS, and quantified by external standards. Principal component analysis was applied to study the relationship between varieties and volatiles. To obtain better discrimination, 23 of 35 apple varieties were classified into four cultivars and good classification could be observed by partial least squares discriminant analysis. Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, 2-methyl-1-butanol, Z-3-hexenyl acetate, E-2-hexen-1-ol, linalool and dodecanol were the most important variables to discriminate apple cultivars. Based on the volatile concentration and thresholds, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, hexanal, 1-hexanol, E-2-nonenal and linalool were the critical characterized odor-active compounds among 35 apple varieties over two harvest years. From the present work, seasonal effects greatly influenced the formation of volatiles.
