Food matrix composition is an important factor affecting the release of aroma compounds. In the present study, four key aroma compounds (namely, hexanal, nonanal, (E)-2-nonenal, and acetophenone) were quantified in watermelon juice by stable isotope dilution assay. Using Raman spectroscopy and ¹H NMR, it was found that hexanal, nonanal, and (E)-2-nonenal combine with fructose via hydrogen bonds, whereas acetophenone interact with fructose via π-π interaction. Entropy compensation at higher temperatures may explain the decrease in the contents of hexanal, nonanal, and (E)-2-nonenal released from the system. In contrast, the decrease in the contents of these aroma compounds by H₂O₂ might be due to the formation of a greater number of hydrogen bonds with carboxyl groups oxidized by aldehydes. This study contributes to further the understanding on the interaction between aroma compounds and fructose, thus offering practical insights on the regulation and control of flavor development in watermelon juice.
