The composition of volatile organic compounds contributes to fruit fl avour and is an important element of fruit quality. Berries of sixteen cultivars and female clones of Actinidia kolomikta were studied by GC-MS with headspace solid phase microextraction method. In total, 89 compounds were separated and identifi ed. These compounds were classifi ed as terpenes, esters, alcohols, aldehydes, anhydrides, diazoles, hydrocarbons, and ketones. Among volatile organic compounds, esters were the most abundant. Signifi cant differences in the diversity of volatile organic compounds were found among A. kolomikta cultivars and clones. Based on these results, we selected potential accessions for the breeding of new cultivars. Summarising the results of this study, the accessions of A. kolomikta were grouped according to the main fl avour compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
