Variability of volatile aroma composition in apricot fruits
Résumé
Volatile compounds of ripe fruits from 12 apricot cultivars were extracted by CH2Cl2 and then identified and quantified by GC/MS. Among the 23 volatile compounds analysed, only 1-phenylethanol showed no significant differences (P≤0.01) between varieties. Significant differences in the relative contributions of various pathways were observed among cultivars.
