Aroma Compounds of Pepino (Solanum muricatum) Fruit
Abstract
In this study, the aroma composition of cv. Miski pepino (Solanum muricatum) fruit was investigated. The aroma compounds present in the fruit were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction method with the use of dichloromethane as a solvent. Gas chromatography was used for quantification and GC-mass spectrometry was used for the identification of aroma compounds. According to the results of GC-MS analysis; a total of 50 aroma compounds were identified including 12 alcohols, 7 ketones, 3 lactones, 8 aldehydes, 12 volatile acids, 7 esters and a terpene. Total amount of aroma compounds was calculated as 12 893 µg/kg. In these compounds, acids are the most dominant volatile compounds followed by esters and aldehydes. Esters are important aroma compounds responsible for fruity aroma. Butyl acetate, 4pentyl acetate and methyl-3-methyl-2-butanoate are the quantitatively prominent ester compounds respectively in cv. Miski pepino.
