Characteristic of volatile flavor compounds in ‘Fengtangli’ plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) were explored based on GC×GC-TOF MS by Xianfeng Hu, Deyan Li, Yi Ding, Yubo Zhang, Chunguang Ren

“…Moreover, the sensorial attributes of sweetness, citrus, herbal, floral, and fruity notes were more prominent in ‘Fengtangli’ plum relative to those of ‘Siyueli’ plum. Through the integration of differential metabolite analysis and relative odor activity assessment, it is hypothesized that furan-2-pentyl; (E)-2-octenal; and 1-octen-3-one may represent the characteristic of volatile flavor compounds in ‘Fengtangli’ plum.DiscussionThe research results may provide a theoretical reference for the development and application of ‘Fengtangli’ plum and the study of the synthesis mechanism of characteristic flavor compounds.…”
