Flowers of Fuji Apple: Volatile Components Analysis

doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb18010070

Abstract

Abstract: The paper aims to discuss the relationship between volatile components and pollination insects by learning about volatile components of Fuji apple flowers, and to provide a research basis for bee pollination on apple. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied to measure and analyze the volatile components of live flowers after anther dehiscence during apple blossom; and a quantitative analysis was conducted with the method of area normalization. The results showed that: 31 kinds of volatile components were identified from Fuji apple flowers, including 4 kinds of alcohols (76.05%), 4 kinds of aromatic hydrocarbons (5.36%), 1 kind of nitrile (neryl nitrile, 4.6%), 10 kinds of alkanes (4.54%), 7 kinds of esters (3.86%), 3 kinds of terpene (3.71%), 1 kind of aldehydes (nonanal, 1.67% ), 1 kinds of acids (Dodecanoic acid, 0.21% ). Benzyl alcohol had the highest content in alcohols, accounted for 49.74%, followed by linalool (17.9%), (Z )-3-Hexen-1-ol (7.82%) and cedrol (0.59%). Terpene components included 1,3,6- Octatriene, 3,7- dimethyl- ,(Z ), caryophyllene and alpha.- farnesene, and the content of 1,3,6-Octatriene, 3,7-dimethyl-,(Z ) (2.69%) was the highest in terpene. Benzyl alcohol, (Z )-cis-3-hexene-1-alcohol, linalool, neryl nitrile were the main volatile components in Fuji apple flowers.
