| Abstract:
The aroma compounds of melon fruits play a crucial role in commercial value. Aroma characterization of the ‘Flavor No. 3’ melon was detected using headspace- solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results suggested that esters and ketones were the main aroma compositions, as more than 70% of the total volatile compounds yield, and the remains were alcohols, aldehydes, and others. 4-Hydroxy- 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (23.25%), pentadecanoic acid methyl ester (8.17%), and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid butyl 2-methylpropyl ester (6.26%) presented as major compounds in the ‘Flavor No. 3’ fruit pulp. | |
