Abstract: This study was aimed to analyze the main volatile compounds and aroma profiles of a liquor made from the juice of Guanxi honey pomelo (Citrus grandix). The volatiles were analyzed by headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HP-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector-olfactory (GC-FID-O). In addition, the aroma profile was measured using sensory evaluation. A total of 40 volatile components, including 8 alcohols, 14 esters, 10 terpenes and 8 others, were identified from the liquor. The quantitative analysis showed that the main volatile components were ethyl caprate (744.73 μg/L), ethyl caproate (524.74 μg/L) and ethyl laurate (193.42 μg/L). Sensory evaluation showed that fruity and citrus-like notes were the main odors of the liquor. The GC-olfactory analysis indicated that D-limonene, ethyl valerate and ethyl caproate were the main aroma-active components. These results provide an experimental basis for future studies on the aroma of wine and liquor products made from pomelo and other citrus fruits.

Key words: pomelo juice, liquor, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), olfactory, aroma, volatile components
