Abstract:

In this study, aroma components of the inflorescence of Pyrus sinkiangensis Yü. cv. ‘Korla Xiangli’ were
analyzed by using headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry (GC-MS). The aroma components of bud and blossom were enriched by using a PDMS and a CAR/PDMS
SPME fiber, respectively, separated using gas chromatography by stepwise temperature programming, monitored by
mass spectrometry using electron ionization source, qualified by mass spectral library retrieval, and quantitated by an area
normalization method. The optimum extraction conditions were determined as follows: 4 g of samples were extracted for
25 min at 40 ℃. A total of 69 aroma components, including esters, alcohols, oleic acid and other compounds, were identified
from different flowering stages. This method can be used to determine aroma components of Pyrus sinkiangensis Yü.
cv.‘Korla Xiangli’ inflorescence owning to simple sample pretreatment, good repeatability and short analysis time.

Key words: headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Pyrus sinkiangensis Yü. cv. ‘Korla Xiangli&rsquo, inflorescence, aroma
