Abstract: The aroma components from Tarocco blood orange juice were extracted by solid phase microextraction. The aromatic compounds were analyzed by GC-MS and identified by mass spectra and retention indices. There were 39 compounds identifiedand the percent of the total peak areas was 87.23%. The major constituents are: hydrocarbons 55.13%, esters 13.67%, alcohols 13.17%, aldehydes 4.59% and ketones 0.67%. Limonene is of the highest content 50.40%, followed by ethyl butanoate 7.67%, ethanol 5.38%, ethyl 3-hydroxyhexanoate 3.92%, hexanal 3.73%, linalool 3.32%, β-myrcene 1.87%,α-Terpineol 1.50%, valencene 1.50%, and ethyl hexanoate 1.50%.
