Abstract: The aromatic compositions of five breeds of litchi were analyzed by SPME/GC-MS methods. The results indicated that the differences of aromatic constituents in composition and relative content in five breeds of litchi were significant . 58, 57, 47, 28 and 39 kinds of aromatic components were identified fro‘mfeizixiao’‘,heiye’‘,baila’‘,lizhiwang’ and ‘yuhebao’respectively. 1-methoxy-2-propanol, acetoin, 3-methyl-2-heptanol, 1-hepten-3-ol, linalool, 2-ethyl-2-butenal, β-pinene, limonene, valencene etc were identified in all five breeds, but their relative contents showed considerable differences. In addition, every breed of litchi has its particular aromatic components.
