Abstract:

Volatile compounds were analyzed in purple tomato fruits from four different varieties by using headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the characteristics of major aroma components were discussed. Results indicated that 65 volatile compounds were isolated and identified, mainly including ketones, aldehyde, esters, and alcohols. Totally 21 volatile components responsible for the unique flavor were common to these four varieties; however, their contents were different. In addition, each variety had its own unique volatile components.

Key words: purple tomato, volatile compounds, headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME), gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS)
