Abstract: Odorous compounds in the pulp and skin of finger citron fruits were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and purge and trap (P&T) with Tenax TA absorbent. A total of 44 and 45 odorous compounds were detected from the flesh (A) and peel (B) of Jinghua-grown finger citron (JFC) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively. The results showed that HS-SPME and P&T method could be used complementarily in the identification of odorous compounds in finger citron fruits. Furthermore, 43 and 40 odorous compounds with high similarity were extracted by HS-SPME from A and B and detected by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography combined with quadrupole-mass spectrometry (GC × GC-qMS), respectively. Additionally, there are 23 odorous compounds with odor activity value (OAV) > 1. The major contributors to JFC aroma were identified as limonene, linalool, terpinolene, α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, γ-terpinene, ethyl octanoate, geraniol, citral, leaf alcohol, etc. by partial least squares regression (PLSR).

Key words: fresh finger citron, odorous compounds, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), purge and trap (P&T), partial least squares regression (PLSR), comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC)
