Elucidation of Endogenous Aroma Compounds in Tamarillo (Solanum betaceum) Using a Molecular Sensory Approach

Glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs) are flavorless compounds in fruits and may undergo hydrolysis during fruit maturation, storage, and processing, releasing free aglycones that are odor active. However, the contribution of glycosidic aglycones to the sensory attributes of fruits remains unclear. Herein, the key odor-active aglycones in tamarillo fruits were elucidated through the molecular sensory approach. We extracted GBVs from three...
