Summary: Fruit aroma is crucial for consumer preference and acceptance of fruit products. Free volatile organic compounds (FVOCs) and glycosidically bound volatile compounds (GBVs) play different roles through biosynthesis and hydrolysis processes. Regulation of aroma compounds in fruit has practical applications for improving sensory attributes.

Summary: This study examines the diversity of flavor-related traits in date palms, including volatile organic compounds, organic acids, and sugars, and discovers new volatile compounds previously unknown in date palms. The correlations between volatile composition and sugar and moisture content suggest that differences in these traits among fruits may be a result of system-wide differences in fruit metabolism. Utilizing date palm clones, the study estimates the broad-sense heritabilities of volatiles and demonstrates that some of the volatile diversity has a genetic basis.

Summary: This study investigated the extraction and analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Eugenia klotzschiana O. Berg fruit pulp, and identified the compounds responsible for its aroma. The most efficient fiber sorbent for headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was found to be PDMS/DVB. A total of 38 compounds, including sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes, were identified in the aroma.

Summary: Transcriptome sequencing and HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis were used to study the differentially expressed genes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in spicy and non-spicy pepper fruits. The results showed that fatty acid biosynthesis and terpenoid biosynthesis may be the main metabolic pathways for aroma differences between these two types of fruits. The differential expression of genes related to fatty acid biosynthesis and key terpene synthesis genes may contribute to the different aroma. The findings provide references for the development of high-aroma pepper germplasm resources and breeding of new varieties.

Summary: Abundant volatile compounds play a significant role in fruit aroma across various plant species. The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) regulates the biosynthesis of volatiles such as aldehydes and alcohols, with the transcription factor MdMYC2 being identified as a key regulator in this process. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms by which JA influences volatile biosynthesis in fruit.

Summary: We proposed an aroma correlation assisted volatilome coupled network analysis strategy to study Rosa roxburghii and discovered various aroma-active volatiles. The predominant aromas in R. roxburghii were found to be contributed by a series of homologous C6-and C8-acids, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, and terpenoids. Two aroma-active and aroma-contributing volatile groups, acid-aldehyde-alcohol-ester and terpenoid groups, were identified with the network analysis. Furthermore, the accumulation of C6-and C8-family homologous aliphatic volatiles was explained with linoleic and linolenic acid derived pathways. This strategy is practical for investigating the main aroma-active volatiles based on volatilome.

Summary: Dark chocolate coated raisins treated with extra virgin olive oil showed increased concentrations of flavan-3-ols and proanthocyanidins compared to just raisins. The chocolate coating also led to the emergence of new compounds. This combination resulted in a dark chocolate coated raisin with good sensory acceptance and a more complex phenolic composition, potentially positively contributing to its functional quality.
