Effect of Different Harvest Time and Microwave Aging on Aroma Characteristics of Japanese Apricot Wine.

ABSTRACT: The aroma and nutrition of Japanese apricot fruit change continuously as the fruit ripens. The differences in fruit aroma and nutrition can affect the resulting wine, which is produced by steeping the Japanese apricot fruit. In this study, we used HS-SPME-GC-MS to examine the aromatic compositions of Japanese apricot fruit and wine produced from its macerated fruit at different levels of ripeness. We employed UPLC to examine the nutritional components such as organic acids, amygdalin, and phenolics to support the identification of the optimal ripening time. The microwave aging technology was also used to treat the steeped mume wine in order to explore the optimal conditions for microwave aging. We found that the optimum aroma period for the 'Nannong Longxia' fruit was 81 d after flowering.
