Free and Bound Aroma Compounds of Turnjujube (Hovenia acerba Lindl.) during Low Temperature Storage.

ABSTRACT: Free and bound aroma volatiles from turnjujube during low temperature storage were extracted by headspace solid-phase microextraction. They were then characterized and identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Turnjujube was harvested and stored for 7, 14, and 21 days at 7 °C, the common temperature of display refrigerators in grocery stores. The results showed that 41 free and 24 bound aroma compounds were detected for the first time in turnjujube in both freshly harvested and stored turnjujube. The free and bound aroma compounds of turnjujube were markedly influenced by the storage time. The major free aroma compounds in turnjujube included esters, alcohols, aliphatic aldehydes, and aliphatic ketones. The major bound aroma compounds included borneol, eugenol, and isoeugenol,
