Changes in Volatile Compounds of ‘Hayward’ Kiwifruit During Storage

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the aroma profiles of fresh ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit during different cold storage periods, using the SPME method in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Cold storage duration significantly influenced the accumulation of volatile and major aroma compounds. After three months, 1-hexanol, a main aroma component, increased by 66.7% before exhibiting a slight decline. The concentration of 2-hexen-1-ol (E) increased by 170% in the third month, then returned to nearly its initial level by the fifth month. Conversely, 2-hexanal steadily declined, decreasing by nearly 81% by the fifth month. Similarly, 3-hexen-1-ol (Z) increased by approximately 100% after three months, but subsequently decreased by 75% in the fifth month. Notably, ethanol and acetic acid ethyl ester, initially undetected, rapidly accumulated during storage, reaching 4.38% in the third month and 22.40% in the fifth month. Total alcohol content increased steadily, rising from 6.99% to 15.85% and further to 48.10%. Total esters showed the most significant increase, rising from 0.99% to 31.49% by month five. In contrast, total aldehyde content decreased from 80.56% (0M) to 28.19% (5M). Ketones and terpenes, initially undetected, emerged during storage, reaching 0.30% and 24.07% by month five, respectively. These results indicate significant alterations in the aroma profiles, potentially impacting the aroma quality of kiwifruits during extended storage.

Hayward’ Kivi Çeşidinin Aroma Bileşiklerinde Depolama Sırasında Meydana Gelen Değişimler

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ‘Hayward’ kivi çeşidi meyvelerinin farklı soğuk depolama süreleri boyunca aroma profillerini karşılaştırmaktır. Çalışmada, GC-MS (Gaz Kromatografisi-Kütle Spektrometresi) ile birlikte SPME yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Soğuk depolama süresi, uçucu bileşiklerin ve temel aroma bileşiklerinin birikimini önemli önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Üçüncü aydan sonra, başlıca aroma bileşenlerinden biri olan 1-hexanol, %66,7 oranında artış göstermiş, ardından hafif bir düşüş kaydetmiştir. Benzer şekilde, 2-hexen-1-ol (E) üçüncü ayda %170 oranında artış göstermiş, ancak beşinci ayda başlangıç seviyelerine akın bir düzeye gerilemiştir. Buna karşılık, 2-hexanal beşinci aya kadar sürekli bir düşüş göstermiş ve toplamda %81 oranında azalma kaydetmiştir. Aynı şekilde, 3-hexen-1-ol (Z) üçüncü aydan sonra yaklaşık %100 oranında artmış, ancak beşinci ayda %75 oranında düşüş göstermiştir. Başlangıçta tespit edilemeyen etanol ve etil asetik, depolama sırasında hızla birikmiş ve üçüncü ayda sırasıyla %4.38 ve beşinci ayda %22.40 seviyelerine ulaşmıştır. Toplam alkol içeriği istikrarlı artış göstererek, %6.99’dan üçüncü ayda %15.85’e ve beşinci ayda %48.10’a yükselmiştir. Toplam ester miktarı ise en belirgin artışı göstererek, beşinci ayda %0.99’dan %31.49’a yükselmiştir. Buna karşılık, toplam aldehit miktarı depolama süresince %80.56’dan (0.ay) seviyesinden %28.19’a (5.ay) düşmüştür. Başlangıçta tespit edilemeyen ketonlar ve terpenler, depolama sırasında ortaya çıkmış ve sırasıyla üçüncü ayda %0,30 ve beşinci ayda ise %24,07 seviyelerine ulaşmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, aroma profillerinde önemli değişikliklere işaret etmekte ve kivi meyvelerinin uzun süreli depolama sırasında aroma kalitesini önemli ölçüde etkileyebileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
