Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruit, one of the most
important antioxidant sources, is also rich in volatile component
content. Four hybrid genotypes were used as material for this study.
Those varieties were selected as promising varieties in breeding
programme that carried out in Institute of Aegean Agricultural
Research. It was aimed to determine the volatile constituents of the
flavors of ‘Type 18’, ‘Type 19’, ‘Type 38’ and ‘Type 40’ by comparing
of İ-1513 which is considered as standard variety. Volatile component
contents of fruits of each genotype were extracted by using diethyl
ether solvent for liquid–liquid extractions. The amounts and
identifications of the volatile compounds of extracted samples
determined with a gas chromatograph–mass spectrometer. According to
the obtained results, a total of 54 volatile compounds were determined
in total pomegranate aroma profiles, including 14 alcohols, 14 esters,
8 terpenes, 8 aldehydes, 5 ketones, 3 saturated hydrocarbons and 2
phenols. ‘Farnesyl Acetate’ and ‘Limonene’ were found as important
volatiles in Type 19 and Type 18, respectively. Those genotypes should
be considered for both of table consumption and processing for fruit
juice, in terms of aroma.
