The composition of the volatile components from unripe (I) and ripe (II) Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) have been investigated. Seventy-six volatile components were identified, 25 for the first time as volatile constituents of Japanese apricot. The main components were benzaldehyde (I, 59.16%; II, 1.81%), isolongifololyl acetate (II, 19.21%), palmitic acid (I, trace; 10.22%), linalool (I, 9.93%; II, 7.34%), and butyl acetate (II, 8.30%). Unripe Japanese apricot have a green colour due to the main components being aldehydes. On the contrary, ripe Japanese apricot had a fruity note due to the increase of the ratio of esters during ripening.
对未成熟(I)和成熟(II)日本甜樱桃(Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.)的挥发性成分进行了研究。鉴定出 76 种挥发性成分,其中 25 种为日本甜樱桃挥发性成分的首次发现。主要成分是苯甲醛(I,59.16%;II,1.81%)、异长叶烯醇乙酸酯(II,19.21%)、棕榈酸(I,痕量;10.22%)、芳樟醇(I,9.93%;II,7.34%)和乙酸丁酯(II,8.30%)。未成熟的日本甜樱桃由于主要成分是醛类,所以呈绿色。相反,由于成熟过程中酯类比例的增加,成熟的日本甜樱桃具有水果味。
