Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra Sieb. et Zucc.) is one of the most popular and valuable fruits in China because of its unique and exquisite flavor. In this study, headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and olfactometry (GC-MS-O) analyses were used to characterize the aroma-active profiles of the fruits from three different bayberry cultivars. The aim was to differentiate the bayberry cultivars by their aroma. Fifty-five volatile,components, composed of aldehydes (10), alcohols (9), esters (8), terpenes (17), and others (11), were identified by optimized HS-SPME/GC-MS. Meanwhile, 36 aromaactive compounds were detected by olfactometry using detection frequency analysis (DFA). Hexanal (grasslike), (E)-2-hexenal (green), nonanal (fruit, flower), 1-hexanol (flower), and isocaryophillene (wood) were identified mall three cultivars. Further principal component analysis (PCA) of the active aromas revealed their contributions to the odor differences among the bayberry cultivar groups. The BQbayberry was characterized by having a stronger "herb" odor, which is mainly caused by benzoic acid and methyl ester. DK bayberry had a stronger "grass" odor, which is mainly caused by 2,6-dimethy1-2,4,6-octatriene, while FHZ bayberry had a stronger "pine" odor, which is caused mainly by a-pinene. The GC-MS-O and electronic nose techniques, when combined with PCA, could be used to successfully distinguish between different bayberry cultivars. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
