Strawberry is one of the most popular fruits in the world because of its good organoleptic characteristics, as its aroma is a complex characteristic that significantly contributes to fruit quality. In the present work, we performed a comparative study of the differences in the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contents and the enzymic activity and gene expression of alc. acyltransferases (AATs) in four strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cultivars (Camarosa, Cristal,Monterey and Portola). In the four cultivars esters were the most important group among the observed VOCs; however in terms of differences in concentration, the Monterey and Portola cultivars showed the highest ester concentrations, while Cristal showed the lowest, and Camarosa showed an intermediate concentration With respect to the mRNAs of the genes encoding two enzymes (SAAT and FaAAT2), we observed higher transcript levels in the Monterrey and Portola cultivars than in the other two cultivars (Cristal and Camarosa). Finally, the results suggested a temporal relationship exists between total AAT activities, VOCs contents and mRNA gene expression, which could be valuable for future breeding activities. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Octyl acetate (cas: 112-14-1Reference of 112-14-1).
Octyl acetate (cas: 112-14-1) belongs to esters. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits, including apples, durians, pears, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Reference of 112-14-1
