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. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Methyl2-methylbutyrate (cas: 868-57-5HPLC of Formula: 868-57-5).
Methyl2-methylbutyrate (cas: 868-57-5) 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. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is γ-valerolactone.HPLC of Formula: 868-57-5
