Abstract:

In this study,Chrysanthemum × morifolium‘Lixiang’was used as the material,and the headspace adsorption(HSA)method combined with automatic thermal desorption-gas chromatography- mass spectrometry(ATD-GC-MS)was utilized to analyze the floral fragrance of‘Lixiang’flowers at bud stage,half-open stage,and peak flowering stage at 14:00,as well as at peak flowering stage at 6:00 and 22:00. The principal component analysis(PCA),hierarchical clustering analysis(HCA)and partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA)were employed to construct a discriminant model for the volatile organic compounds(VOCs)and to identify differential VOCs. Finally,the relative odor activity value(ROAV)was calculated to analyze the aroma characteristics. A total of 86 VOCs were detected across different flowering stages and time points,with 39 common to all. At 14:00 during the peak flowering stage,both the highest number of VOC types(68)and the highest emission rate(4 032.57 ng · g-1 · h-1)were observed. The 86 VOCs were classified into 4 categories,terpenes exhibited both the highest number and emission levels of VOCs at all sampling points,α-pinene was the most abundant VOC in the fragrance of‘Lixiang’. Using VIP scores and P values,a total of 24 differential volatiles were screened. ROAV analysis identified 4 key characteristic aroma components,ethyl isobutyrate provided the highest odor contribution value,imparting a characteristic fruity fragrance to‘Lixiang’flowers,α-pinene,propyl 2-methylpropanoate and (Z)-β-ocimene imparted resin/pine-like,fruity and terpene fragrance characteristics,respectively.
