Notes:
Steam volatile oils were obtained from three cultivars of scuppernong berries at three levels of maturity and analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS). Thirtyeight compounds consisting of aldehydes, substituted furans, ketones, alcohols, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, terpenes, and esters were identified. Major components from ripe berries were 2-pentanone, hexanal, toluene, furfural, 2-hexenal, xylene, benzylaldehyde, geraniol, β-phenylethanol formate, γ-terpinene, benzylalcohol, phenylethanol, linalool, isomer of nonadienal, β-ionone, and an unidentified pair of terpenes, m/e 152 and 154. Green berries had higher levels of 2-hexenal, hexanal, and toluene than ripe and midripe berries, and included other low retention-time compounds. Sugar levels of fruit increased with berry maturity, whereas acidity decreased.
