Zusammenfassung

Die Zusammensetzung der Aromastoffe der Erdbeersorten Elsanta, Elvira, Dania, Bogota, Pandora und Senga Sengana wurden analysiert und die Konzentrationen mit den Geruchschwellen verglichen, um die wichtigste Komponente zu bestimmen. 2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanon, Linalool und Ethylhexanoat wurden als allgemein wichtige Aromakomponenten der Erdbeeren gefunden, während Ethylbutanoat, Methylbutanoat,γ-Decalacton und 2-Heptanon sortenspezifische Aromakomponenten sind.

Summary

The aroma composition of the strawberry cultivars Elsanta, Elvira, Dania, Bogota, Pandora and Senga Sengana was analysed and the concentrations were compared with the odour threshold values to determine the most important compounds. 2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone, linalool and ethyl hexanoate were found to be important general strawberry aroma compounds whereas ethyl butanoate, methyl butanoate,γ-decalactone and 2-heptanone were found to be important cultivar-specific aroma compounds.
