Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Esters were the dominant class among the volatile organic compounds detected in kiwifruit.
- Observation Flavor-active compounds differed quantitatively among the kiwifruit species.
- Association Metabolic profiles of kiwifruit were significantly influenced by genetic background.
- Observation Quercetagetin-7-O-glucoside was found exclusively in A. arguta cultivars.
- Observation Quercetagetin-7-O-glucoside was validated as a biomarker for identifying A. arguta species.
- Observation A. arguta has a flavonoid-rich metabolite profile.
- Observation Catechin, esculin and naringenin were validated by HPLC-MS/MS in kiwifruit.
- Observation Quercetin, scopolin and taxifolin were validated by HPLC-MS/MS in kiwifruit.
- Recommendation The study provides a framework for breeding kiwifruit cultivars with sensory appeal and health-promoting functions.
