“…Although there were differences in the types of aroma substances characterized in the peel and pulp, the highest contributors were linalool B and D-limonene, indicating that they were the main characteristic aromatic substances in the WT and MT. The presence of the above aromatic active compounds as major aromatic compounds in citrus was similar to results of other studies [43][44][45][46]. 9 of 14 25 VOCs found were characterized in the WT and MT pulp, respectively [40] (Figure 5a).…”

Citrus exhibits unique nutritional values. Most citrus cultivars are derived from mutations. However, the effect of these mutations on fruit quality is unclear. We have previously found a yellowish bud mutant in the citrus cultivar ‘Aiyuan 38’. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of the mutation on fruit quality. ‘Aiyuan 38’ (WT) and a bud mutant variant (MT) were used to analyze variations in fruit color variation and flavor substances using colorimetric instruments, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS), and odor activity values (OAVs). The mutation in MT conferred yellowish characteristics to its peel. Although the differences in total sugar and acid content of the pulp were not statistically significant between WT and MT, the MT glucose content was significantly lower and the malic acid level was significantly higher. HS-SPME-GC–MS analysis revealed that the MT pulp released more types and contents of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than the WT, whereas the opposite trend was observed for the peel. Analysis of the OAV revealed that the MT pulp contains 6 unique VOCs, whereas the peel contains only 1. This study provides a useful reference for the study of flavor substances associated with citrus bud mutations.
