Original Abstract

The aim of this work was to identify and quantify the volatile aroma compounds in fruits of several elderberry cultivars to find cultivar with highest content of them. Wild elder and sixteen cultivars of elderberries were used for analysis. Aroma compounds were extracted by solid phase microextraction, identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and quantified by gas chromatography. In total 102 volatile compounds were identified in all elderberry samples, among them 38 alcohols, 16 aldehydes, 10 ketones, 19 esters, 4 heterocycles, 6 hydrocarbons and 9 acids. Alcohols, aldehydes and esters were the most abundant, significantly (P < 0.05) lower content of heterocycles and hydrocarbons were found. Based on the literature 36 compounds, known as significant part of elderberry aroma, were chosen to follow differences among cultivars. Owing to the highest total content of selected compounds Korsör, Pregarten and Samdal cultivars were recommended for possible practical use.
