Research Abstract |
To investigate the mechanism of accumulation of aroma constituents in grape berries, we analyzed free and glycosidically bound volatile compounds and searched for the glycosylation enzyme in grapes. The major volatile compounds detected in grape berries were aldehydes and alcohols (free volatile compounds) and benzyl alcohol glycoside (bound volatile compounds). Glycosylation activity for furaneol was found in Muscat Bailey A leaves. The elution pattern obtained by anion-exchange chromatography of the enzyme extract of the leaves suggested the presence of several isozymes.
