The author mentioned the following in the article:
To assist increasing annual acreage of Texas-grown (U.S.A.) strawberries, it is essential to select cultivars with excellent plant and fruit quality characteristics suitable to the diverse environments. This study assessed multiple traits of 10 strawberry cultivars grown under high tunnels. A significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) was observed for all traits, which possessed a wide variability of metabolites. Plant anal. (number of live plants, plant vigor, and harvest yield) indicated that the yield ranged from 226 to 431 g/plant, pos. correlated to plant vigor. Fruit physicochem. characteristic anal., including red color (absorbance at 500 nm) and taste-associated indicators [°Brix, titratable acidity (TA), and total soluble solids (TSS)/TA], showed that °Brix and TSS/TA ranged from 8.0 to 12.9 and from 9.1 to 15.3, resp. More than 300 volatiles were identified using solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry, and total volatiles varied 1.5 times with high variance of individual compounds between cultivars. Descriptive sensory anal. indicated that strawberry flavor was pos. associated with sensory attributes of sweetness, jammy, fruity, buttery, fresh, and creamy while neg. related to bitterness, astringency, and sourness. Partial least squares regression indicated that strawberry flavor was highly correlated with sweet taste and volatile composition No specific relationship between these traits and day-neutral or June-bearing varieties was identified. Ideal cultivars for Texas growing conditions with superior and balanced flavor qualities were Albion, Sweet Charlie, Camarosa, Camino Real, and Chandler. And 1-Phenylethyl acetate (cas: 93-92-5) was used in the research process.
1-Phenylethyl acetate(cas:93-92-5) is a carboxylic ester. Electric Literature of C10H12O2 It may be prepared by acetylation of methyl phenyl carbinol; from 1-bromoethylbenzene and silver acetate in acetic acid; from benzaldehyde by reacting with magnesium methyl bromide and subsequent acetylation.
