Abstract

The yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa) was stored after harvest at ambient temperature (29 ± 2°C). Volatile flavour components were analysed up to a period of 15 days using a headspace technique combined with high‐resolution gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Several compounds–ethyl butanoate, hexyl butanoate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl acetate, 2‐heptanone, benzaldehyde and 1‐hexanol–were quantitatively monitored during post‐harvest storage of fruit.
