Effects of Grafting on Volatile Compounds in Bitter Gourd Fruit

[Objectives]This study was conducted to explore the effects of grafting on volatile compounds in bitter gourd fruit.[Methods]The volatile compounds and relative contents of grafted and non-grafted fruit were analyzed by headspace solid phase micro-extraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.[Results]There were 59 volatile compounds in Haiyan No.2S,including six unique compounds.There were 58 volatile compounds in Haiyan No.2J,including five unique compounds.[Conclusions]This study provides a scientific basis for further analysis of bitter gourd flavor regulation mediated by grafting.
