This review summarizes the profiles of VOCs of 25 litchi cultivars and finds that the aroma of litchi is mainly determined from the content and composition of monoterpenoids and alcohols. Sulfur-containing volatile compounds may also contribute to the unique flavor of litchi.
Aroma is considered a fundamental component of fruit flavor. Variations in the composition and content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to noticeable differences in fruit aromas. Litchi is a delicious tropical and subtropical fruit, and a large number of germplasm resources with unique aromas have emerged during the past 2000 years of cultivation. In this review, our aim is to collect, compare, integrate, and summarize the available literature on the profiles of VOCs of 25 litchi cultivars. We showed that a total of 556 VOCs were reported from litchi fruit, and the aroma of litchi is mainly determined from the content and composition of monoterpenoids and alcohols, including linalool, geraniol, limonene, terpinolene, beta-citronellol, p-cymene, nerol, alpha-terpineol, cis-rose oxide, beta-myrcene, 4-terpineol, citral, and neral (cis-citral), which might contribute to the rose-like or citrus-like aroma of litchi fruit. Moreover, sulfur-containing volatile compounds (VSCs) possibly impart a special flavor to litchi fruit. This review would be a valuable resource for researchers aiming to improve litchi aroma quality by elucidating the possible mechanisms underlying VOC biosynthesis and their metabolism in litchi fruit.
