The general and volatile properties and the quality of two newly selected Satsuma clones (11/1 İzmir and 30/ İzmir) grown under Mediterranean ecological conditions

of this study was to better understand the quality and the general properties of the newly selected 30/İzmir and 11/1 İzmir Satsuma clones in the light of general and volatile compound analysis. This work will help to optimize the cultivation of these new cultivars in order to achieve the best flavor and the best quality and provide valuable data for new breeding programs related to these two clones. Abstract The general and volatile properties, and the quality of two new Satsuma clones – 11/1 İzmir and 30/İzmir – selected under a Citrus Bud Wood Selection Program, were compared with Dwari Satsuma samples grown under Adana ecological conditions. Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, flame ionization detection (GC/MS/FOD) analysis was used in the identification and quantification of the aromatic compounds, and a sensory profile analysis was performed to complete the general understanding using chemical analysis. The general analysis showed that the clone samples have higher yields, are more intense in skin color and more acidic; however, the total soluble solids and total sugar amount are lower than the Dwari Satsuma samples. The terpenes are the major aromatic compound class. Along with other terpenes, there were significant amounts of dl-limonene followed by γ-terpinene, β-elemene, linalool and α-terpineol. The sensory analysis showed that the Dwari Satsuma samples are sweeter and riper, with a better floral, spicy-citrus flavor than both clones. Both clones had a lower “Dverall liking” rating than the Dwari Satsuma samples.
