Abstract(s)
The mineral contents and volatile profiles of 23 sweet cherry cultivars were determined. A total of 27 minerals
were determined by ICP-MS and flame atomic absorption spectrometry, including 12 essential and 15 non-
essential elements. K was the most abundant in all cultivars, while Tl was the one found in the smallest
amounts. A total of 66 volatiles were identified using SPME/GC–MS, including 16 aldehydes, 23 alcohols, 6
ketones, 6 esters, 8 monoterpenes, 3 norisoprenoids, 2 hydrocarbons and 2 acids. Benzaldehyde, hexanal,
nonanal, benzyl alcohol, (E)-2-hexen-1-ol, 1-hexanol, (Z)-2-hexen-1-ol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, linalool, α-terpineol
and α-ionone were the major ones. Qualitative and quantitative differences were observed among the cultivars,
which influenced nutritional potential and aroma. Cherries from Fund ̃ao region contain high concentrations of
phytochemicals and nutritional components. 4-84, Burlat and Celeste might be considered some of the most
interesting cultivars, since they are rich in essential minerals and present high diversity in volatiles.
