Abstract : Free and glycosidically linked volatile components of fruits of 4 mango cultivars of polyembryonic (M'Bingué and Tête de Chat) and monoembryonic (Amélie and Palmer) seed origins, grown in Côte d'Ivoire, were examined. Eighty-five free volatile components were identified, of which 33 are newly described as mango volatile compounds. Terpene hydrocarbons (104, 139, 26, and 35 mg/kg of fresh pulp, respectively) were the major volatiles (>90% of the total volatiles). The dominant terpenes were (Z,E)-ocimenes (70%) in Amélie and car-3-ene (80%) in the other cultivars. Free oxygenated volatiles, mainly represented by monoterpenoids, and C13 norisoprenoids were present in all cultivars, the African Tête de Chat cultivar being by far the richest (12.3 mg/kg). Of the 29 aglycons characterized, 12 were identified for the first time as mango bound volatiles. Tête de Chat was the richest (2.1 mg/kg) with monoterpenoids and C13 norisoprenoids as the main glycosidically linked volatile compounds.
