Abstract : In this study manual headspace Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) coupled with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to study the aroma characteristics of three kinds of Chinese mango cultivars (xiangya, xiaoxiang and jidan mangoes). In total, twenty-four aroma volatiles, including alkene, alkane, alcohol, aldehyde, ketone and aromatic compound were identified. Aroma characteristics of different mango cultivars were specified by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Three kinds of mango cultivars possessed the typical but different aroma characteristics. It is hoped that the work could provide helpful clues for the mango quality control and specimen discrimination.
