Abstract
⺠The volatile profile of avocados changed during ripening and among cultivars. ⺠1-MCP treatments delayed ripening and increased emissions of alkanes during ripening of 'Booth 7' and 'Monroe'. ⺠Several compounds were detected in only one cultivar and could be useful for classification purposes. ⺠Sesquiterpenes were the main group of volatiles in all cultivars, with β-caryophyllene as the major compound, but were fairly detected in ripe fruit. ⺠Results suggest that ethylene participates in the regulation of the sesquiterpene α-copaene.
