| Abstract:
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS, off-aroma compound) which is produced during storage of satsuma mandarin, was non-enzymatically produced from methionine-S-methylsulfonium (MMS) and the production was accelerated by the addition of ferrous ion and ascorbate (ASA). DMS production did not compete ethylene synthesis and vice versa in the peel of satsuma mandarin. | |
