The profile of aroma volatiles produced by stored apple fruits is influenced by storage conditions, fruit maturity and cultivar. Examples are presented of the use of deuterium labelling to study the conversion of fatty acids and amino acids to ester aroma volatiles, to demonstrate the operation of both alpha - and beta -fatty acid oxidation pathways in the production of apple aroma and to investigate the origin of cultivar differences in the biosynthesis of branched-chain ester volatiles.
