Due to their characteristic aroma, fresh
Toona sinensis (TS) buds are popular vegetables. The application of the molecular sensory science concept revealed di-1-propenyl di- and trisulfide, 2-mercapto-3,4-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrothiophene, and dimethyl sulfide as responsible for the cooked onion-like/TS-like odor note. Hexanal, (
E)-2-hexenal, (
E)-2-hexen-1-ol, and (
E,
Z)-2,6-nonadienal were responsible for the green odor note of green TS, while 2-methoxyphenol and 4-ethylphenol contributed to the phenolic aroma note of red TS. Significant changes in odor activity values of key odorants were found in blanched and differently dried buds.
