Volatile constituents of fresh blackcurrant (
Ribes nigrum L.) and redcurrant (
Ribes rubrum L.) fruits were isolated applying different approaches and analysed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and sensory methods. The occurrence of 4-methoxy-2-methyl-2-butanethiol in blackcurrant fruits was demonstrated for the first time. C
6-compounds, esters, and terpenes were the major compound classes in blackcurrant fruits; C
6-compounds and acids dominated in redcurrant fruits. The influence of various factors, such as cultivar and freezing, on the volatile profiles was shown.
