Nine accessions of Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench. and three of Abelmoschus moschatus Medik were both grown in Central Italy for the evaluation of the production of seeds. Furthermore, the volatiles emitted by the mature seeds were sampled by mean of SPME. Seventy compounds were detected in the headspace of the seeds of A. esculentus. The principal constituents common to all the nine accessions were isopentyl 2-methyl butanoate (24.5–59.1%) and heptanoic acid 2-methylbutyl ester (6.6–13.5%). In the headspace around the seeds of A. moschatus 93 components were detected. Among the main volatiles shared by the three accessions, n-tridecane (1.5–26.9%), isopentyl 2-methyl butanoate (0.2–14.3%) and decanal (1.6–5.7%) should be mentioned. Many differences were present in the volatiles emitted by the various accessions and between the two Abelmoschus species

Abstract
Nine accessions of Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench. and three of Abelmoschus moschatus Medik were both grown in Central Italy for the evaluation of the production of seeds. Furthermore, the volatiles emitted by the mature seeds were sampled by mean of SPME. Seventy compounds were detected in the headspace of the seeds of A. esculentus. The principal constituents common to all the nine accessions were isopentyl 2-methyl butanoate (24.5–59.1%) and heptanoic acid 2-methylbutyl ester (6.6–13.5%). In the headspace around the seeds of A. moschatus 93 components were detected. Among the main volatiles shared by the three accessions, n-tridecane (1.5–26.9%), isopentyl 2-methyl butanoate (0.2–14.3%) and decanal (1.6–5.7%) should be mentioned. Many differences were present in the volatiles emitted by the various accessions and between the two Abelmoschus speciesFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
