New Biodegradable Mulching Films for Strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa Duch.): Effects on the Volatile Profiles of the Fruit

The effects of mulching films on the profiles volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from two strawberry cultivars, namely Elide and Sabrina, were evaluated by headspace solid-phase micro-extraction coupled to gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). Strawberries grown biodegradable films, named N5 N18, in comparison black polyethylene (PE). PCA models, separately performed VOCs dataset showed that observations for each three lie corresponding regions plot, suggesting represented main source data variation, hence, variability profile induced overcame cv-related one. For both a higher number with positive impact “sweet” taste sensation consumers’ preference positively correlated strawberries produced compared PE. However, there was an interaction between type cultivar mulches, as responded better N18 while Sabrina only N18. Altogether, these results could contribute assessing putative markers desirable sensory perception acceptability strawberries.
