ABSTRACT
Muscaris is a modern white grape variety with good fungal resistance and a pleasant aroma, the molecular background of which was unknown. A comparative aroma extract dilution analysis applied to Muscaris grapes and grapes of the father variety Muskateller revealed little differences and resulted in 39 and 35 odorants, respectively. Sixteen odorants exceeded their odor threshold concentrations. Odor reconstitution and omission experiments showed that the distinct lychee note in the aroma of the Muscaris grapes was generated by the combination of (2S,4R)-rose oxide and geraniol. This finding will guide further molecular research on the transfer of the lychee note into wine and may also be helpful for the targeted breeding of new grape varieties.
