Background: Aroma significantly influences the quality of rambutan seed oil. Nonetheless, few studies have examined the volatile composition of rambutan seed oil. Thus, there is a need for a comprehensive characterization of the aroma profile of rambutan seed oil.

Methods: This study systematically investigated and compared the aroma characteristics of three types (BR-4, BR-5 and BR-7) of rambutan seed oils using HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS techniques, augmented by chemometric modeling.

Results: GC-MS identified 135 volatile compounds, primarily hydrocarbons and esters, while GC-IMS characterized 35 compounds, mainly aldehydes and alcohols. Multivariate statistical analyses revealed significant differences in the aroma profiles among the oil samples. BR-5 exhibited the highest levels of aldehydes and hydrocarbons, whereas BR-7 demonstrated the highest content of esters and ketones. 21 and 15 differentially volatile compounds were extracted from the datasets obtained via GC-MS and GC-IMS. These compounds primarily comprised esters (floral and fruity) and aldehydes (green and fatty), interacting to create the distinctive aroma profiles of the three rambutan seed oils.

Conclusion: This study provides theoretical support for evaluating the flavor characteristics and utilization potential of rambutan seed oil.

While tropical fruit seeds are considered potential sources of functional or edible vegetable oils, their lipid profiles are poorly documented. Herein, the lipid profiles of nine tropical fruit seed oils were systematically evaluated and compared using lipidomics and chemometrics techniques. Cherimoya exhibited the highest total lipid content, while avocado had the lowest.

The litchi genome has five anthocyanidin reductase () and two leucoanthocyanidin reductase () members. The high expression of and is significantly positively correlated with the abundant proanthocyanidins and (-)-epicatechin (EC) in the pericarp, leaf, root, etc. The recombinant LcANR1a/2a converts cyanidin to both EC and (+)-catechin (CT) (EC:CT ≈ 1:1) and converts delphindin to (+)-gallocatechin and (-)-epigallocatechin; the recombinant LcLAR1/2 converts leucocyanidin to CT.
