Volatile components of fresh apricot (Prunus armeniaca var. ansu Max.) were isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction at two different pH values of 3.1 and 7.0 and by headspace trapping method. The volatiles were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. A total of 80 components were identified in the three aroma concentrates, including 9 naphthalene derivatives that were not previously reported in apricot. Of components identified in native pH (3.1) sample, the major components were aliphatic $C_6$ aldehydes and alcohols, monoterpene alcohols, benzyl alcohol, ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ alcohol and naphthalene derivatives, while those in neutral pH(7.0) sample and headspace volatiles were aliphatic $C_6$ aldehydes and alcohols. Simultaneous distillation-extraction at pH 3.1 was significantly increased the concentration of n-hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, linalool oxide, linalool, ${\alpha}-terpineol$, nerol, geraniol, benzyl alcohol, ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ alcohol and naphthalene derivatives. These results demonstrate that above the components are present in glycosidically bound forms in apricot.

Glycosidically bound fraction was separated from apricot by Amberlite XAD-2 adsorption and eluted with methanol. Aglycones were liberated from the bound fraction by enzymatic hydrolysis, acid hydrolysis or by means of simultaneous distillation-extraction at pH 3.0. A total of 40 components were identified in three bound volatile fractions. Besides linalool oxide, linalool. ${\alpha}-terpineol$, nerol, geraniol, benzyl alcohol and 2-phenylethyl alcohol, previously reported as glycosidically bound volatiles, the following components were identified for the first time as glycosidically bound volatiles in apricot: 2,6-dimethyl-3,7-octadiene-2,6-diol , 3.7-dimethyl-1,5-octadiene-3,7-diol, (E)- and (Z)-2.6-dimethyl-2,7-octadiene-1,6-diol, $3,4-didehydro-{\beta}-ionol,\;3-oxo-{\alpha}-ionol$, $3-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-{\beta}-ionol,\;3-oxo-7,8-dihydro-{\alpha}-ionol ,\;3-hydroxy-{\beta}-ionone$, eugenol, 4-hydroxyethylphenyl acetate and 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran.
