Analysis of differences in postharvest quality of greenhouse-grown ‘Shine Muscat’ grapes from different sampling sites in Inner Mongolia

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This study systematically compared the differences in conventional quality attributes and VOCs of greenhouse-grown 'Shine Muscat' grapes from four sampling sites in Inner Mongolia (Wuhai, Hohhot, Baotou, and Chifeng) during storage at 20 ± 0.5 °C for 0, 5, 8, 11, and 14 days. A total of 61 VOCs were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS, mainly including terpenes, alcohols, and aldehydes, Thirty key differential VOCs were screened by multivariate statistical analysis. In sensory evaluation, Baotou and Hohhot received the highest scores, whereas Chifeng received the lowest; Wuhai exhibited the highest initial flavor score but poor flavor retention capacity. Based on the differences in grape quality and storage characteristics among the sampling sites, preliminary application hypotheses requiring further validation were proposed. In summary, this study provides a theoretical basis for differentiated postharvest management of 'Shine Muscat' grapes from different sampling sites in Inner Mongolia.
