Volatiles in Berries: Biosynthesis, Composition, Bioavailability, and Health Benefits

Volatile compounds in fruits are responsible for their aroma. Among fruits, berries contain many volatile compounds, mainly esters, alcohols, terpenoids, aldehydes, ketones, and lactones. Studies have increased extensively as the consumption of berry products rapidly increased. In this paper, we reviewed biosynthesis profiles volatiles some (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, cranberry) bioavailability health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic effects vitro vivo. Each had different major volatiles, but monoterpene an important role all aroma-active components. were nonpolar hydrophobic absorbed eliminated from our body after administration. them, monoterpenes, linalool, limonene, geraniol, showed benefits against inflammation, cancer, obesity, diabetes More research on would be needed to confirm bioactivities volatiles.
