This study describes the sensory composition of com. sweet almond varieties across two California growing seasons. It also discusses the relationship between sensory attributes and chem. and phys. measures. Raw, whole almonds (43 samples each of 13 varieties in 2015 and 40 samples each of 10 varieties in 2016) were evaluated for their sensory profiles using descriptive sensory anal. The 2016 samples were also analyzed for macro- and micronutrients, amygdalin, volatile composition (using gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry), and phys. properties, and the results were modeled with the sensory data. Independence, Sonora, and Wood Colony were harder, more fracturable, and crunchy, whereas Fritz and Monterey were more moist and chewy, reflecting their moisture contents. Aldrich and Fritz were higher in marzipan/benzaldehyde flavor, which is related to amygdalin, benzaldehyde, phenylethyl alc., and benzyl alc. New insights are provided into sweet-almond composition and the sensorial contribution of headspace volatiles. This assists almond growers and processors in describing and marketing almond varieties.
