Abstract Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is the most commercialized and studied fruit due to its nutritional contribution to human diet. Compared to other taxa of agricultural interest, tomato has a relatively high genetic variation, withholding a significant amount of diversity in its wild accessions. One of the most valued cultivars is known as "cherry type". Cherry excels in flavor and aroma traits as compared to commercial cultivars. We compared 10 wild cherry tomato accessions based on their sensorial and chemical characteristics to determine ideal mating partners that will increase crop benefits. Accessions were rated as important based on high levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) both carotenoid-derived and phenylpropanoids, high rating in a sensory profile, high concentrations of lycopene, β-carotene and ideal physicochemical parameters (i.e., total acidity, vitamin C, pH, soluble solids, and color). Significant differences between accessions were evident. Non-red tomato fruits are not ideal partners because they do not have superior physicochemical parameters. Furthermore, low sensory profile scores and absence of VOCs are associated with flavor of non-red tomatoes. In conclusion, LA1480, IAC1624 and IAC401 accessions are the most promising for future breeding. We propose promising material of wild cherry tomato fruits based on commercial interest, taste, aroma, VOCs, and nutritional requirements to have the fruit regarded as a functional food.

狂野：抗氧化、物理化学、挥发性和感官特征的整合使樱桃番茄的乡村亲戚成为理想的交配伙伴

摘要 番茄 (Solanum lycopersicum L.) 因其对人类饮食的营养贡献而成为商业化和研究最多的水果。与其他具有农业价值的分类群相比，番茄具有相对较高的遗传变异，在其野生种质中保留了大量的多样性。最有价值的品种之一被称为“樱桃型”。与商业栽培品种相比，樱桃在风味和香气特征方面表现出色。我们根据感官和化学特征比较了 10 个野樱桃番茄品种，以确定可增加作物收益的理想交配伙伴。根据类胡萝卜素衍生和苯丙烷类化合物的高含量挥发性有机化合物 (VOC)、感官评价高、番茄红素浓度高、β-胡萝卜素和理想的理化参数（即总酸度、维生素 C、pH、可溶性固体和颜色）。种质之间的显着差异是明显的。非红色番茄果实不是理想的伴侣，因为它们没有优越的理化参数。此外，低感官评分和不含 VOC 与非红番茄的风味有关。总之，LA1480、IAC1624和IAC401种质是未来育种最有希望的种质。我们根据商业利益、味道、香气、挥发性有机化合物和营养要求提出了有前途的野樱桃番茄果实材料，使果实被视为功能性食品。非红色番茄果实不是理想的伴侣，因为它们没有优越的理化参数。此外，低感官评分和不含 VOC 与非红番茄的风味有关。总之，LA1480、IAC1624和IAC401种质是未来育种最有希望的种质。我们根据商业利益、味道、香气、挥发性有机化合物和营养要求提出了有前途的野樱桃番茄果实材料，使果实被视为功能性食品。非红色番茄果实不是理想的伴侣，因为它们没有优越的理化参数。此外，低感官评分和不含 VOC 与非红番茄的风味有关。总之，LA1480、IAC1624和IAC401种质是未来育种最有希望的种质。我们根据商业利益、味道、香气、挥发性有机化合物和营养要求提出了有前途的野樱桃番茄果实材料，使果实被视为功能性食品。
