Abstract
Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch., Rosaceae) is the subject of many research studies
due to its numerous features such as unique taste, aroma and health qualities. The
distribution of low molecular weight metabolites belonging to aldehydes, ketones,
alcohols, esters, organic acids, phenolics, amino acids and sugars classes within
strawberry fruit cross-section was studied using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) method
with 109Ag nanoparticle enhanced target (109AgNPET). Correlation of distribution of
over thirty compounds found in cross-section of strawberry with their biological function
is also included.
