The red pitaya wines kept at 18 °C for 40 days were sampled for the analysis of volatile compounds. Values shown represent the averages of triplicate samples (data are mean ± SD). Values with different superscript capital letters in the same row are significantly different (p < 0.05)

-: not detected/founded

#The retention indices of compounds were determined on the INNOWAX column, relative to C6-30 n-alkane standards
