Correlation between physicochemical properties and volatile compound profiles in tilapia muscles subjected to four different thermal processing techniques.

ABSTRACT: This work studied the physicochemical properties and odor profiles of tilapia muscles after exposure to four types of thermal processing methods: microwaving, roasting, boiling, or steaming. The effect of thermal processing on textural properties followed a pH-water state-water content-tissue microstructure-mass loss-textural properties route, expressed in the following manner: microwaving > roasting > steaming ≈ boiling. After processing, muscle pH increased from 6.59 ± 0.10 to 6.73 ± 0.04-7.01 ± 0.06, and hardness changed from 1468.49 ± 180.77 g to 452.76 ± 46.94-10723.66 ± 2898.46 g. Gas chromatography-based E-nose analysis confirmed that these methods had significant odor fingerprint effects on the tilapia muscles. Finally, the combined analysis of headspace solid-phase microextraction
