Project description:Nowadays, the truffle aroma attribute is not included as a quality parameter in the current recommendation that explains the truffle quality (UNECE standard 53 FFV3) and establishes the truffle commercial categories. However, the aroma is the main reason why truffles are worldwide appreciated. Indeed, more than 30 aromatic molecules compose it, and this is the reason why the human evaluation and identification of these odorants, without previous training, is quite subjective. Analytical techniques such as gas chromatography techniques, however, can establish an aromatic profile and detect potential aromatic markers. In this study, 16 tasting experts were trained to make more objective the truffle aroma evaluation and odorants identification. For this, a comparison between solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) and sensory expert evaluation was carried out in six sessions during different harvesting times in the black truffle season (December, January, and February). Both techniques were able to separate truffles depending on the harvesting time. Also, a list of volatile organic compounds related to the aromatic attributes was reported. This information will help to provide a more objective T. melanosporum truffle sensory evaluation.

Project description:Aroma is a key criterion in evaluating aromatic coconut water. A comparison regarding key aroma compounds and sensory correlations was made between Thailand Aromatic Green Dwarf (THD) and Cocos nucifera L. cv. Wenye No. 4 coconut water using E-nose and GC × GC-O-TOF-MS combined with chemometrics. Twenty-one volatile components of coconut water were identified by GC × GC-O-TOF-MS, and 5 key aroma compounds were analyzed by relative odor activity value and aroma extract dilution analysis. Moreover, the combination of the E-nose with orthogonal partial least squares was highly effective in discriminating between the two coconut water samples and screened the key sensors responsible for this differentiation. Additionally, the correlation between volatile compounds and sensory properties was established using partial least squares. The key aroma compounds of coconut water exhibited positive correlations with the corresponding sensory properties.

Project description:This study investigated the volatile composition and aromatic features of passion fruit wines using a combination of gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-qMS), gas chromatography-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry (GC-Orbitrap-MS), electronic nose (E-nose) and sensory evaluation. The results showed that these passion fruit wines possessed different aromatic features confirmed by E-nose. Seventeen sulfur compounds and seventy-eight volatiles were detected in these passion fruit wines using GC-Orbitrap-MS and GC-qMS, respectively. Forty-four volatiles significantly contributed to the overall wine aroma. These wines possessed passion fruit, mango, green apple, lemon and floral aromas confirmed by sensory evaluation. The partial least squares regression analysis indicated that sulfides, esters and terpenes, and terpenes mainly correlated to the passion fruit, mango and green apple aroma, respectively. Sulfur compounds significantly affected the aroma of passion fruit wine. The findings in this study could provide useful insight toward the quality control of passion fruit wine.

Project description:The aroma characteristics of seven commercial Chinese sunflower seed oils were investigated in this study using descriptive analysis, headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with GC-quadrupole-MS (LRMS, low-resolution mass spectrometry), and GC-Orbitrap-MS (HRMS, high-resolution mass spectrometry). GC-Orbitrap-MS quantified 96 compounds, including 18 alcohols, 12 esters, 7 ketones, 20 terpenoids, 11 pyrazines, 6 aldehydes, 6 furans, 6 benzene ring-containing compounds, 3 sulfides, 2 alkanes, and 5 nitrogen-containing compounds. Moreover, 22 compounds including 5 acids, 1 amide, and 16 aldehydes were quantified using GC-Quadrupole-MS. To our knowledge, 23 volatile compounds were reported for the first time in sunflower seed oil. All the seven samples were found to have a 'roasted sunflower seeds' note, 'sunflower seeds aroma' note and 'burnt aroma' note and only five of them had 'fried instant noodles' note, three had 'sweet' note and two had 'puffed food' note. Partial least squares regression was used to screen the candidate key volatiles that caused the aroma differences among these seven samples. It was observed that 'roasted sunflower seeds' note was positively correlated with 1-octen-3-ol, n-heptadehyde and dimethyl sulfone, whereas the 'fried instant noodles' and 'puffed food' demonstrated a positive correlation with pentanal, 3-methylbutanal, hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal and 2-pentylfuran. Our findings provide information to the producers and developers for quality control and improvement of sunflower seed oil.

Project description:Daqu has gained wide attention because it is an essential source of microorganisms and flavor in baijiu production. In this study, HS-SPME combined with GC-MS/O was used to analyze the volatile flavor components of Strong aroma baijiu Daqu. DI-GC-O was used to choose the best extraction fiber to extract the representative overall aroma profile of Daqu. A total of 139 compounds were identified in the six different maturity stages of Daqu, and these compounds are of different types and concentrations. HS-SPME combined with GC-MS/O was used to analyze the aroma active substances in the finished Daqu, and a total of 43 aroma compounds were identified. The OAVs of 21 aromatic compounds were calculated based on the quantitative analysis results of MHS-SPME. Eighteen compounds with OAVs ≥ 1 made significant contributions to the overall aroma of Daqu, including guaiacol, 4-ethyl-2-methoxy phenol, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, etc.

Project description:Flat black tea (FBT) has been innovatively developed to alleviate homogenisation competition, but the dynamic changes in aroma components during the process remain unclear. This study employed HS-SPME-GC-MS to analyse the aroma components of tea samples from various processing stages of FBT, and to make a comparative assessment with conventional strip-like Congou black tea (SBT). Additionally, a proteomic analysis was conducted on fresh leaves, withered leaves, and frozen-thawed leaves. Significant changes were observed in the aroma components and proteins during the processing. The results of the multivariate and odour activity value analysis demonstrated that the principal aroma components present during the processing of FBT were linalool, (E)-2-hexen-1-al, methyl salicylate, geraniol, hexanal, benzeneacetaldehyde, (Z)-3-hexenyl butyrate, dimethyl sulphide, 2-methylbutanal, 2-ethylfuran, nonanal, nonanol, 3-methylbutanal, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, 2-pentylfuran, linalool oxide I, and β-myrcene. Freezing-thawing and final roasting are the key processing steps for forming the aroma quality of FBT. The final roasting yielded a considerable quantity of pyrazines and pyrroles, resulting in a high-fried aroma, but caused a significant reduction in linalool, geraniol, β-myrcene, and esters, which led to a loss of floral and fruity aromas. The freezing-thawing treatment resulted in an accelerated loss of aroma substances, accompanied by a decrease in the expression level of lipoxygenase and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase. The formation of aroma substances in the linoleic acid metabolic pathway and terpenoid metabolic process was hindered, which had a negative impact on tea aroma. This study elucidates the causes of unsatisfactory aroma quality in tea products made from frozen tea leaves, providing theoretical support for the utilisation of frostbitten tea leaves, and helps us to understand the mechanism of aroma formation in black tea.

Project description:Shandong matcha has the quality characteristics of bright green color, seaweed-like aroma and strong, fresh and brisk taste. In order to identify the characteristic aroma components and clarify the contribution of the grinding process to the aroma of Shandong matcha. Three grades of Shandong matcha and corresponding tencha material were firstly tested with sensory evaluation, and the volatile components were extracted with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and analyzed using GC-MS. The sensory evaluation results showed that high-grade matcha (M-GS) had prominent seaweed-like, fresh and roasted notes, whereas medium and low-grade matcha (M-G1, M-G2) were gradually coupled with grassy, fatty and high-fired aromas. GC-MS results showed that in the HS-SPME method, heterocyclic compounds (45.84-65.35%) were the highest in Shandong matcha, followed by terpenoids (7.44-16.92%) and esters (6.91-15.27%), while in the safe method, esters were the highest (12.96-24.99%), followed by terpenoids (10.76-25.09%) and heterocyclic compounds (12.12-17.07%). As a whole, the composition of volatile components between M-G1 and M-G2 is relatively close, and there are more differences in volatile components between them and M-GS. The volatile components unique to M-GS were screened using the odor activity value (OAV) evaluation method, with components such as 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol, 3-ethyl-Phenol, 2-thiophenemethanethiol, 2,4-undecadienal, (E,E)-2,6-nonadienal, (E,Z)- being evaluated. There were other differentially volatile components, that is, volatile components that coexist in the three grades of matcha, but with different concentrations and proportions. M-G1 and M-G2 contained more volatile substances with high-fired aroma, such as 2-ethyl-3-methyl-pyrazine, coumarin and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoxaline. The grinding process not only changes the appearance of tencha, but also increases the content of volatile components of matcha as a whole, enhancing the aroma and flavor characteristics of matcha. In this study, the contents of 24 volatile components in matcha were mainly increased, such as benzene, (2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-, cis-7-decen-1-al, safranal and fenchyl acetate. The dual factors of material tencha and matcha grinding technology are indispensable in forming the differences in aroma and flavor of Shandong matcha at different levels.
