Fifty-seven representative compounds in the process of steaming were identified, including 17 aldehydes, 15 alcohols, 15 ketones, 5 esters, 3 furans, and 2 acids. After steaming, the content of 21 compounds decreased. Among them, 3 compounds gradually decreased along with an increase in steaming times; they were 1-hexanol dimer, 1-hexanol monomer, and 3-methylbutan-1-ol dimer. The content of 14 compounds increased than before, and that of three, 1-(2-furanyl)ethanone monomer, 2-furaldehyde, and 3-methyl butanal, increased significantly in the steaming timJournal of analytical methods in chemistry5592877https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11986191biostudies-literatureHS-GC-IMS Coupled With Chemometrics Analyzes Volatile Aroma Compounds in Steamed <i>Polygonatum cyrtonema</i> Hua at Different Production Stages.PMC11986191Liu HZhong CHe WZhou RXie JLao JShen BZhang SJin JZhou XfalseHS-GC-IMS Coupled With Chemometrics Analyzes Volatile Aroma Compounds in Steamed <i>Polygonatum cyrtonema</i> Hua at Different Production Stages.Headspace-gas chromatography-ion migration spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with chemometrics was used to analyze the changes in volatile aroma compounds (VOCs) at different production stages of steaming <i>Polygonatum cyrtonema</i> Hua.
