We adopted HS-SPME-GC–MS and UPLC-Q-TOF/MS in our study to analyze changes in volatile components (VOCs) and non-VOCs during the growth of Citrus maxima cv. Jinggang honey pomelo. In total, 75 VOCs and 65 non-VOCs were identified. Terpenes were the most important components of the VOCs, D-limonene and germacrene D were the most representative. The contents of organic acids, flavonoids, coumarins, and amino acids gradually decreased throughout the growth process, while delayed bitter compounds (limonin and nomilin) continued accumulating. According to variable importance in the projection >1 and p < 0.05, 25 non-volatile differential metabolites were selected. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis was the main pathway around which a sophisticated metabolic network was formed. The flavor of Jinggang honey pomelo evolved with changes in its components, ultimately presenting flavor characteristics of citrus and green aromas, balanced sweet and sour flavors, and a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste.

The quality of white tea (WT) is impacted by selected tea cultivars. To explore the organoleptic quality of a recently-discovered WT (“Caicha”, CC), HS-SPME/GC–MS and UPLC were employed to identify volatile and non-volatile compounds in tea samples. Multiple statistical methods demonstrated the distinctions between CC and four mainstream WT varieties from main producing areas. CC exhibited abundant volatile alcohol, terpenoids, ketone, aldehyde and ester, as well as non-volatile lignans and coumarins, phenolic acids and low-molecular carbohydrates. These substances combinedly contributed to the flavor attributes of CC, characterized by an intense herbal/citrus-like cleanness and flower/fruit-like sweetness, scarce in existing commercial WT varieties. Sensory evaluation corroborated these findings. In conclusion, we have processed a new tea variety (CC) with WT manufacturing technology, and discovered the unique cleanness and sweetness of it. This study enriches the raw material database for WT production and blending, and boosts the development of more premium WT varieties.

The effect of drying methods on the variations of volatile, semi-volatile, and involatile compounds in Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (E.A.) flower was comprehensively investigated by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) based untargeted metabolomics combined with our recently developed automatic data analysis software AntDAS for the first time. About 21 volatile compounds, 44 semi-volatile compounds, and 17 involatile compounds were identified and showed significant differences among drying methods. Chemometric methods like principal components analysis (PCA), and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used in combination with heatmap analysis to reveal the relationship between compound compositions and drying methods. Finally, it was concluded that room-temperature drying is more conducive to preserving volatile compounds in E.A. flower, and hot air drying is better for preserving semi-volatile and involatile compounds. This work can provide guidelines for industrial processes of E.A. flower.

Qingke ( Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum Hook. f.) is a cereal of Gramineae, and it is an indispensable food crop for people in the Qinghai—Tibetan Plateau of China. This work focused on the dynamic changes of volatile and non-volatile fractions of qingke (Heilaoya), that is, black qingke, during steaming, and the flavor variations were discussed combined with their correlation. According to the results of sensory analysis, it revealed that the rice and sweet aroma of black qingke increased with the extension of steaming time and reached the maximum at 60 min, whereas the grassy aroma decreased. Besides, a total of 43 aroma fractions were identified by gas chromatography–olfactometry–mass spectrometry, with the largest quantity showing up at 60 min. In addition, the overall flavor of black qingke became more abundant after steaming for 40–60 min. Furthermore, combined with the changes of the non-volatile substances, it was inferred that Maillard and Strecker reactions occurred between reducing sugars and amino acids, and the fractions, such as 2-acetylthiazole, 2-methylpyrazine, 2-pentylfuran, and furfural, were generated. These components mainly presented notes of baked, rice, and grain. In addition, the fatty acids undergo oxidative degradation to generate hexanal and ( E,E )-2,4-decadienal. These results can provide a theoretical basis for the flavor quality control and industrial production of qingke.

Although enzymatic hydrolysates of edible fungi are widely used as flavoring agents in the food industry, the effects that different enzymes have on the flavor profile of Dictyophora indusiata remain unclear. In this study, neutrase, papain, cellulase-neutrase, and cellulase-papain were used to hydrolyze D. indusiata , and the taste and odor profiles then investigated via HPLC, electronic tongue sensor, HS-GC-IMS, and HS-SPME-GC-MS analyses. Multivariate statistical analyses of PLS-DA and variable importance projection values were employed to evaluate the volatile compounds. The enzymatic hydrolysate treated with neutrase contained a higher amount of free amino acids, whereas the cellulase-papain enzymatic hydrolysate demonstrated a more pronounced umami taste. Electronic tongue sensors exhibited greater sensitivity to nucleotides. HS-GC-IMS and HS-SPME-GC-MS identified 78 and 92 volatile aroma compounds, respectively. Dual-enzyme groups had a more significant impact on the variety and content of characteristic volatile organic compounds than the single-enzyme groups did. Overall, this study elucidated changes in the flavor profiles of different enzyme hydrolysates, which could provide a better understanding of the scientific processing and condiment development of D. indusiata .

Alternaria alternata is a common fruit-decaying fungus that is potentially hazardous to fruit quality and human health. In this study, volatile and non-volatile compounds in cherry quality after artificial inoculation with A. alternata during cold storage were investigated using HS-GC-IMS and LC-MS. After fungal exposure, cherry samples exhibited significant changes in fungal counts, fruit firmness, and total soluble solid. A total of 36 volatile compounds, including 15 alcohols, 9 aldehydes, 5 esters, 4 ketones, 2 sulfur compounds, and 1 hydrocarbon were detected in the cherries by HS-GC-IMS. Changes in various aldehydes and sulfur compounds occurred in the early and middle storage stages, and changes in alcohols, esters, and ketones occurred in the middle-later storage stages. Seven types of non-volatile compounds were identified as key differential metabolites including 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid O-b-D-glucoside, 2-O-benzoyl-D-glucose, gluconic acid, D-glucuronic acid, malonic acid, portulacaxanthin II, and altenusin, which are involved in the biosynthesis pathways of glucose, glycoside compounds, betalain, and fungal metabolites. This study provides further understanding of the relationship between the contamination of A. alternata and the quality of cherry fruit and lays the foundation for preservation technology for fresh fruit.

Agastache rugosa (AR) is a wildly cultivated medicinal and aromatic crop, which usually recommended to be harvested when the plant is exuberant with not flowering or in full flower stage. But there is no scientific basis for the support of the cognition. Therefore, the accumulation patterns of major active components during flower development (inflorescences with buds, full bloom and after full bloom stages) in two chemotypes (menthone type and estragole type) of AR were investigated by newly developed GC–QQQ–MS/MS and UPLC–QTOF–MS/MS methods. Five volatile (pulegone, menthone , estragole, methyleugenol and β -caryophyllene) and nine non-volatile components (rosmarinic acid, tilianin, acacetin 7- O -(6"- O -malonyl)- β - D -glucopyranoside, apigenin , agastachoside, isoagastachoside, acacetin 7- O -(2"- O -acetyl-6"- O -malonyl)- β - D -glucopyranoside, cirsimaritin and acacetin) in two chemotypes of AR samples at three stages were simultaneously quantified. It was found that the relatively higher contents of main volatile components were present in menthone type of AR collected at the full flower stage and in estragole type of AR at the after full bloom stage, whereas the relatively higher contents of main non-volatile components were present in menthone type of AR collected at the inflorescences with buds stage and in estragole type of AR at the after full bloom stage. Considering major active volatile and non-volatile components with higher levels, full bloom stage and after full bloom stage should be optimal harvesting time for menthone type and estragole type of AR, respectively.

It is necessary to study the formation of aldehydes in oil at high temperature. Different from the traditional heating mechanism, microwave heating is widely used, and its effect on aldehydes is also noteworthy. In this paper, we mainly investigated the changes of volatile and non-volatile aldehydes in high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) under various microwave powers and treatment times. The findings indicate that the oil heated by microwave produces more than 20 volatile aldehydes and 4 non-volatile aldehydes (glycerol ester core aldehydes, GCAs). Hexanal , nonanal , (E)− 2-heptenal, (E)− 2-decenal, and (E,E)− 2,4-decadienal were higher in volatile aldehydes content, while GCAs gradually grew as microwave powers and treatment times increased. The GCAs concentration can increase to 0.72 ± 0.07 mg/kg when the oil is treated at 700 W for 30 min, with the content of four GCAs (8-oxo, 9-oxo, 10-oxo-8, 11-oxo-9) being 0.06 ± 0.01, 0.51 ± 0.06, 0.10 ± 0.00, 0.05 ± 0.00 mg/kg. In particular, GCAs (9-oxo) represented the majority of the overall amount of GCAs during the entire procedure.

Withering is one of the major processing steps critical for the quality of black tea. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the physicochemical changes in metabolites and gene expression during the withering process of black tea using metabolomic and transcriptomic approaches, respectively. Based on gas chromatography/mass spectrometry non-targeted metabolomic approaches (GC-MS) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS), a total of 76 volatile compounds and 160 non-volatile compounds were identified from tea leaves, respectively. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for the comparative combination of withering time (i.e., W4h, W6h, W8h, W10h, and W12h) compared with CK (i.e., fresh leaves) were 3634, 2906, 4127, 5736, and 7650, respectively. The core genes in starch metabolism, namely alpha-amylase (AMY) and beta-amylase (BAM), were upregulated as withering time increased. AMY and BAM contributed to the decomposition of starch to increase the soluble sugars. The content of tea leaf alcohols and aldehydes, which are the vital contributors for greenish aroma, gradually decreased as withering time increased due to the downregulation of associated genes while the compounds related to sweet and fruity characteristics increased due to the upregulated expression of related genes. Most DEGs involved in amino acids were significantly upregulated, leading to the increase in free amino acids content. However, DEGs involved in catechins metabolism were generally downregulated during withering, and resulted in a reduction in catechins content and the accumulation of theaflavins. The same trend was observed in alpha-linolenic acid metabolism-related genes that were downregulated and enhanced the reduction in grassy aroma in black tea. The weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of DEGs showed that one module can be associated with more components and one component can be regulated by various modules. Our findings provide new insights into the quality formation of black tea during the withering process.

The present study emphasizes the effect of withering time set at 4 ± 0.5 h (WT4), 6 ± 0.5 h (WT6), 8 ± 0.5 h (WT8), 10 ± 0.5 h (WT10), and 12 ± 0.5 h (WT12) on the sensory qualities, chemical components, and nutritional characteristics of black tea. The sensory evaluation revealed high total quality scores at WT8 and WT10. Polysaccharides, amino acids, and soluble sugars significantly increased with an increase in withering time, and an apparent peak value was obtained at WT10. However, polyphenols, flavonoids, glycosides, organic acids, catechins, alkanoids, and theaflavins decreased with an increase in withering time. With an increase in withering time, the content of aromatic substances showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The peaks of alcohols, aldehydes, and acids appeared at 10 ± 0.5 h, 10 ± 0.5 h, and 8 ± 0.5 h, respectively. The content of esters, ketones, and hydrocarbons showed a downward trend with an increase in withering time. Aroma analysis revealed that withering time could not exceed 10 ± 0.5 h. Black tea withered up to WT10 showed enhanced inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase activity with good sensorial attributes. Glucose uptake inhibition capacity increased up 6 ± 0.5 h and then decreased, while antioxidant capacity decreased with an increase in withering time. The overall results show that the 8 ± 0.5 h to 10 ± 0.5 h withering time could improve black tea quality and nutritional characteristics.Keywords:black tea;withering;quality;volatile compounds;nonvolatile;compounds;nutritional characteristics

BACKGROUND The rolling–cutting process (RCP) is a crucial process in crush–tear–curl (CTC) black tea, but its quality formation is far from clear. This study aims to elucidate the dynamics of sensory quality and metabolites through quantitative descriptive analysis, headspace solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS Sixteen key characteristic aromas with ratio of each relative odor activity value (rOAV) to the maximum rOAV (ROAV) ≥ 0.1, variable importance in projection (VIP) > 1, and P < 0.05 were screened out, and linalool, (2 E )-2-nonenal, and ( E )-2-hexenal were the top three ROAVs. The RCP mainly facilitated the release of grassy aromas through fatty acid oxidation while also promoting the synthesis of fruity aromas through monoterpene biosynthesis and phenylpropanoid/benzoid biosynthesis. Additionally, 72 non-volatiles (VIP > 1.50, P < 0.01) were identified as characteristic metabolites, and flavonoids accounted for the largest proportion. RCP accelerated the glycosylation of kaempferol and quercetin to enhance the bitter and astringent attributes. CONCLUSION These findings will promote the comprehension of CTC black tea quality formation in RCP. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

The systematic identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and non-VOCs will facilitate understanding the characteristic aroma and bioactive constituents of Dianhong. This article reported for the first time the volatile and non-volatile composition profiles of Dianhong from four main producing areas. A combined total of 42 VOCs were identified from four Dianhong samples by static headspace GC-MS. Thirteen VOCs were found to be important common components contributing to the characteristic aroma of Dianhong. The non-VOCs of Dianhong were evaluated by UPLC-ESI-MS, and Dianhong samples from four producing areas shared almost the same component profiles. Thirty-four components including derivatives of quinic acid, gallic acid, and catechin, flavone C-glycosides, flavonol O-glycosides, and alkaloids were characterized. Finally, catechin, gallic acid, 5-O-galloylquininc acid, and theobromine were characterized as the main non-VOCs in Dianhong. Dianhong samples from four main producing areas showed similar VOCs and non-VOCs profiles under our optimized GC-MS and LC-MS conditions.
