Abstact The jujube-like aroma is widely regarded as a noble aroma of Pu-erh tea (PET), but the key odor-active compounds remain unclear. Thus, the molecular sensory science approaches were used to decode the key odor-active compounds of PET with jujube-like aroma. Sixty-eight volatiles were identified in both PETs and jujube sample. Among them, 19 odor-active compounds were identified by relative odor activity value (ROAV) and Pearson correlation analysis. Aroma recombination experiment successfully reproduced the characteristic jujube-like aroma of PET. Omission experiments identified 17 aroma compounds have significant contributions ( p < 0.05), with 9 key odor-active compounds including 1-octen-3-ol, hexanal, etc. ( p < 0.001). This study elucidates the key odor-active compounds of jujube-like aroma in PET, to provide a theoretical reference for the targeting process regulation of the product.
Huangjiu (yellow rice wine) from Shanxi province, with a dominant Zao-aroma (fermented grain aroma), is particularly popular in northern China. The key aroma compounds in Huangjiu from Shanxi province were characterized by sensory-directed flavor analysis. A total of 106 compounds separated with solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) distillation were identified by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) coupled with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and odor specific magnitude estimation (Osme). Forty-seven of them were further quantitated and 21 odorants had odor activity values (OAVs) ≥ 1. The aroma profiles of three recombination models had >95.84% similarities to their corresponding samples. And then, the omission/addition tests further confirmed that β -phenylethanol, 3-methylbutanoic acid, ethyl lactate, sotolon, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, vanillin, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl 3-phenylpropionate, 3-methylbutanal, and methional were the key odorants for Huangjiu from Shanxi province. Meanwhile, it was firstly confirmed that ethyl cinnamate and ethyl 3-phenylpropionate played the key roles in the overall aroma of Huangjiu.
