Flavor compounds with different structures showed distinct binding patterns. • Heat treatment enhanced flavor-protein interaction. • Binding was mainly driven by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic forces. • Glutelin contributed 65.9% to overall flavor binding. • Docking energies showed protein-dependent correlations with binding behavior. Interactions between rice proteins and flavor compounds play a crucial role in flavor retention and release. This study examined binding mechanisms with five key flavor compounds and the influence of heat treatment. Rice proteins showed relatively strong binding to (E)-2-octenal (45.05%), 1-octen-3-one (22.07%), and 2-pentylfuran (46.63%), which increased after heating, while 1-octen-3-ol (13.03%) and nonanoic acid (19.95%) showed lower binding and were more easily released. Spectroscopic analyses indicated that protein–flavor interactions were mainly driven by static quenching and accompanied by structural changes in rice proteins. Molecular docking suggested hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions as the major contributors, with residues ARG103, THR155, ARG52, and LYS143 in albumin, globulin, prolamin, and glutelin, respectively, contributing to binding specificity. Regression analysis quantified the contributions of storage proteins, highlighting glutelin as the dominant contributor (65.9%). Overall, this study clarifies protein–flavor interaction mechanisms and their heat-induced changes, offering insights for improving rice flavor quality.

Volatile compounds play vital roles in food sensory attributes and food quality. An analysis of volatile compounds could illustrate the sensory attributes at the microscale level. Here, untargeted profiling approaches for volatiles in five most-consumed meat species were established using headspace SPME-GC/high resolution Orbitrap MS. An extended high-resolution database of meat volatile compounds was established to enhance the qualification accuracy. Using sulfur-containing compounds, aldehydes, and ketones as the research model, the parameters including fiber coating types, extraction temperature, extraction time, and desorbing time were optimized. Principle component analysis, volcano analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis were applied to run the classification and the selection of discriminant markers between meat varieties, respectively. Different varieties could be largely distinguished according to the volatiles’ profiles. 1-Octen-3-ol, 1-octen-3-one, 2-pentyl furan and some other furans degraded from n-6 fatty acids would contribute to distinguishing duck meat from other categories, while methyl esters mainly from oleic acid as well as dimethyl sulfoxide and carbon disulfide possibly produced from the sulfur-containing amino acids contributed to the discrimination of beef. Therefore, volatiles’ profiling not only could interpret the aroma style in meat but also could be another promising method for meat differentiation and authentication.Keywords:differentiation;GC-HRMS;SPME;statistical analysis;untargeted profiling;volatiles

In this study, the physicochemical properties and aroma characteristics of broad bean koji in the disk starter propagation system (DSPS) were studied by comparing with those in the incubator koji-making system (IKS) and the traditional koji-making system (TKS). The total acid content, amino acid nitrogen content, spore numbers and enzyme activities in the DSPS were significantly higher than those in the TKS and IKS. Among the 194 volatiles detected by GC×GC–MS in these three processes, 133, 159 and 123 appeared in DSPS, TKS and IKS, respectively. Fourteen volatiles were identified as aroma-active compounds by GC–O–MS, of which 10 compounds with OAVs greater than 1 were identified as key aromas. The koji qualities in different systems presented differences gradually with the incubation continuing by PCA analysis. The quantity of physicochemical properties associated with enzyme activity in the DSPS, IKS and TKS was 23, 17 and 22 respectively by the correlation analysis. The results indicated that a better quality of broad bean koji could be obtained in the DSPS.

This study was designed to explore the effects of different ultrasound power levels (0–600 W) on the ability of myofibrillar protein (MP) to bind furan compounds by analyzing the results of SDS-PAGE, particle size, Raman spectra, fluorescence intensity, solubility, turbidity, zeta potential, surface hydrophobicity, sulfhydryl content, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). As ultrasound power levels were increased from 0 to 500 W, the hydrophobic bonding sites, hydrogen-bonding sites, and electrostatic effects increased due to the unfolding and depolymerization of MP, thus enhancing the ability of MP to bind furan (flavor-enhancing) compounds. Consistent with these results, the positive effect of ultrasound resulted in ability of MP to bind furan compounds increased by 19.00 % to 33.32 %. However, after 600-W ultrasound treatment, the MP aggregated again and the bonding sites were re-embedded, which decreased the furan-binding ability.

Since lipid oxidation often causes serious food safety issues worldwide, determination of oil’s oxidative deterioration becomes quite significant, which still calls for efficient analytical methods. In this work, high-pressure photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPPI-TOFMS) was firstly introduced for rapid detection of oxidative deterioration in edible oils. Through non-targeted qualitative analysis, oxidized oils with various oxidation levels were successfully discriminated for the first time by coupling HPPI-TOFMS with the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Furthermore, by targeted interpretation of the HPPI-TOFMS mass spectra and the subsequent regression analysis (signal intensities vs TOTOX values), good linear correlations were observed for several predominant VOCs. Those specific VOCs were promising oxidation indicators, which would play important roles as TOTOX to judge the oxidation states of tested samples. The proposed HPPI-TOFMS methodology can be used as an innovative tool for accurate and effective assessment of lipid oxidation in edible oils.

Beef potentiator is an important flavour enhancer in the food industry, while it is prone to generating insufficient compounds with umami and sweet tastes and compounds with a fishy odour during enzymatic hydrolysis of beef, resulting in poor flavour of beef potentiator. It has been extensively reported that sonication is capable of improving food flavour. However, the effect of sonication on the flavour of enzymatically hydrolysed beef liquid (EHBL) was scarcely reported. Herein, we investigated the effect of sonication on the flavour of EHBL using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), physicochemical analysis and SPME-GC-olfactometry/MS. QDA showed that sonication had a significant effect on taste improvement and off-odour removal of EHBL. Compared with the control, sonication (40 kHz, 80 W/L) increased the contents of total nitrogen, formaldehyde nitrogen, total sugars, reducing sugars, free amino acids (FAAs) and hydrolysis degree of EHBL by 19.25%, 19.80%, 11.83%, 9.52%, 14.37% and 20.45%. Notably, sonication markedly enhanced the contents of sweet FAAs, umami FAAs and bitter FAAs of EHBL by 19.66%, 14.04% and 9.18%, respectively, which contributed to the taste improvement of EHBL. SPME-GC-olfactometry/MS analysis showed that aldehydes and alcohols were the main contributors to aroma compounds of EHBL, and sonication significantly increased the contents of key aroma compounds and alcohols (115.88%) in EHBL. Notably, sonication decreased the contents of fishy odorants, hexanoic acid and nonanal markedly by 35.29% and 26.03%, which was responsible for the aroma improvement of EHBL. Therefore, sonication could become a new potential tool to improve the flavour of EHBL.Keywords:beef potentiator;enzymatically hydrolysed beef liquid;ultrasound;aldehydes;alcohols;flavour

This article presents investigation of the flavor profile on 5 different regional Chinese smoked chicken samples using gas chromatography−ion mobility spectrometry analysis methods. Five batches of samples were obtained over the course of 6 mo. A total of 34 flavor substances were identified in the 5 smoked chicken samples, including 10 aldehydes, 7 alcohols, 4 ketones, 2 hydrocarbons, 3 heterocyclic compounds, 4 esters, 2 ethers, and 2 phenolic compounds. The whole spectral fingerprint visually displayed flavor differences and relations in 5 types of smoked chicken with local characteristics. Moreover, the orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis model revealed that these samples could be separately classified into 5 groups. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that 20 chemicals with higher Variable Importance for the Projection values were the key contributors to the differences of flavor in these 5 kinds of smoked chicken. N-nonanal, heptanal, n-nonanal, heptanal, furfurol, and hexanal were the main common flavor compounds in the 5 types of Chinese smoked chicken, whereas linalool, alpha-terpineol, 1,8-cineole, and anethole were the main characteristic flavor compounds of Goubangzi chicken (No. 1); gamma-butyrolactone, 2-acetylfuran, 2-methoxyphenol, 2-acetylpyrrole, and limonene were determined as the key flavor compounds of Liaocheng chicken (No. 2); the concentration of octanal and n-nonanal was higher in Tangqiao chicken (No. 3); butyl acetate was the key contributor to the flavor compounds of Jinshan chicken (No. 4). 2-Heptanone and 2-pentylfuran had a high correlation with Zhuozishan chicken (No. 5). The different raw materials and ingredients used, especially the method of preparation and cultural differences, in different regions of the country in China were the main reasons leading to the similarities and differences of volatile compounds in the 5 kinds of Chinese traditional smoked chicken.

In order to help the poultry industry to generate higher quality products, the headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) technique was used to identify volatile substances formed during the processing of Dezhou braised chicken (DBC). A total of 37 volatile substances including aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, esters, terpenoids, furans and pyrazines were identified during DBC processing across seven sampling stages. The analyses identified 2-ethylhexanol as a key flavor chemical within the chicken carcasses, and found that ethyl acetate, 1-hexanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanone and 1-pentanol were mainly produced during the deep-frying stage of processing. Stewing with herbs and spices was found to be an important stage in the flavor impartation process. 2-Butanone, n -nonanal, heptanal and ethanol were positively related to processing stage 3, whereas processing stage 4 was characterized by ethyl propanoate, benzaldehyde, butyl acetate, 2-pentyl furan and 2-heptanone. The processing stages 5, 6 and 7 were not significantly different (P > 0.05) from each other.

Yellowfin tuna is one of the favorite aquatic foods and possesses high economic value due to its unique pleasant flavor and good nutrition quality. Volatile and nonvolatile compounds that affect the flavor quality of tuna fish during canning process were investigated. The volatiles were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with GC-MS and the nonvolatiles were characterized by free amino acids, 5′-nucleotides, and organic acids. Histidine, lysine, inosinic acid, tartaric acid, and succinic acid were the key taste compounds in tuna fish. A total of 7, 9, and 7 aroma-active compounds were identified in raw, cooked, and canned fish samples, respectively. Decanal, nonanal, octanal, and (E)-2-nonenal were the predominant odorants in raw samples. Octanal, nonanal, 2-pentylfuran, 1-octen-3-ol, hexanal, and 2-ethylfuran contributed to the characteristic flavor of cooked samples. 2-Methyl-3-furanthiol, octanal, and nonanal were the main aroma-active compounds detected in the canned samples responsible for the meaty and fatty odor. Practical applications Yellowfin tuna is one of the most commercial fish species for its excellent economic and nutritional value. The tuna fish processing methods are mainly frozen, cooked, smoked, and canned after thermal processing. The flavor components of tuna would vary greatly depending on the processing method. Although quality characteristics are very important for the economic value of tuna, there is scarce information comparing the volatile and nonvolatile compounds in tuna meat during canning process. This research could provide basis data for the process and the quality improvement of tuna products.

A Streptomyces albulus strain NJZJSA2 was isolated from the forest soil sample of Tzu-chin Mountain (Nanjing China) and identified based on its morphological and physiological properties and 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. The strain S. albulus NJZJSA2 was evaluated for the production of antifungal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) against two fungal pathogens. Results showed that the VOCs generated by S. albulus NJZJSA2 inhibited mycelial growth of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (SS) and Fusarium oxysporum (FO) by 100 and 56.3%, respectively. The germination of SS sclerotia and FO conidia was completely inhibited in the presence of VOCs produced by S. albulus NJZJSA2 in vitro . In soil, the VOCs delayed the germination of SS sclerotia and inhibited the germination of FO conidia for 45 days. The strain S. albulus NJZJSA2 was able to produce 13 VOCs based on GC/MS analyses. Among those, six compounds were purchased and used for the antifungal activity assay. Three relatively abundant VOCs, 4-methoxystyrene, 2-pentylfuran, and anisole were proved to have antifungal activity. Microscopy analysis showed that the pathogen hyphae were shriveled and damaged after treatment with 4-methoxystyrene. These results suggest that the S. albulus strain NJZJSA2 produce VOCs that not only reduce the growth of SS and FO, but also significantly inhibit the SS sclerotia and FO conidia. The results are useful for the better understanding of biocontrol mechanisms by S. albulus strains and will help to improve the biological control efficiency of lethal plant diseases.

BACKGROUND Beer is a popular alcoholic malt beverage resulting from fermentation of the aqueous extract of malted barley with hops. The aroma of brewing barley impacts the flavor of beer indirectly, because some flavor compounds or their precursors in beer come from the barley. The objectives of this research were to study volatile profiles and to characterize odor-active compounds of brewing barley in order to determine the variability of the aroma composition among different brewing barley cultivars. RESULTS Forty-one volatiles comprising aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, organic acids, aromatic compounds and furans were identified using solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, among which aldehydes, alcohols and ketones were quantitatively in greatest abundance. Quantitative measurements performed by means of solvent extraction and calculation of odor activity values revealed that acetaldehyde, 2-methylpropanal, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, 3-methyl-1-butanol, cyclopentanol, 2,3-butanedione, 2,3-pentanedione, 2-heptanone, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, 2-pentylfuran and benzeneacetaldehyde, whose concentrations exceeded their odor thresholds, could be considered as odor-active compounds of brewing barley. CONCLUSION Principal component analysis was employed to evaluate the differences among cultivars. The results demonstrated that the volatile profile based on the concentrations of aroma compounds enabled good differentiation of most barley cultivars. © 2014 Society of Chemical Industry

en The autolyzed mycelia of Aspergillus oryzae are rich in proteins, nucleic acids, sugar, and other biomacromolecules, and are one of the main contributors to the flavor profile of commercially important fermented goods, including soy sauce and miso. We induced autolysis of the mycelia of A. oryzae over 1 to 10 d, and found that the maximum dissolved amounts of total protein and nucleic acid ratio accounted for 28.63% and 88.93%, respectively. The organic acid content, such as citric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid, initially increased and then decreased as autolysis progressed, corresponding to changes in pH levels. The main characteristic flavor compounds in soy sauce, namely, ethanol, 2-phenylethanol, and 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, were all detected in the autolysate. Subsequently, we tested the effect of adding mycelia of A. oryzae during the fermentation process of soy sauce for 60 d, and found that addition of 1.2‰ A. oryzae mycelia provided the richest flavor. Overall, our findings suggest that compounds found in the autolysate of A. oryzae may promote the flavor compounds of soy sauce, such as alcohols, aldehydes, phenols, and esters. Practical Application pt Autolysate of Aspergillus oryzae mycelium contains rich nutrients and volatile flavor compounds, which is an important component of fermentation seasoning. This study provides a theoretical basis for developing the autolysate products of mycelia of A. oryzae and studying the flavor formation of soy sauce. The autolysate of A. oryzae may also be used to prepare healthy drinks and seasoning products.
