Pandan leaves have a prominent glutinous-rice aroma; however, few studies have explored their volatile aroma compound composition. Herein, the differences in the volatile aroma components of fresh and dried pandan leaves were investigated for the first time using HS–SPME–GC–O–MS combined with principal component analysis, orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, and HS-GC-IMS with aroma fingerprinting. A total of 93 volatile compounds were identified, exceeding previous reports, including 43 main flavor components with odor activity values (OAV) > 1. OAV and aroma extract dilution analysis tests reveal 13 main aroma volatiles including 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, hexanal, nonanal, phenylacetaldehyde, β-cyclocitral, butanal, ethyl caprylate, ethyl nonanoate, ethyl caprate, ethyl laurate, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, acetophenone, and α-ionone. Sixteen types of aromas were classified, and the results are presented as flavor wheels. The findings of this study elucidate the changes and retention of aroma volatiles in differently processed leaves, which could benefit food industry applications.

To understand the characteristic aroma compounds and their changes during the processing of sauce-flavoured black pork (SBP), headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-olfactometry mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-O-MS) was used to determine the volatiles during processing. A total of 63 volatiles were detected during the whole processing, including aldehydes, alcohols, esters, and furans, etc. The aroma characteristics of SBP are meaty, fatty, fruity, and grassy. During the processing, the aroma characteristics gradually shift from grassy and fruity aromas to being dominated by meaty, supplemented by fruity, fatty, and grassy aromas. Further, the impact of 25 characteristic aroma compounds on aroma changes was visualized through co-occurrence network analysis. Specifically, esters showed increasing centrality (network connectivity) in later stages, indicating their dominant role in transitioning aroma from grassy and fruity to meaty dominance. Ten key characteristic aroma compounds of SBP were confirmed based on molecular sensory science methods: isovaleraldehyde, hexanal, phenylacetaldehyde, eucalyptol, linalool, ethyl butyrate, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, ethyl isovalerate, ethyl hexanoate, and 2-pentylfuran. Esters are the most important contributor to the characteristic aroma of SBP, with significantly higher content (929.34 μg/kg) and aroma character impact (58 %) than aldehydes (662.35 μg/kg, 25 %).

To clarify the characteristic aroma compounds and flavor discrepancies of five Chinese typical pig species, headspace-solid phase microextraction gas chromatography–olfactometry-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-O-MS), electronic nose (E-nose), aroma recombination and omission experiments were used to analyze the characteristic aroma and boundary of five boiled pork. A total of 38 volatile compounds were identified, of which 14 were identified as important odorants with odor-activity values (OAVs) greater than 1. Aroma recombination and omission experiments revealed 8 key characteristic aroma compounds, which significantly contributed to the overall aroma. Sensory evaluation of the recombination model with the 8 aroma compounds scored 3.0 to 4.0 out of 5 points. 12 potential markers were identified to distinguish by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), including (E)-2-octenal, 3-ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-hexadiene, (E)-2-heptenal, 2-pentylfuran, cyclooctanol, 1-heptanol, sec -butylamine, D-limonene, N-vinylformamide, 2,3-octanedione, 2-ethylfuran and 3-pentanamine. Alongside benzaldehyde and pentanal, the combinations and fluctuations of these 14 aroma markers were proposed to constitute the aroma boundaries of different pork breeds. The aroma-active substances were able to effectively differentiate different breeds.

Sichuan industrial paocai and traditional home-made paocai have different aroma profiles due to different manufacturing techniques, but detailed information about the aroma profiles and aroma-producing microorganism of Sichuan industrial paocai remain largely elusive. For this reason, we established and validated an external standard method of headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) combined with gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC-O) for identification and accurate quantitation of aroma-active compounds in Sichuan industrial paocai. This method was combined with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to comprehensively analyze the aroma and bacteria profiles of Sichuan industrial paocai. A total of 121 volatile compounds were identified, among which 36 odorants were identified as aroma-active compounds with aroma intensities (AIs) ranging from 0.67 to 5.00 by GC-O. The types of aroma-active compounds in Sichuan industrial paocai were variety-specific to some extent, but the aroma-active compounds shared by different varieties of Sichuan industrial paocai (i.e., skeleton aroma-active compounds) were phenylethyl alcohol, acetic acid, butanoic acid, 2-methylbutanoic acid, ethyl hexanoate, 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol. Moreover, 17 key aroma-active compounds of AI > 1 in radish paocai were quantitated by external standard method, and their odor activity values (OAVs) were calculated based on the odor thresholds. Further, 12 aroma-active compounds with OAV ≥ 1 in one of the radish paocai were selected to construct the recombination model, which revealed good agreement with the original sample. Furthermore, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas were the dominant bacteria in Sichuan industrial paocai. Correlation analysis between 16 dominant bacteria and 36 aroma-active compounds showed that Pediococcus, Arcobacter and Lactobacillus could be the core aroma-producing bacteria of Sichuan industrial paocai.

Tanyang Congou black tea, renowned for its distinctive floral and fruity aroma, is meticulously produced using the shaking technique. However, the specific aroma profile and the key odor-active compounds responsible for this characteristic fragrance have not been fully elucidated. This study integrated sensory evaluation with molecular sensory science approaches to identify and characterize the principal odorants contributing to the tea's aroma. Sensory analysis confirmed that the prepared black tea exhibited typical high-quality attributes, with a prominent floral and fruity aroma markedly reduced in lower-grade samples. A total of 70 volatile compounds were detected, among which 29 key aroma-active compounds were identified across all three quality grades using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). Of these, 16 volatiles exhibited high flavor dilution (FD) factors (≥8), and 11 compounds showed relative odor activity values (ROAV) greater than 1. Notably, seven compounds—( E )- β -ionone, (E)-nerolidol, geraniol, citral, linalool, hexanal, and phenylacetaldehyde—were identified as the primary contributors to the characteristic floral-fruity aroma of Tanyang Congou black tea. These findings provide comprehensive insight into the aroma profile of Tanyang Congou black tea, offering a scientific basis for quality assessment and targeted aroma modulation in tea production.
