Fresh mulberry juice (MJ) faces industrial challenges due to its short shelf life and inconsistent flavor. This study innovatively addressed these limitations by applying L. plantarum (LP) and L. fermentum (LF) fermentation to MJ, combining non-targeted metabolomics and GC-IMS to systematically elucidate metabolic remodeling and flavor enhancement. Fermentation (36 h) achieved LAB counts > 7 log CFU/mL, significantly reducing soluble solids and pH from 15.00 to 13.90, 14.01 °Brix and 3.74 to 3.21, 3.13, respectively. In contrast, the bioactive compounds as detected by the increase in flavonoids and phenolics from 254.85 mg/100 g to 289.36, 291.39 mg/100 g and 286.21 mg/100 g to 294.55, 302.2033 mg/100 g, respectively. Anthocyanin content as high as 165.88 and 156.69 mg/L. Metabolomics identified enriched amino acid pathways, and GC-IMS revealed unique flavor profiles. The study fills a research gap by demonstrating LAB fermentation’s dual role in extending MJ’s shelf life and improving its functional nutritional quality, offering a novel strategy for functional food development.

Rapeseed oil is consumed worldwide, and its quality is closely related to the raw rapeseed material. In this work, the quality and flavor differences of rapeseed oil from twelve varieties with two growth periods were studied. The results showed that different varieties responded differently to changes in growth periods, with the GXY1 variety having the greatest combined effect. Shortening the growth period may reduce the moisture and protein content and increase the oil content of rapeseed. It may also enhance the oleic acid content and decrease the linoleic acid content. A total of 62 aroma compounds were identified by gas chromatography-ion migration spectrometry (GC-IMS), with aldehydes being the main flavor compounds. The flavor fingerprint of rapeseed oil derived from different varieties was effectively constructed. Seven key aroma compounds with relative odor activity value (ROAV) > 1 were identified, which significantly influenced the flavor of rapeseed oil. This work may provide new insights for selecting favorable rapeseed varieties for industrial production of high-quality rapeseed oil.

Greengage alcoholic beverage (GAB) is gaining popularity for its distinctive fruity aroma and nutritional benefits. TheSaccharomyces cerevisiaestrain applied for fermentation significantly influences the metabolic production of aroma compounds, making the selection ofS. cerevisiaestrains to be critical for enhancing the unique flavor profile of the GAB in commercial production. In this study, the effects of two common commercialS. cerevisiaestrains (SY, EC-1118) and two laboratory-derived strains (ET008-c54, NM-8) on the flavor profile of the GAB were investigated. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the GAB samples were analyzed using GC-E-Nose, HS-SPME-GC-MS, and HS-GC-IMS. Results showed significant differences in the flavor compound content of the GAB fermented by different strains. Nine VOCs were identified as potential markers by partial least squares–discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) combined with variable importance in projection (VIP), with ethyl esters playing a key role in distinguishing the aroma characteristics of different groups. Consequently, 13 aromatic compounds were selected and considered to be the typical VOCs of the GAB. Notably, β-ionone and ethyl octanoate emerged as representative aroma compounds, both showing the highest concentrations in the SY sample. These findings will provide valuable insights into the aroma differences of the GAB fermented by different strains and offer theoretical guidance for selecting suitable strains in the industrial production of the GAB.

Lilium browniivar.viridulum(Longya lily) is a widely used medicinal and culinary plant in China that is valued for its potential applications and development opportunities. The bulbs of Longya lily contain a variety of active components; volatile oil, as one of the main biologically active compounds, has been widely studied, and the stems, leaves, and flowers of Longya lily are also rich in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and related pharmacological effects, but the horizontal comparison of different organs of lily plants is lacking. In order to promote the sustainable development of resources, the composition characteristics and differences of bulbs, stems, leaves, and flowers, as well as two crop management methods (bud-removal and non-bud-removal), were comprehensively studied by GC-IMS technology in this study. Additionally, multivariate statistical analyses were used to identify the key components responsible for the observed differences among the plant organs and treatments. The research identified a total of 93 volatile organic compounds in Longya lily samples, primarily consisting of aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, and esters. If the VOCs of Longya lily are to be used as raw materials, it is advisable to choose flowers and leaves with a higher concentration of these components for harvesting. Notably, bulbs that were non-bud-removal exhibited a greater total content of volatile flavor substances compared to those that were treated with bud removal, with hexanal-D and (E)-2-hexenal-D being the most prevalent volatile organic compounds. This study provided theoretical support for the harvesting parts and crop management methods of Longya lily based on volatile organic compounds and promoted the high-quality development of the Longya lily industry.

In this study, coffee samples from seven primary processing methods—traditional dry processing (CG), dry processing I (GA), dry processing II (GB), traditional wet processing (CS), honey processing I (MA), honey processing II (MB), and honey processing III (MC)—underwent comprehensive investigation using HS-SPME/GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS. A total of 81 and 96 VOCs were identified by GC-MS and GC-IMS, respectively. The differences in VOCs among various primary processing samples were observed. The results demonstrated increased volatilization of coffee flavor substances due to anaerobic fermentation. CG, GA, and GB samples exhibited high levels of fruity, floral, and sweet aromas. Conversely, honey processing methods (MA, MB, and MC) enhanced the caramel, roasted aroma, and buttery flavor of coffee samples. PCA and PLS-DA successfully categorized coffee beans based on their aroma properties. These findings indicated that honey processing, combined with drying, significantly influenced coffee bean VOCs, enhancing caramel, roasted aroma, and buttery flavor—crucial for the characteristic volatile metabolites of Yunnan arabica coffee beans.

Floral and fruity aromas are vital indicators for evaluating the quality of the sauce-flavored Baijiu, however, are hard to analyze and elucidate due to the interference of other aromas in the liquor. Herein, we developed a pervaporation membrane separation technology (PV), that effectively reduces the complexity of analyzing floral and fruity aromas and enables the identification of key flavor compounds of the floral and fruity aromas in sauce-flavored Baijiu. Contributed to the separation via PV on flavor, liquor samples differing in floral and fruity aromas are efficiently separated that allows to be sensitively analyzed by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We found that a total of 29 compounds that potentially contributed to floral and fruity aroma. Aroma recombination and omission/addition experiments were conducted to verify the contribution of these compounds to the overall aroma, leading to the identification of 15 key aroma compounds including affecting floral and fruity aromas. And discovered esters serving as key components for contributing floral and fruity aromas. Meanwhile, Acetals can make the aromas become more coordinated and aldehydes facilitate floral and fruity aroma release.

The fermentation rounds in the brewing process of Qingxiangxing Baijiu (QXB) significantly influence its quality and flavor. This study investigates the flavor characteristics of two rounds of QXB: Dacha-Baijiu and Ercha-Baijiu. Analysis via HS-SPME-GC × GC-TOFMS revealed a higher number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Ercha-Baijiu, whereas Dacha-Baijiu exhibited elevated concentrations of alcohols and esters. Orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analyses indicated significant flavor differences between the two rounds. Based on odor activity value (OAV >1) assessment, 51 VOCs were identified as key aroma contributors, with β-damascenone, isovaleraldehyde, ethyl caprylate, and ethyl hexanoate being particularly prominent. Furthermore, 37 volatile compounds were accurately identified using GC-IMS, effectively constructing a fingerprint of the flavor differences between two rounds of QXB. Sensory analysis revealed significant distinctions in both aroma and taste. Dacha-Baijiu exhibited more intense aroma of sweet, floral, and grain, as well as taste of sour and fresh, while Ercha-Baijiu was marked by strong acid, alcoholic, and fruit aroma, as well as sweet, bitter and salty taste.

To investigate the influence of microbes on flavor attributes during solid-state fermentation of wheat bran insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), this study constructed CK (unfermented IDF), NF (native fermented IDF), YF (yeast fermented IDF), LF ( Lactobacillus plantarum fermented IDF) and MF (mixed fermented IDF) systems and studied their flavor profiles change during dynamic processes (12–48 h). The E-nose results indicated that the sensor response values of flavor compounds in the samples were increased as fermentation progressed (especially in the YF and MF groups). Also, the GC-MS findings verified that co-fermentation promoted flavor release and enhanced compound species. Cluster analysis validated E-nose results, while O2PLS-DA selected 8 flavor compounds with prominent VIP scores. Moreover, GC-IMS verified the differences in flavor formation in IDF, confirming a more balanced fermentation hypothesis in MF. Also, the fingerprints were compared and differentiated in the distribution of the 75 flavor compounds featured in different fermentation groups. This flavor formation and conversion pattern may be attributed to synthesizing and releasing flavor compounds during co-fermentation by degrading bran and utilizing its products. The production of this complex flavor is related to its components' interactions. Obtained results are expected to enhance whole grain flavored food development and high-value utilization of IDF.

This study addresses the identification and comparison of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in different peony varieties to elucidate their distinct aroma profiles and the common VOCs that constitute the unique fragrance of peony flowers, laying a foundation for breeding high-quality peony varieties and developing related products. Headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was employed to analyze and differentiate the VOCs of eight peony varieties: TAOXI, ZIHELIAN, BAITIANE, YAOHUANG, DAFUGUI, DAOJIN, HONGXIUQIU, and MANAOPAN. The study identified 87 VOCs, revealing significant differences in VOC compositions among the samples. Notably, BAITIANE displayed distinct differences in both color and VOC composition compared to the other seven varieties. It exhibited uniquely high levels of butanoic acid-M, butanoic acid-D, hexanal-D, ethanol-D, and ethyl acetate. Twelve key differential VOCs were identified as having significant impacts: ethanol-D, hexanal-D, (e)-2-hexenal-D, (e)-2-hexenal-M, hexanal-M, butanoic acid-M, acetic acid-D, acetic acid-M, butanoic acid-D, ethyl acetate, thiophene, and dimethyl sulfide. KEGG pathway analysis highlighted the roles of xenobiotics biodegradation, terpenoid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism in VOC biosynthesis. The findings are significant for the breeding of fragrant peony varieties and the development of floral-based products. The findings provide theoretical support for breeding new horticultural flower varieties and developing commercial peony products, enhancing the understanding of floral scent chemistry, and offering valuable information for the perfumery, floral food processing, and related industries.

In the present study, we evaluated the physicochemical and microbial properties, microbial diversity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Jinhua ham prepared using Taihu black pigs during a ripening period of 210 days. During the eight timepoints, the protein oxidation, proteolysis indexes, and TBARS values of Jinhua ham had different change trends. The growth of total bacteria and total Staphylococcus showed a decline, while the growth trend of total fungi was parabolic. Staphylococcus equorum was the dominant bacterial species, and the relative abundance were 19.3% (day 180)-76.7% (day 120). Debaryomyces hansenii and Eurotium sp. were the dominant fungus species, with opposite change trends. GC–IMS analysis detected 84 volatile compounds, with alcohols and aldehydes being the dominant volatile compounds in the late ripening period. The correlation analysis between microbial diversity and VOCs showed that Staphylococcus equorum was significantly negatively correlated with eight VOCs, while Debaryomyces hansenii and Eurotium sp. were significantly correlated with 31 and 29 VOCs respectively. Our findings reveal the quality, microbial diversity at species level, volatile compound characteristics, and relationship between microbial communities and flavor formation of Jinhua ham prepared using Taihu black pigs.

This study employed headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) technology combined with multivariate statistical analysis methods to analyze the flavor compounds in flue-cured tobacco from five different regions in China: Henan, Hunan, Yunnan, Chongqing, and Fujian. A total of 98 volatile aroma compounds were identified through HS-GC-IMS analysis, including esters, ketones, aldehydes, acids, alcohols, heterocyclic compounds, sulfur-containing compounds, other types of compounds, and 8 uncharacterized compounds. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) were utilized to conduct dimensionality reduction and distinguish the samples, effectively recognizing differences in volatile compounds among tobacco leaves from various origins. A Random Forest (RF) classification model was constructed, and its reliability was validated through ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) analysis, achieving an AUC (Area Under the Curve) value of 0.980, which demonstrates exceptional predictive performance. PCA revealed distinct separations of tobacco leaf samples from different regions on the PCA score plot, and OPLS-DA analysis further validated these differences and confirmed the model's validity through permutation testing. Twenty key aroma compounds with VIP > 1.0 were screened by integrating OPLS-DA with the Random Forest classification model. These compounds showed significant differences in content among different samples, suggesting their potential as chemical markers for distinguishing the origin of flue-cured tobacco. This study not only provides a new method for identifying volatile compounds in tobacco but also offers novel insights into the geographical identification of flue-cured tobacco.
