This study described the rapid detection of milled rice infected with Aspergillus spp. species based on headspace-gas chromatography ion-mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and electronic nose (E-nose) combined with chemometrics, namely principal component analysis (PCA), k-nearest neighbor (kNN) and partial least squares regression (PLSR). 3D HS-GC-IMS imaging and their response differences enabled the discrimination among fungal species. kNN was used to differentiate rice samples with cdifferent levels of fungal infection and achieved correct classified rate of 94.44% and 91.67% by HS-GC-IMS and E-nose, respectively. PLSR method was used for quantitative regression of fungal colony counts in rice samples and good prediction performances were achieved by HS-GC-IMS (R p 2 = 0.909, RMSEP = 0.202) and E-nose (R p 2 = 0.864, RMSEP = 0.235). The results indicated that both HS-GC-IMS and E-nose approaches can potentially be implemented for the detection of fungal contamination levels in milled rice, and HS-GC-IMS fingerprinting coupled with chemometrics might be used as an alternative tool for a highly sensitive method. This research might provide scientific information on the rapid, non-destructive, and effective fungal detection system for rice grains .

E-tongue analysis shows that Isoleucine (Ile) enhances the overall flavor of flesh. • Ile affects volatile content in flesh, as shown by E-nose and GC–MS analysis. • Ile enhanced fatty acid (FA) synthesis and elevated FA content. • Ile promoted the movement of FA from lipid droplets to mitochondria for oxidation. • Ile increased adenosine phosphate content while decreasing hypoxanthine in flesh. This experiment used combination of electronic tongue, electronic nose, and gas chromatography mass spectrometry methods to analyze the impact of dietary isoleucine (Ile) on the flavor in grass carp muscle. Key findings include: Ile improved the sweetness and umami and reduced sourness and bitterness of the flesh. Ile inhibited sulfide and the relative content of volatile compounds like nonanal and hexanal in muscle. Second, Ile enhanced the content of adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, and adenosine monophosphate, and decreased the content of hypoxanthine. Furthermore, Ile raised the content of fatty acid (FA) and the enzymes related to FA synthesis. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that dietary Ile improved flesh flavor by reducing the relative content of volatile compounds like 1-octen-3-ol and increasing the content of FA and nucleotides, providing valuable insights into improving flesh quality.

In this study, the evolution of key flavor compounds in sonit sheep lamb during grilling process has been studied by the E-nose, E-tongue, HS-GC-IMS technique and physicochemical methods. The results showed that the moisture content in lamb decreased, protein content increased due to water loss, fat content reduced due to thermal degradation during the grilling process. The pH showed an initial rapid decrease with significant differences at various grilling times (P < 0.05). The E-nose and E-tongue were found effective in distinguishing lamb samples during grilling duration. A total of 83 volatiles were identified by HS-GC-IMS. Among them, 29 flavor compounds with VIP > 1 were identified as the key flavor substances using the OPLS-DA model. Ethyl acrylate was the main characteristic flavor compounds in raw Sonit Sheep lamb, while ethanol and 1-butanol were determined as the key flavor compounds at 3 and 6 min. Ethylpyrazine, (E)-2-octenal, and nonanal are key substances at 9 min grilling. When grilled for 12 min, the flavor compounds such as 2-methylpropanal, ethyl ethanoate, and trimethylpyrazine became the most important flavor compound in the grilled lamb.

Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a promising plant-based protein source , whereas the volatile off-flavours derived from lipid oxidation substantially limit consumer acceptance. Selenium (Se) is recognised as a beneficial trace element that can improve flavour characteristics in plants by enhancing antioxidant capacity. This study investigated the effects of Se supplementation (0–2 mg/L) on the volatile profile of C. pyrenoidosa and explored the underlying mechanisms. E-nose analysis revealed significant differences in flavour profile among the treatments. GC–IMS and GC–MS identified 25 and 28 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), respectively. Fifteen key aroma compounds were screened by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS–DA), random forest (RF) modelling, and odour activity value (OAV) and relative OAV (ROAV) calculations. Notably, 0.50 mg/L Se was identified as the optimal enrichment concentration, as it improved overall flavour quality by reducing aldehyde accumulation, particularly hexanal. This improvement was attributed to Se-mediated reductions in lipid content and enhanced antioxidant capacity, as evidenced by increased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and alleviated lipid peroxidation, alongside decreased lipoxygenase (LOX) and hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) activities by 60.08% and 37.31% respectively, thereby inhibiting the formation of off-flavour VOCs. Overall, this study provides the first evidence that Se modulates the flavour profile of C. pyrenoidosa and preliminarily elucidates the mechanism by which appropriate Se supplementation improves flavour quality through reshaping biochemical composition, maintaining redox homeostasis, and regulating key enzymes involved in aldehyde biosynthesis. These findings offer a theoretical foundation for developing novel functional microalgal-based foods.

This study investigated the synergistic effect of fat and sarcoplasmic protein on the flavor profile of chicken white soup. The impact of adding 2% fat (2%O), 0.56% sarcoplasmic protein (0.56%P), and their combination (2%O-0.56%P) on volatile compounds, taste components, and sensory characteristics was evaluated. Through odor activity value (OAV) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) analysis, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, (E)-2-octen-1-al, and 1-octen-3-ol were identified as key aroma contributors. The combination of 2%O and 0.56%P markedly enhanced the aroma profile of the chicken soup, concurrently achieving the highest levels of amino acids and 5′-nucleotides. Furthermore, electronic tongue analysis revealed that the chicken soup supplemented with 2%O-0.56%P exhibited the lowest bitterness value and achieved the highest overall acceptability. These findings demonstrate that the synergistic effect of fat and sarcoplasmic protein effectively improves the flavor quality of chicken white soup, providing a theoretical basis for developing flavorful, tasty, and consumer-preferred chicken soup products.

The freshness in A. japonicus after thymol treatment was tested. The results showed that sensory scores in thymol group significantly increased 14.83 and 21.67 compared to the Frozen and BK groups after storage. Texture parameters showed that hardness, springiness, and chewiness of body wall treated with thymol were 2.56, 1.21, and 2.02 folds that of the BK group, respectively. Volatile flavor results revealed 38 flavor substances and 33 volatile organic compounds in the body wall. Aldehydes, alcohols, heterocycles, and alkane were the key sources to odor components of A. japonicus , including nonanal, hexanal, 1-octanol, 1-hexanol, d -limonene, and 2-methylbutyl acetate. Moreover, heptenoic acid, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethylamine, as distinct volatile flavor substances, were the main contributors of fishy, malodorous, and spicy smells of autolysis A. japonicus . This study guides the potential use of thymol in sea cucumber preservation and seeks the spoiled flavor markers for non-destructive rapid testing technology development.

Tobacco is an agricultural commodity with great economic significance. Producers recognize that the flavor characteristics of filler tobacco clear-out (FTLs) affect the quality of cigar tobacco items. To identify the major volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible for differences in FTLs, E-nose, HS-SPME-GC–MS, and HS-GC-IMS were employed for multi-dimensional analysis of nine groups of FTLs at various fermentation stages. The E-nose results indicated a progressive increase in nitrogen-oxygen compounds during fermentation. Coupled with these findings, HS-SPME-GC–MS identified 56 VOCs, and HS-GC-IMS revealed 55 VOCs in the FTLs. Principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that FTLs from various fermentation stages of the Yunxue No 39 tobacco plant exhibit significant differences. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), along with the variable importance in projection (VIP) method for feature selection, pinpointed 12 VOCs as the essential unmistakable metabolites embroiled within the agrarian fermenting prepare of matured FTLs. During the fermentation process, these crucial metabolites are predominantly enriched in pathways including pyruvate metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, as well as nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. The study provides insights into the differences and diversity of FTLs at agricultural fermentation stages. It offers valuable information for optimizing the quality of agricultural fermentation and guiding the directional fermentation of tobacco leaves.

This study investigated volatile organic compound (VOC) variations across commercial grades (G1, G2, G3) of Chinese black truffles ( Tuber indicum ) using electronic nose ( E -nose), headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPM E -GC–MS), and headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS). E-nose analysis revealed significant differences in sulfur-containing and terpenic compounds between grades. HS-SPME-GC–MS identified 95 VOCs, with G1 exhibiting the highest diversity (75 compounds) and unique markers like 2-butanone. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) highlighted 86 discriminatory VOCs (VIP > 1). Odor activity value (OAV) analysis showed G1 had the strongest aroma intensity, driven by esters (ethyl isobutyrate, OAV = 6574) and alcohols (1-octen-3-ol, OAV = 3444). Higher-grade truffles (G1) contained distinct sulfur compounds absent in lower grades. This multi-technique approach provides a biochemical basis for refining truffle grading standards beyond morphological criteria.

The cooking process exerts a notable influence on the flavor characteristics of fish. E-nose, GC-MS, and GC-IMS technologies were utilized to investigate how three thermal processing methods (steaming, frying, and roasting) alter the volatile odors of paddy field carp (PFC). GC-MS and GC-IMS analyses indicated that the volatile compound compositions of steaming and raw samples were relatively similar. Unique compounds such as hexanal, nonanal, and 2, 3-octanedione endowed paddy field carp with grassy, fatty, and fishy odors. Roasting significantly increased both the variety and content of volatile compounds. The content of pyrazines increased significantly after frying. E-tongue showed a substantial increase in umami taste after cooking, with roasting having the highest equivalent umami concentration at 29.95 mg/100 g. Sensory evaluations revealed that frying scored the highest overall (78.08) and was most favored. This study offered insights for further processing, flavor enhancement, and quality improvement of PFC.

Blanched chicken, boiling the whole chicken without removing head and butt parts during process, is a traditional poultry product in China. In this manuscript, the flavor differences of five parts (skin, breast, thigh, head and butt) of the Chinese blanched chicken (CBC) were studied using sensory evaluation and instrumental analysis. Check-all-that-apply (CATA), rate-all-that-apply (RATA), and 9-point hedonic preference were used to collect consumers’ sensory results. Gas chromatograph-time of flight mass spectrometer (GC-ToF-MS) and electronic nose (E-nose) were used to discriminate flavor variances. CATA perceptions showed different parts of CBC stimulated consumers’ odor and emotion feelings differently. GC-ToF-MS and E-nose data elaborated that the flavor of breast with chicken-like flavor was better than the other parts. Consumers preferred the chicken breast part the most. This analysis of different parts of CBC could provide advice to cater consumers’ preference and predict the quality change might induce.

Food authenticity regarding different varieties and geographical origins is increasingly becoming a concern for consumers. In this study, headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC–MS) and fast gas chromatography electronic nose (fast GC e-nose) were used to successfully distinguish the varieties and geographical origins of dried gingers from seven major production areas in China. By chemometric analysis, a distinct separation between the two varieties of ginger was achieved based on HS-GC–MS. Furthermore, flavor information extracted by fast GC e-nose realized the discrimination of geographical origins, and some potential flavor components were selected as important factors for origin certification. Moreover, several pattern recognition algorithms were compared in varietal and regional identification, and random forest (RF) led to the highest accuracies for discrimination. Overall, a rapid and precise method combining multivariate chemometrics and algorithms was developed to determine varieties and geographical origins of ginger, and it could also be applied to other agricultural products.

The key aroma compounds in the pre- and postrigor roasted mutton were studied in this study. The results showed that 33 and 30 odorants were detected in the pre- and postrigor roasted mutton, respectively. Eight aroma compounds, including 3-methylbutanal, pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, 1-octen-3-ol, and 2-pentylfuran, were confirmed as key odorants by aroma recombination and omission experiments. The aroma profiles of pre- and postrigor roasted mutton both presented great fatty, roasty, meaty, grassy, and sweet odors. Particularly, the concentrations of hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, 1-octen-3-ol, and 2-pentylfuran in postrigor roasted mutton were significantly higher (p< 0.05) than those in the prerigor roasted mutton. The postrigorback strapwas more suitable for roasting than the prerigorback strap. The pre- and postrigor roasted mutton could be obviously discriminated based on the aroma compounds by orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) and principal component analysis (PCA). Hexanal and 1-octen-3-ol might potential markers for the discrimination of the pre- and postrigor roasted mutton.Keywords:roasted mutton;pre- and postrigor;key aroma compounds;marker;recombination and omission experiments
