The effects of jujube pretreatment at different roasting temperatures (80–160 °C) on the dynamic changes in free amino acids and volatile organic compounds in jujube wine were evaluated using HPLC, HS-GC-IMS, HS-SPME-GC–MS, and sensory analysis. The results revealed that roasting at 80–100 °C enhanced the accumulation of sweet amino acids in jujube wine, whereas roasting at 140–160 °C increased the bitter amino acid content. As the roasting temperature increased, the contents of esters, alcohols, acids, aldehydes, and ketones in jujube wine rose initially before declining thereafter. Meanwhile, the furan compound content exhibited a continuous increase. Through multivariate statistical analyses, including orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), relative odor activity value (ROAV) calculations, and variable importance in projection (VIP), six key characteristic flavor compounds were identified. These included isoamyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, and ethyl octanoate. The novel insights derived from this study could guide the improvement of jujube wine flavor.

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.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the main chemical components ofSchizonepetae Spica(SS), which have positive effects on the quality evaluation of SS. In this study, HS-SPME-GC-MS (headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) and HS-GC-IMS (headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry) were performed to characterize the VOCs of SS from six different regions. A total of 82 VOCs were identified. In addition, this work compared the suitability of two instruments to distinguish SS from different habitats. The regional classification using orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) shows that the HS-GC-IMS method can classify samples better than the HS-SPME-GC-MS. This study provided a reference method for identification of the SS from different origins.Keywords:volatile organic compounds;Schizonepetae Spica;HS-SPME-GC-MS;HS-GC-IMS;OPLS-DA

New insight was systematically elucidated on variations of overall flavor characteristics in shiitake mushrooms ( Lentinula edodes ) affected by different drying techniques (hot air-drying (HD), vacuum freeze-drying (VFD), and VFD combined with HD (VFD-HD)). The volatile fingerprints of shiitake mushrooms were successfully established by headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), and taste profiles and concentrations of non-volatile substances in mushrooms were analyzed. Comparison of aroma fingerprints associated with three drying approaches demonstrated that HD caused considerable losses of volatile compounds except for volatile acids, while VFD and VFD-HD preserved aroma compounds effectively. By application of PLSR analysis, strong “seasoning-like” and “fruity” aromas of VFD-HD mushrooms were closely correlated with 2,6-dimethylpyrazine and esters respectively. Additionally, the umami intensity of VFD-HD mushrooms was similar to HD samples and significantly higher than VFD ones. Furthermore, the correlation between the electronic tongue and sensory attributes was explored. The results obtained from this study revealed that VFD-HD could combine the advantages of single HD and VFD, producing high flavor quality mushroom products.

The flavor characteristics of Baijiu, including differences in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sensory evaluation, are critical for determining its quality grade, which is also influenced by the fermentation time of the grains. However, the fermentation mechanisms of most types of Baijiu remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the flavor characteristics of three quality grades of Jinyu-wan Fuxiang Baijiu (JFXB) at two different fermentation times. A high number of VOCs were revealed via two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOF-MS), while principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analyses (OPLS-DA) indicated significant VOC differences among samples. Relative odor activity value (ROAV) assessment identified 12 VOCs with ROAV > 1 that were regarded as the key aroma contributors, along with 31 key differential VOCs with variable importance in projection (VIP) values greater than 1 (VIP > 1). Headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) accurately identified 62 VOCs, establishing a VOC fingerprint and revealing 21 VOCs with VIP > 1. Sensory analysis revealed significant differences in the aroma, taste, and appearance of the samples. Overall, this study elucidates the flavor characteristics of Fuxiang Baijiu (FXB), providing valuable insights for the flavor quality control of FXB and a foundation for its fermentation process.

Lard imparts unique organoleptic properties that underpin its essential role in Chinese gastronomy; however, the specific lipid precursors contributing to its aroma remain unclear. This study explores the flavor formation mechanism of lard by comparing its texture and aroma at two preparation temperatures, 130 °C and 100 °C. We identified a total of 256 and 253 lipids at these temperatures, respectively, with triacylglycerols (TGs) and diacylglycerols (DGs) being the predominant lipid species. An HS-GC-IMS analysis detected 67 volatile compounds, predominantly aldehydes, acids, and alcohols. A subsequent Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) identified 49 discriminatory lipids and 20 differential volatiles. A correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between aldehydes and unsaturated triglycerides in lard, with TG (16:1-16:1-18:0), TG (17:2-18:1-18:1), TG (16:1-17:1-18:1), and TG (18:1-18:1-20:1) identified as characteristic markers at both temperatures. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between ketones and alcohols and phospholipids and sphingolipids containing unsaturated fatty acid chains. TGs and glycerophospholipids (GPs), rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, are likely key precursors driving the formation of distinct flavors during lard processing. This study elucidates the mechanistic interactions between lipids and volatile organic compounds, providing a framework for optimizing lard processing protocols and flavor modulation.

The chemical compositions and volatile profiles of wax gourd seed oil (WGSO), watermelon seed oil (WSO), pumpkin seed oil (PSO), cucumber seed oil (CSO), and bitter gourd seed oil (BGSO) were comparatively explored for the first time. All oils complied with standards for physicochemical properties and BGSO had the highest phenolic content. Their mineral levels varied significantly. The fatty acid composition of WGSO, WSO, PSO, and CSO was similar, predominantly linoleic acid. Whereas BGSO exhibited a distinct fatty acid profile with 55.38 % α-eleostearic acid. All samples were rich in tocopherols and squalene, with WSO having the highest total tocopherol content and PSO having the highest squalene content. HS-GC–IMS and HS-SPME-GC–MS detected 118 and 67 VOCs, respectively, primarily consisting of aliphatic aldehydes, alcohols, esters, and ketones. Principal component analysis confirmed that BGSO had the most distinctive volatile characteristics, while the other four seed oils shared similar VOC profiles.

Huajiao ( Zanthoxylum bungeanum maxim. and Zanthoxylum armatum DC.) is a highly prized spice in China due to its distinctive aroma and taste. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of eight kinds of red and green huajiao which varied according to geographical indication of P.R. China were evaluated by electronic nose (E-nose), headspace solid-phase microextraction–gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) and headspace-gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS). Results showed that red huajiao emitted more terpenes, esters, and fewer alcohols than green huajiao. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis based on GC–MS and GC-IMS data was revealed a good classifying tool for huajiao from different original habitats. Four and eight aroma substances were selected as the potential markers by the variable importance in projection (VIP) variable selection method, respectively. The results of the current study provide a useful basis in the huajiao aroma difference study. Additionally, a rapid huajiao aroma analysis method using GC-IMS was developed.

Introduction Zhoupigan ( Citrus reticulata cv. Manau Gan), also known as Zangju or Shitougan, is a distinctive Chinese citrus resource valued for both traditional medicinal uses and food flavoring, and is notably rich in essential oils (EOs). However, the chemical composition and bioactivity of Zhoupigan peel essential oil (ZJPEO) remain insufficiently understood, limiting its effective utilization. Methods In this study, ZJPEO was extracted by steam distillation (SD) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and analyzed using FTIR, E-nose, HS-GC-IMS and HS-SPME-GC-MS. And its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were evaluated in vitro . Results FTIR and E-nose revealed clear compositional differences between steam-distilled essential oil (SDEO) and supercritical fluid-extracted essential oil (SFEO). HS-GC-IMS detected 63 VOCs and, based on VIP > 1, identified five marker compounds. HS-SPME-GC-MS identified 1,250 VOCs, showing terpenoids and esters as major contributors to aroma and bioactivity. KEGG enrichment highlighted sesquiterpene and triterpene biosynthesis as key pathways. Flavor wheel analysis indicated that SFEO had stronger sweet, green, and woody notes and exhibited potent antioxidant and antimicrobial activities associated with specific VOCs. Discussion Overall, this work supports optimizing ZJPEO extraction and promoting its value-added, sustainable utilization.

Aspergillus cristatus , the predominant microbe of Fuzhuan brick tea (FBT) , is responsible for the creation of distinctive golden flower and unique floral aroma of FBT. The present study examined the alterations in chemical and aromatic components of raw dark tea by solid-state fermentation using A. cristatus (MK346334), the strain isolated from FBT. As results, catechins, total ployphenols, total flavonoids, theaflavins, thearubigins and antioxidant activity were significantly reduced after fermentation. Moreover, 112 and 76 volatile substances were identified by HS-SPME-GC–MS and HS-GC-IMS, respectively, primarily composed of alcohols, ketones, esters and aldehydes. Furthermore, the calculation of odor activity values revealed that 19 volatile chemicals, including hexanal, heptanal, linalool and methyl salicylate, were the main contributors to the floral, fungal, woody and minty aroma of dark tea. The present research highlights the pivotal role played by the fermentation with A. cristatus in the chemical composition, antioxidant property and distinctive flavor of dark tea.

To enhance the aroma complexity and commercial potential of Chinese black truffle (Tuber indicum), enzymatic hydrolyzates (EH) were subjected to Maillard reaction (MR) with xylose/cysteine under varying temperatures (90–130 °C). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in MR products (MRPs) were characterized using an E-nose, HS-SPME-GC-MS, and HS-GC-IMS coupled with chemometrics (PCA, OPLS-DA). MR significantly increased VOC diversity (216 compounds identified vs 82 in EH), with sulfur-containing compounds and heterocyclics emerging exclusively in MRPs. Temperature critically influenced VOC profiles: 130 °C (MRPs130) yielded the highest VOC abundance and key odorants, as confirmed by the odor activity value (OAV) analysis. Sankey diagrams visualized a flavor shift from mushroom/earthy notes in EH to enhanced fruity, green, and roasted nuances in MRPs130. This strategy effectively improves the Chinese truffle aroma, offering theoretical and practical insights for value-added processing.
