The addition of Spirulina platensis in chocolate bar was reported to be able to increase the carotenoid content. Unfortunately, the fortified dry biomass generated fishy odor. In recent years, we succeeded to extract carotenoid from S. platensis, which was then encapsulated using a mixture of gum arabic and WPC by nanoemulsion technique. It helped reduce the fishy odor and concentrate carotenoid content in the nanocapsules. This study aimed to determine the effect of S. platensis’s carotenoid nanocapsules on the flavor profiles of dark and milk chocolate. The S. platensis’s carotenoid nanocapsules were added at a dose of 0.37% (w/w). Flavor profiles were detected using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. A total of 79 aroma active were detected. The dark chocolate had a specific aroma of strong acidic chocolate, enriched with creamy and sweet. Meanwhile, the milk chocolate was dominated by creamy, cheesy, and sweet. The fortified chocolate had lower concentration of acids and aldehydes but had higher pyrazines and alcohols. Volatile compound that responsible for the fishy odor in Spirulina platensis was not detected in fortified chocolate. In conclusion, the fortification increased the intensity of sweet and chocolate flavor, decreased the bitter and sour flavor, and did not generate any unpleasant odor.

Thirty one Jerez vinegar samples and 33 Huelva vinegar samples were analyzed for polyphenolic and volatile compound content in order to characterize them and attempt to differentiate them. Sixteen polyphenolic compounds were quantified by means of ultraperformance liquid chromatography method with diode array detection (UPLC–DAD), and 37 volatile compounds were studied by means of stir bar sorptive extraction–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SBSE–GC–MS). Spectrophotometric CIELab parameters were also measured for all the samples. The results obtained from the statistical multivariate treatment of the data evidenced a clear difference between vinegars from the two geographical indications with regard to their polyphenolic content, with Jerez vinegars exhibiting a greater phenolic content. Differentiation by the volatile compound content was, however, not so evident. Nevertheless, a considerable differentiation between the two groups of vinegars based on their volatile fraction was achieved. This may bring to light the grape varieties and geographical factors that have a clear influence on such differences.

Bemisia tabaci is one of the red chili pests that plays a role as a Begomovirus vector. This vector can be controlled through Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices. One of the potential practices is by utilizing corn as a barrier crop to prevent the vector from attacking the main crop. The aim of this research was to examine the repellence activity of the volatile compound obtained from various ages of corn crop against B. tabaci. The volatile compound was collected from the corns at 4 week after planting (WAP), 6 WAP, 8 WAP, 10 WAP, and 12 WAP. Volatile compound capture device was designed with two solvents, i.e. hexane and ethanol, then the volatile compound analyzed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). B. tabaci repellency against volatile compound was examined using Y-tube olfactometer. Each treatment was employed with 5 replications. Data were analyzed using ANOVA with 95% and further analyzed by Least Significant Different (LSD). The parameter observed was the total of B. tabaci avoided the volatile compound tested until half of the control olfactometer arm. The results showed that all ages of the corn produced repellent compound and the most optimal were corn aged 12 WAP with repellency rate of 83.72%. GC-MS analysis identified the volatile compound were citronella, limonene, β-phellandrene, β-caryophyllene, 1.8 cineole, farnesol, caryophyllene, and patchouli alcohol.

Kelp (Laminaria japonica) is an important marine resource with low cost and rich nutrition. However, its fishy odor has compromised consumer acceptance. In this study, the effects of fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum FSB7, Pediococcus pentosaceus CICC 21862 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1.008 on fishy notes in kelp was studied using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and odor activity values (OAVs). Forty-four volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified in unfermented kelp, most of which were aldehydes, followed by alkanes, alcohols and ketones. Among them were 19 volatile compounds with OAV greater than one. Substances containing α,β-unsaturated carbonyl structure (1-Octen-3-one, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, etc.) are the main contributors to kelp fishy odor. The number of VOCs in kelp samples fermented by L. plantarum, P. pentosaceus and S. cerevisiae were decreased to 22, 24 and 34, respectively. GC-IMS shows that the fingerprint of the S. cerevisiae fermented sample had the most obvious changes. The disappearance of 1-octen-3-one and a 91% decrease in unsaturated aldehydes indicate that S. cerevisiae was the most effective, while L. plantarum and P. pentosaceus only reached 43–55%. The decrease in kelp fishy notes was related to the decrease in α,β-unsaturated carbonyl groups. The experimental results show that odor reduction with fermentation is feasible.

The essential oil of A. zerumbet, obtained from the leaves through steam distillation, has a distinct aroma and shows antioxidant activity. In this study, we evaluated the yields, antioxidant activity, and volatile compound composition of essential oils extracted from the leaves of A. zerumbet to better understand how these characteristics may vary among individual plants, and how they may differ with location of growth and season in which leaves are harvested. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that chemical composition in each individual plant was not affected by harvest season or growth area. Furthermore, GC/MS and antioxidant activity assays revealed that although the antioxidant activity and yield of these essential oils differed significantly between individual plants and collecting seasons, there was a strong inverse correlation between the yields of essential oils and their antioxidant activity. The yield, the major volatile compound compositions, the enantiomeric ratio of the few monoterpenes, and the antioxidant activities of A. zerumbet essential oil varied significantly among individual plants, and probably reflected the genetic variability within the species. This suggests the plausibility of selecting lineages of A. zerumbet to optimize future production of valuable essential oils.

Lipophilic constituents are important for the color and aroma of apricots, but also for their health benefits. In the present study, carotenoids, fatty acids, and volatiles were analyzed in 11 apricot cultivars, from which nine were obtained in Romania. High performance liquid chromatography coupled to a diode array detector with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS methodology applied on unsaponified carotenoid extracts allowed the identification and quantification of 19 compounds. The predominant carotenoids in all cultivars were all-trans-β-carotene and its cis isomers. Lutein was present exclusively in non-esterified form, while β-cryptoxanthin was predominantly esterified, mainly with oleic, palmitic, lauric, and stearic acid. Moreover, β-cryptoxanthin linoleate, linolenate, and stearate were detected for the first time in Harogem cultivar. Variation in carotenoid content and composition was observed, with the highest carotenoid content being recorded in Tudor, Harogem, and Mamaia cultivars. The predominant fatty acids determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were linoleic (up to 47%), palmitic (up to 32.7%), and linolenic (up to 17.16%), with small variations among cultivars. In-tube extraction technique (ITEX)/GC-MS was applied for profiling the volatiles in apricot fruits and 120 compounds were identified, with terpenoids and esters as the most abundant classes. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the carotenoids and the fatty acids profile can be used for variety authentication and discrimination in apricots.

This study was designed to investigate the compounds in the different types of commercial aroma used to attract swiftlets in the birdhouse. Analysis of the volatile compounds is done on two types of commercial aroma, which is categorized as floor aroma (F1, F2, F3) and top aroma (T1, T2, T3) using SPME-GC-MS. As a result, F1, F2 and F3 shows the presence of major constituents like 2-heptanone (13.53%, 3.22% and 0.37% respectively) and 2-nonanone (0.83%, 2.02%, and 0.82% respectively) using DB-1ms while 2-heptanone (5.87%, 0.78% and 0.45% respectively) and methoxy-phenyl-oxime (11.50%, 11.84% and 0.20% respectively) using DB-wax. Major constituents detected using DB-1ms for T1, T2 and T3 are 1-(2-methoxy-1-methylethoxy)-2-propanol (36.49%, 16.23% and 3.06% respectively). Meanwhile, no similar compounds detected by DB-wax for sample T1, T2 and T3. The overall findings concluded that most of the formulation used in the commercial aroma contained strong odor-producing chemicals to attract swiftlets. More studies should be done on investigating the effects of the commercial aroma towards swiftlet also on aroma made from natural substances instead of chemically produced commercial aroma.

Water supplemented with 10% or 20% (v/v) of Zarrouk medium was used to cultivate Spirulina platensis in closed and open bioreactors under controlled conditions (30 °C, 32.5 μmol m−2 s−1, 12 h light/dark photoperiod) and in a greenhouse (9.4 to 46 °C, up to 2800 μmol m−2 s−1, variable day length photoperiod) using different initial biomass concentrations (X0) in the extreme south of Brazil (32.05° S, 52.11° W). Under controlled conditions the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) was 0.102 d−1, the biomass doubling time (td) was 6.8 d, the maximum dry biomass concentration (Xmax) was 1.94 g LD1 and the maximum productivity (Pmax) was 0.059 g L−1 d−1, while the corresponding values in the greenhouse experiments were μmax = 0.322 d−1, td = 2.2 d, Xmax = 1.73 g L−1 and Pmax = 0.112 g L−1 d−1. Under controlled conditions the highest values for these parameters occurred when X0 = 0.15 g L−1, while in the greenhouse X0 = 0.4 g L−1 produced the highest values. These results show that the cultivation of S. platensis in greenhouses in the extreme south of Brazil is technically viable and that the S. platensis inoculum and the concentration of Zarrouk medium can be combined in such a way as to obtain growth and productivity parameters comparable, or superior, to those occurring in bioreactors under controlled conditions of temperature, illuminance and photoperiod.

The ability to obtain different wines with a singular organoleptic profile is one of the main factors for the wine industry’s growth, in order to appeal to a broad cross section of consumers. Due to this, white wines made from the novel grape genotypes Albillo Dorado and Montonera del Casar (Vitis vinifera L.) were studied and compared to the well-known Airén at two consecutive years. Wines were evaluated by physicochemical, spectrophotometric, high-performance liquid chromatography–diode array detection–mass spectrometry, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and sensory analyses. The chromatic characteristics of the new wines were defined by more color purity than Airén, with greenish highlights. In general, the phenolic profile of the Albillo Dorado wines showed a higher flavonol and hydroxycinnamic acid derivative content. Several volatile compounds were determined, and their odor activity values were calculated to determine their impact on wine aroma. A fruity series dominated the wine aromatic composition, but spicier and greener notes characterized the aroma profile of Airén wines. Albillo Dorado and Montonera del Casar were sensory evaluated as wines with a less fresh taste compared to Airén. Unique chemical and sensory profiles were determined for wines made from these novel grape genotypes, providing alternative monovarietal wines to encourage the wine market growth and extend the offer to consumers.
