Headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectroscopy (HS-GC-IMS) was used to detect the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of yak milk powders (YMPs) under ultra-high-pressure sterilization (UHPS) and thermization (TH) methods. The analyses led to the identification of several characteristic of compounds, therefore, exploitation and comparison of the different flavors. A total of 46 peaks were detected, and 17 compounds were identified, including 7 aldehydes, 5 ketones, 3 acids, 1 terpene, and 1 ester. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) and fingerprint similarity analysis based on Euclidean distance compared the YMPs and found that the YMPs had certain differences, which can distinguish the YMPs with different sterilization methods. In conclusion, different sterilization methods possibly affect the flavor of YMPs, and UHPS is bettedslfr than TH. Also, aldehydes were mainly be detected in UHPS groups, whereas the ketones and acids mostly appeared in TH groups. Most importantly, UHPS can retain the original flavor of yak milk to a greater extent.

Abstract To establish a method for fast discrimination of avocado oil for different extracted methods, the headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectroscopy (HS-GC-IMS) combined with principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyze non-target volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The results showed that 40 VOCs were identified, and the VOCs of the extraction method had a significant difference and had been well distinguished in PCA. The species and content of avocado oil obtained by squeeze method were more than the aqueous methods and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction methods (SC CO2). In addition, the different avocado oil had their characteristic compounds: the 2-acetylthiazole and ethyl propionate were the unique compounds in the avocado oil obtained by SC CO2. A rapid method for the determination of avocado oil obtained by different extraction methods based on HS-GC-IMS had been established, and the method was fast and simple and had a good application prospect in the prediction of avocado oil processing methods.

We aimed to investigate the effects of age and gender on the profile of exhaled volatile organic compounds. We evaluated 68 healthy adult never-smokers, comparing them by age and by gender. Exhaled breath samples were analyzed by an electronic nose (e-nose), resulting in "breathprints". Principal component analysis and canonical discriminant analysis showed that older subjects (≥ 50 years of age) could not be distinguished from younger subjects on the basis of their breathprints, as well as that the breathprints of males could not distinguished from those of females (cross-validated accuracy, 60.3% and 57.4%, respectively).Therefore, age and gender do not seem to affect the overall profile of exhaled volatile organic compounds measured by an e-nose.
