Aroma Characteristics

Citrus blend black teas are popular worldwide, due to its unique flavor and remarkable health benefits. However, the aroma characteristics, aroma profiles and key odorants of it remain to be distinguished and cognized. In this study, the aroma profiles of 12 representative samples with three different cultivars including citrus (Citrus reticulata), bergamot (Citrus bergamia), and lemon (Citrus limon) were determined by a novel approach combined head space-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS). A total of 348 volatile compounds, among which comprised esters (60), alkenes (55), aldehydes (45), ketones (45), alcohols (37), aromatic hydrocarbons (20), and some others were ultimately identified. The further partial least squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) certified obvious differences existed among the three groups with a screening result of 30 significant differential key volatile compounds. A total of 61 aroma-active compounds that mostly presented green, fresh, fruity, and sweet odors were determined in three groups with gas chromatography-olfactometry/mass spectrometry (GC-O/MS) assisted analysis. Heptanal, limonene, linalool, and trans-β-ionone were considered the fundamental odorants associated with the flavors of these teas. Comprehensive analysis showed that limonene, ethyl octanoate, copaene, ethyl butyrate (citrus), benzyl acetate, nerol (bergamot) and furfural (lemon) were determined as the characterized odorants for each type.

Rice Samples

The production of rice-based beverages fermented by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can increase the consumption of rice in the form of a dairy replacement. This study investigated volatile and nonvolatile components in rice fermented by 12 different LABs. Volatile compounds of fermented rice samples were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with solid-phase microextraction (SPME), while nonvolatile compounds were determined using gas chromatography-time-of-flight/mass spectrometry (GC-TOF/MS) after derivatization. The 47 identified volatile compounds included acids, aldehydes, esters, furan derivatives, ketones, alcohols, benzene and benzene derivatives, hydrocarbons, and terpenes, while the 37 identified nonvolatile components included amino acids, organic acids, and carbohydrates. The profiles of volatile and nonvolatile components generally differed significantly between obligatorily homofermentative/facultatively heterofermentative LAB and obligatorily heterofermentative LAB. The rice sample fermented by Lactobacillus sakei (RTCL16) was clearly differentiated from the other samples on principal component analysis (PCA) plots. The results of PCA revealed that the rice samples fermented by LABs could be distinguished according to microbial strains.

Smoking is mainly used to impart desirable flavour, colour and texture to the products. Various food smoking methods can be divided into traditional and industrial methods. The influences of three different smoking methods, including traditional smouldering smoke (TSS), industrial smouldering smoke (ISS) and industrial liquid smoke (ILS), on quality characteristics, sensory attributes and flavour profiles of Harbin red sausages were studied. The smoking methods had significant effects on the moisture content (55.74–61.72 g/100 g), L*-value (53.85–57.61), a*-value (11.97–13.15), b*-value (12.19–12.92), hardness (24.25–29.17 N) and chewiness (13.42–17.32). A total of 86 volatile compounds were identified by headspace solid phase microextraction combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC × GC-qMS). Among them, phenolic compounds were the most abundant compounds in the all sausages. Compared with sausages smoked with smouldering smoke, the ILS sausages showed the highest content of volatile compounds, especially phenols, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones. Principal component analysis showed that the sausages smoked with different methods had a good separation based on the quality characteristics and GC × GC-qMS data. These results will facilitate optimising the smoking methods in the industrial production of smoked meat products.
