Effect of Fat to Lean Meat Ratios on the Formation of Volatile Compounds in Mutton Shashliks.

This study aimed to investigate the release of volatile compounds in mutton shashliks (named as FL, x-fat cubes: 0-4; y-lean cubes: 4-0) with different fat-lean ratios before and during consumption, respectively. In total, 67 volatile compounds were identified in shashliks using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Aldehyde, alcohol, and ketone were the major volatile substances, accounting for more than 75% of the total volatile compounds.
