To establish whether fishy off-flavour observed in cows' milk in Sweden is due to abnormal concentrations of trimethylamine (TMA) in milk, 15 milk samples from 13 cows of the Swedish Red and White breed (SRB) were analysed for this compound using dynamic headspace (DHS) gas chromatography (GC). A mass selective detector (MSD) was used for the qualitative and a flame ionization detector (FID) for the quantitative analyses. Further confirmation was obtained using a solid phase microextraction (SPME) followed by GC-olfactometry (GC-O) and GC-NPD (nitrogen and phosphorus detector). Samples were also evaluated by a two-person organoleptic panel for the presence of fishy off-flavour. Results showed that the seven milk samples with a fish-like taint contained > 1 mg TMA/kg milk, whereas, with a single exception, the seven samples that were judged to be normal did not contain this compound. Furthermore, there were indications of a dose-dependent relationship between TMA concentration and fishy off-flavour score.

The effects of single and twofold continuous pressure change technology (PCT) applications on the volatiles and sensory characteristics of pineapple juice were studied. Fresh and thermally pasteurised juices were additionally characterised. 128 volatiles were tentatively assigned in the four juices.

In the present study, the effects of feeding 450 g/day of rumen-protected fish oil (FO) compared to sunflower oil (SO) to Angus heifers (60 g/kg total intake) were quantified. Animal performance was not affected whereas the physico-chemical meat quality, assessed in three muscles, was slightly affected by diet. The oxidative shelf life of the perirenal fat declined with FO compared to SO.

Phytosterol structured algae oil nanoemulsions and powders: improving antioxidant and flavor properties.

Algae oil, enriched with omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 LC-PUFA), is known for its health benefits. However, protection against lipid oxidation as well as masking of unpleasant fishy malodors in algae oil enriched foods is a big challenge to achieve. In this study, we firstly achieved a one-pot ultrasound emulsification strategy (alternative heating-homogenization) to prepare phytosterol structured thermosensitive algae oil-in-water nanoemulsion stabilized by quillaja saponin.

Monitoring of autoxidation in LCPUFA-enriched lipid microparticles by electronic nose and SPME-GCMS.

Talanta

Electronic nose and SPME-GCMS were used to monitor the autoxidation in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA)-enriched lipid microparticles produced by spray congealing with ultrasonic nebulization, during storage at 20 degrees C up to 6 weeks with sufficient air supply and limited air supply. Conjugated dienes and peroxide value as well as secondary lipid oxidation products were analysed to follow the course of autoxidation. Principal Component Analysis evidenced that only MOS sensors but not MOSFET sensors contributed to the discrimination of the samples and facilitated the ability of the electronic nose to distinguish the LCPUFA-enriched lipid microparticles into two groups according to the different oxidative status.
