The aroma active compounds of three Tuber fruiting bodies (i.e., Tuber himalayense, Tuber indicum, and Tuber sinense) were firstly systematically evaluated by instrumental gas chromatography-olfactometry combining with quantitative analysis, aroma reconstitution, and omission tests. Twelve aroma active compounds were characterized by aroma extract dilution analysis, and 3-(methylthio) propanal, 3-methylbutanal, and 1-octen-3-ol with the highest flavor dilution (FD) factor (i.e., 1,024-2,048) were suggested as key contributors to the aroma. Odor activity value (OAV) was employed to determine the relative contribution of each compound to the aroma, and the compound with the highest FD factor also had the highest OAV (i.e., 10,234-242,951). Then, the synthetic blends of odorants (aroma reconstitution) were prepared with OAV larger than 15, and their aromas were very similar to the originals. Omission tests were carried out to verify the significance of 3-(methylthio) propanal, 1-octen-3-ol, and 3-methylbutanal as key compounds in the aroma of tested Tuber fruiting bodies.

Correlation of lipid hydrolysis, oxidation, and molecular transformation with volatile compound revolution in pork during postmortem wet-aging process.

Food Chem

Key Laboratory of Agricultural Product Processing and Quality Control (Co-construction by Ministry and Province), Beijing University of Agriculture, Beijing 102206, PR China.

Lipid hydrolysis and oxidation properties, lipid metabolites, and volatile flavors were investigated to elucidate the wet-aging process (1 h to 10 d) on lipid molecule transformation and volatile flavor evolution in pork. Phospholipase A (PLA) activity increased at 12 h, with lipoxygenase (LOX) increasing from 1 h to 7 d (P < 0.05).

is a typical aroma-producing yeast in food brewing, but it has low heat resistance and poor proliferation ability at high temperature. Trehalose is generally considered to be a protective agent that helps stable yeast cells resist heat shock stress, but its functional mechanism for yeast cells in the adaptation period under heat stress is unclear. In this study, the physiological metabolism changes, specific gene transcription expression characteristics, and transcriptome differences of under different carbon sources under high-temperature stress (40 °C) were compared to explore the mechanism of trehalose inducing to recover and proliferate under high-temperature stress during the adaptation period.

While olfactory behaviors are influenced by neuromodulatory signals, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. The olfactory tubercle (OT), a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, consists of anteromedial (am) and lateral (l) domains regulating odor-guided attractive and aversive behaviors, respectively, in which the amOT highly expresses various receptors for feeding-regulated neuromodulators. Here we show functions of appetite-stimulating orexin-1 receptor (OxR1) signaling in the amOT.

The food and pharmaceutical sectors frequently utilize vanillin (VAN), a food ingredient with a pleasing flavor and aroma. However, excessive consumption of VAN causes several health problems, including liver and kidney damage, headaches, skin conditions, nausea, and vomiting. To prevent health problems, it is crucial to identify and control the amount of VAN in food and drugs.

In this study, the aroma profiles of high- and low-alcohol Jiangxiangxing Baijiu were compared through sensory analysis, revealing significant differences in acidic, floral, fruity, smoky and oxidized oil notes. To further clarify the underlying causes of aroma differences, we examined the concentrations of 106 important compounds, revealing that the concentrations differences between the two were generally 1 to 2 times. Furthermore, the determination results of the olfactory thresholds (OTs) indicated that the OT of 87 aroma compounds was less than the OT, with 68 compounds exhibiting OT changes ranging from 2 to 17 times.
