AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explored how different hop varieties affect the aroma characteristics of beer using advanced analysis techniques, focusing on "food metabolomics".
  • The researchers found 67 key aroma compounds strongly linked to specific sensory descriptors, showing how these compounds influence the overall hop aroma profile in beer.
  • The study suggests a method combining comprehensive analysis with sensory evaluation can effectively identify the key compounds responsible for variations in hop aroma.

Article Abstract

Hop-derived aroma characteristics in beer are very important for the quality of beer. This study compared the differences of hop aroma characteristics and the compounds contained in beer by changing the variety of hops applying the idea of "food metabolomics" on the GC×GC/TOF-MS analysis data, to clarify which aroma compounds contribute to the differences of hop aroma profiles indicated by sensory descriptors. As a result, by focusing only on hop-derived compounds, 67 compounds were strongly correlated with one or more of the sensory descriptors. Furthermore, the odor descriptions of each key compound corresponded well to each sensory descriptor. Thus, these compounds are likely to be the key compounds explaining the differences of hop aroma characteristics in beer. This study led to the suggestion that understanding the relationship between the comprehensive nontarget analysis by GC×GC-TOF/MS and organoleptic evaluation using PCA is effective in estimating the key compounds.

Oven roasting effects on the physicochemical and chemosensory characteristics of hemp seeds ( L.).

J Food Sci Technol

February 2025

Department of GreenBio Science/Food Science and Technology, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju, 52725 Republic of Korea.

Physicochemical properties and flavor characteristics of hemp seeds (HS) were analyzed by roasting temperature (140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C) and time (initial, 3, 6, 9, 12 min). HS with roasting showed a lightness () with increasing roasting time. Total flavonoid content (TFC) decreased significantly with roasting compared to initial, and total phenolic content (TPC) tended to decrease with increasing roasting time at low temperatures (140 °C), but relatively high temperatures (160 °C and 180 °C), TPC increased significantly with increasing roasting time.

The aroma and nutrition of Japanese apricot fruit change continuously as the fruit ripens. The differences in fruit aroma and nutrition can affect the resulting wine, which is produced by steeping the Japanese apricot fruit. In this study, we used HS-SPME-GC-MS to examine the aromatic compositions of Japanese apricot fruit and wine produced from its macerated fruit at different levels of ripeness.

Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Edaphology and Microbiology, Agrifood Campus of International Excellence CeiA3, University of Córdoba, 14014 Córdoba, Spain.

This research aims to identify aroma compounds, their combinations, and statistical relationships to classify and characterize wines produced in small, defined areas known as "terroirs", which share edaphoclimatic characteristics grape varieties, viticultural practices, harvest timing, and winemaking processes. The goal is to deepen the understanding of the relationship between the terroir and wine typicity. This study analyzed the contents based on enological parameters, the major and minor volatile compounds of the young wines produced in three wineries across two vintages, using the Pedro Ximenez white grape variety cultivated in different terroirs within the same quality zone.

The traditional method is considered the highest-quality sparkling wine making technique. Its main characteristic is that the entire sparkling transformation takes place in the bottle, producing complex, refined wines with fine, persistent bubbles. Currently, the second fermentation in the bottle is initiated by a few commercially available strains of .

1-Methylcyclopropene Delays Browning and Maintains Aroma in Fresh-Cut Nectarines.

Foods

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Food Nutrition and Safety, College of Food Science and Engineering, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, Tianjin 300457, China.

The color and aroma of nectarines experience adverse effects from cutting, resulting in the fast senescence of fruit tissue. Therefore, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was used to treat postharvest nectarines before cutting, and its effect on the surface browning and aroma alteration were investigated. The results indicated that 1-MCP restrained the soluble quinone (SQC) accumulation in fresh-cut nectarines by regulating the peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities and the metabolism of phenolic compounds.
