The aroma-active compounds in Jinhua ham processed and stored for 9, 12, 15 and 18 months were extracted by dynamic headspace sampling (DHS) and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). In GC-O-MS, volatile compounds were identified based on their mass spectrum, linear retention index (LRI), odor properties, or reference compound comparisons. The results showed that a total number of 81 aroma-active compounds were identified by GC-O-MS. Among them, acids (such as acetic acid, butanoic acid and 3-methylbutanoic acid), saturated aldehydes (such as hexanal, heptanal, octanal and 3-methylbutanal), benzene derivatives (such as benzeneacetic acid), ester and lactone (such as γ-nonalactone and γ-decalactone) were identified as critical compounds in Jinhua ham aroma. The results also indicated that the type and content of the odorants increased significantly with the duration of the fermentation period.

The effect of ozone treatment on the sensory quality, aroma compounds, phytosterols, and phytosterol oxidation products (POP) in stored plant oils was studied. Cold-pressed flaxseed, cold-pressed rapeseed, and refined rapeseed oils were treated with ozone, air, and nitrogen, then subjected to accelerated storage at 60 °C for 6 days. The sensory evaluation revealed that ozone significantly influenced the sensory profile, with notable cucumber and green-grassy aromas.

Aroma is a crucial determinant of rice taste quality, with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) playing a key role in defining this characteristic. However, limited research has explored the dynamic changes in these aromatic substances during the ripening stages of rice grains. In this study, we analyzed VOCs in rice grains across four ripening stages post-flowering using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS).
