Published: December 2016

A comparative study of the aroma (volatile composition and olfactometric profiles) of Asturian and Basque still ciders in two maturation stages was conducted. Among the major volatile compounds, amyl alcohols, ethyl lactate and ethyl acetate were quantitatively relevant in all of the ciders studied. The minor fraction mainly consisted of fatty acids, volatile phenols and alcohols. Three PLS-discriminant models with low prediction errors were constructed. When the volatile composition was used, ciders could be differentiated by their maturation stage, 4-ethylcatechol being strongly associated to matured ciders. The olfactometric profiles allowed the classification of ciders according to both their origin and maturation stage. Odorants such as p-cresol and a sweet-character unknown component were correlated to origin of ciders, whereas 1-octen-3-one and one unknown spicy-vegetal odorant were highly correlated to the maturation stage.

Changing trends in the brewing market show that breweries want to attract consumers with new products. New flavours and aromas in beer can be achieved by using various additives. However, non- yeast strains make it possible to produce beer with an original sensory profile but according to a traditional recipe (without additives).

Headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS), sensory evaluation, and multivariate analysis were applied to monitor and compare the evolution of the aromatic profile of a lager beer in different types of containers (aluminum cans and glass bottles) during the natural ageing process. Samples were aged naturally for a year in the absence of light with a controlled temperature of around 14 °C +/- 0.5 °C.

The effect of seasonal and regional differences of rainbow trout on its aroma and aroma-active profile was investigated. Solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) procedure was employed for the aroma extraction while Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Olfactometry (GC-MS-O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) were utilized to assess the aroma-active substances. The olfactometric analysis indicated seasonal and regional differences in the aroma-active compounds contributing to the characteristic odours of the trout samples and the compounds were more intense in autumn and winter.

Manipulation of insect vector behavior by virus-induced plant volatiles is well known. But how the viral disease progression alters the plant volatiles and its effect on vector behavior remains less explored. Our studies tracked changes in volatile profile in progressive infection stages of cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) infected plants and their effect on behavior.
