This study is focussed on a biocatalysing chemical synthesis in order to produce a green apple flavour (ethyl valerate) using an immobilised lipase from . A strategy to improve the lipase stability during the esterification is used. In order to increase the ethyl valerate efficiency, an alternative method using the buffer pH to dissolve the lipase into alginate is proposed. Parameters of the immobilised lipase such as pH, temperature, activation energy and stirring speed are evaluated. The optimal condition using the substrate concentration and the lipase loading is provided. After 5 recyclability cycles, the immobilised lipase reveals a decreasing ∼25% in the ethyl valerate yield. An economical ester synthetising associated with the esterification efficiency is evidenced. This induces that a potential industrial application can be considered. This due to the demand for ethyl valerate in the flavour industry is required.

The deterioration of the quality of raw liquor caused by the low content of ethyl hexanoate in Nongxiangxing baijiu has become a pervasive problem in the baijiu industry. Therefore, this study attempted to increase the synthesis of ethyl hexanoate by microorganisms with high esterase activity to increase Zaopei fermentation. The results showed that biofortification was a feasible and important way to improve the quality of the raw liquor and increase the ethyl hexanoate content.

The flavor profiles of fresh and aged fermented peppers obtained from four varieties were thoroughly compared in this study. A total of 385 volatile compounds in fermented pepper samples were detected by flavoromics (two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry). As fermentation progressed, both the number and the total concentration of volatile compounds changed, with esters, alcohols, acids, terpenoids, sulfur compounds, and funans increasing, whereas hydrocarbons and benzenes decreased.

Many customers prefer goji berry pulp, well-known for its high nutritional content, over fresh goji berries. However, there is limited research on its sensory lexicon and distinctive flavor compounds. This study focused on developing a sensory lexicon for goji berry pulp and characterizing its aroma by sensory and instrumental analysis.

Context: Due to the expected decrease in the availability of conventional oils, numerous studies are currently underway to find complementary sources of energy. Among the explored avenue is that of biofuels. Ethyl valerate (ETV) and tripropionin (TPP) are two biofuels whose thermal decomposition has not received the attention it deserves.
