Hexanal and ()-2-hexenal in soymilk mainly form during the soaking and grinding of soybeans. In this study, freshly dehulled soybeans were soaked or ground in the presence or absence of different enzyme inhibitors. The results showed that (1) 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl--3-phosphatidylcholine, 1-stearoyl-2-linoleoyl--3-phosphatidylcholine, 1-palmitoyl-2-linolenoyl--3-phosphatidylcholine, and 1-stearoyl-2-linolenoyl--3-phosphatidylcholine were preferentially acted upon by lipoxygenases (LOXs) and made predominant contributions to hexanal/()-2-hexenal formation. Phospholipase A (PLA) is one of the key enzymes for hexanal/()-2-hexenal formation. (2) The ratio of net increase in hexanal/()-2-hexenal and net decrease in linoleic acid/linolenic acid was close to 100% during soaking, but it was only 60% during grinding. Only 13-hydroperoxy octadecad(tr)ienoic acid (13-HPOD/T) was formed for the membrane LOX, but both 13- and 9-hydroperoxy octadecad(tr)ienoic acid (9-HPOD/T) were produced for the cytoplasm LOX. Thus, only the membrane LOX was involved during soaking, while both membrane- and cytoplasm-bound LOXs worked during grinding. (3) Hydroperoxides and hexanal/()-2-hexenal during soybean grinding were studied. PC hydroperoxides formed almost instantly and reached a maximum in 10 s, while fatty acid hydroperoxides and hexanal/()-2-hexenal formed relatively slowly and reached a maximum in 50 s. The experimental data were fitted to the integrated form of the Michaelis-Menten equation, and , , and for the LOX, PLA, and hydroperoxide lyase were obtained, respectively.

Virgin olive oil (VOO) quality is defined by both chemical and sensory parameters. While the chemical parameters are objective and measured using instrument-based methods, sensory quality evaluation is based upon human panels, which can be subjective, have less repeatability, suffer from fatigue, and require long and costly training. Tasting biases could be minimized by a trained panel, but using humans as a testing instrument is inevitably prone to various psychological biases, stimulus-related factors, and carry-over effects.

Aroma dramatically impacts the overall flavor profiles and consumer acceptance; therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the aroma characteristics of apples. In this study, the aroma differences among four popular apple varieties ("Ruixue", "Liangzhi", "Crystal Fuji," and "Guifei") were compared using two extraction methods (headspace-solid phase microextraction, and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) and two-dimensional gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC × GC-qMS). A total of 82 odorants were identified via GC-MS-O, and 143 volatiles were identified by GC× GC-qMS.

Volatile profile of fresh, whole 'Rama Forte' persimmons treated with CO or ethanol (EtOH) vapor for astringency removal, and the relationship of the main volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with the loss of astringency were investigated. Persimmons were harvested at the commercial maturity stage and treated with 70 % CO, 18 h, or 1.70 mL kg EtOH, 6 h.
