Pineapple (), one of the most flavorful and popular tropical fruits consumed worldwide, is known to contain many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at varying concentrations. Much attention has been paid to understand which VOC plays a significant role in the sensory aroma notes of the fruit. Though, nearly 480 VOCs have been identified to date using different analytical techniques, only 40 compounds are reported to contribute to the unique flavor of pineapple. A consolidated database of the reported VOCs and key aroma compounds of pineapple is currently not available. This review discusses the available published data regarding the analytical methodologies, volatile profile of different varieties of pineapple at different maturities, and their characteristic aroma compounds. The output of this review is a subset of key pineapple aroma volatiles that can be targeted in analytical method development for utilization in varietal improvement or other research of pineapple.

The effect of SH4, a typical aroma enhancer, on flavor formation of the dry fermented sausage was investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and metagenomic sequencing. The results showed that inoculation with SH4 promoted volatile compound formation from carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism and accelerated ester synthesis. The enzymes, genes, and microorganisms involved in the formation pathway of volatile compounds based on microbial metabolism were predicted and constructed into a metabolic pathway network.

One strategy for adding unique characteristics and flavors to improve coffee quality is the selection of starter microorganisms. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of LNFCA11 and B10 as starter cultures on the quality of four different wet-fermented coffee varieties. Microbiological, molecular, and chemical analyses were carried out to identify yeast, bacteria, volatile compounds, carbohydrates and bioactive compounds in coffee.

The aroma of yak milk powder is a crucial sensory indicator for evaluating its quality and flavor. Yak milk powders collected from different lactation periods exhibit distinct flavors, but no studies have thoroughly investigated the aroma characteristics and variation patterns of yak milk powders across these periods. This study identified and analyzed the volatile compounds in freeze-dried colostrum powder (YCSP), freeze-dried mature milk powder (YMMP), and freeze-dried ending milk powder (YEMP) using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and multivariate statistical analysis.
