AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzes the volatile metabolites in floral aroma green tea (FAGT) to understand how its aroma changes during processing stages like withering and fixation.
  • A total of 184 volatile compounds were identified, with 7 key odorants standing out due to their high relative odor activity value (rOAV) during processing, particularly at the withering stage.
  • The identified odorants are categorized into four groups based on their formation pathways: fatty acid-derived, glycoside-derived, amino acid-derived, and carotenoid-derived volatiles, providing insights for improving green tea quality.

Article Abstract

To characterize the key odorants of floral aroma green tea (FAGT) and reveal its dynamic evolution during processing, the volatile metabolites in FAGT during the whole processing were analyzed by integrated volatolomics techniques, relative odor activity value (rOAV), aroma recombination, and multivariate statistical analysis. The volatile profiles undergone significant changes during processing, especially in the withering and fixation stages. A total of 184 volatile compounds were identified (∼53.26% by GC-MS). Among them, 7 volatiles with rOAV > 1 were identified as characteristic odorants of FAGT, and most of these compounds reached the highest in withering stage. According to the formation pathways, these key odorants could be divided into four categories: fatty acid-derived volatiles, glycoside-derived volatiles, amino acid-derived volatiles, and carotenoid-derived volatiles. Our study provides a comprehensive strategy to elucidate changes in volatile profiles during processing and lays a theoretical foundation for the targeted processing of high-quality green tea.

Sheep and goat meat products are becoming increasingly popular among consumers due to their unique flavor derived from intramuscular fat (IMF), which contributes to formation of the distinctive odor. However, there is currently a dearth of reviews on the impact of IMF on the flavor of sheep and goat meat. The present review aims to discuss the relationships between IMF and flavor through lipid composition and fatty acid (FA) distribution, provide an overview of characteristic flavor compounds affecting the flavor of sheep and goat meat, and shed light on the impacts of pre-mortem and post-mortem factors on meat flavor attributed to changes in FAs and flavor compounds.

Odor emissions, primarily from anthropogenic activities like waste treatment and industrial processes, pose significant challenges in urban areas, particularly near water resource recovery facilities. While these emissions are generally not toxic, they can adversely affect community wellbeing and investment, prompting stricter regulations in some regions. For example, New York State's hydrogen sulfide guidelines are more stringent than federal standards.

The rapid detection of petroleum hydrocarbons and organic pesticides is an important prerequisite for precise soil management. It is also a guarantee for soil quality, environmental safety, and human health. However, the current rapid detection methods are prone to sample matrix interference, complex development processes, short lifespan, and low detection accuracy.

The aroma and nutrition of Japanese apricot fruit change continuously as the fruit ripens. The differences in fruit aroma and nutrition can affect the resulting wine, which is produced by steeping the Japanese apricot fruit. In this study, we used HS-SPME-GC-MS to examine the aromatic compositions of Japanese apricot fruit and wine produced from its macerated fruit at different levels of ripeness.
