Abstract
BackgroundTo evaluate the impact of cold fermentation time on bagel rolls, the key aroma-active compounds in the volatile fractions obtained from three different bagel rolls through solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) were sequentially characterized by an aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), quantified by stable isotope dilution and analyzed by odor activity values (OAVs) respectively.ResultsFindings revealed 40 aroma-active compounds with flavor dilution (FD) factor ranges of 2–1024. Of these, 22 compounds (FD ≥ 16) were quantified by stable isotope dilution assays (SIDA). Subsequent analysis of the 22 compounds by odor activity values (OAVs) revealed 14 compounds with OAVs ≥ 1 and the highest concentrations were obtained for 2,3-butanedione, 2-phenylethanol, 3-methylbutanal and acetoin respectively. Two recombination models of the bagels (i.e. 24 h and 48 h bagels) showed similarity to the corresponding bagels. Omission tests confirmed that 2,3-butanedione (buttery), acetoin (buttery), 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (roasty), 5-methyl-2-furanmethanol (bread-like), (Z)-4-heptenal (biscuit-like) and 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone, were the key aroma compounds. Additionally, acetic acid, butanoic acid, 2-phenylethanol (honey-like), 3-methylbutanoic acid, 2/3-methylbutanal, vanillin, 3-methylbutanol, methional were also important odorants of the bagel.ConclusionWhilst the long, cold fermented bagels exhibited roasty, malty, buttery, baked potato-like, smoky and biscuit-like notes, the control bagels produced similar but less intense odor notes.
Highlights
Bagels are one of the most widely consumed bread rolls in the United States
To reveal the differences between the flavors of the bagels, the volatile fractions of their crumbs were subjected to aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA)
40 aroma compounds were detected in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range of 2 to 256 respectively (Table 2)
Summary
Bagels are one of the most widely consumed bread rolls in the United States. Recent statistics have shown that 204 million Americans consumed bagels in 2019 [1]. The flavor of bread is engendered by the interaction of a large number of compounds, which exhibit different olfactive characteristics, tactile oral and Lasekan et al BMC Chemistry (2021) 15:16 trigeminal sensations. Some of these compounds include; alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ketones, acids, hydrocarbons, pyrazines, pyrrolines, furans etc. To evaluate the impact of cold fermentation time on bagel rolls, the key aroma-active compounds in the volatile fractions obtained from three different bagel rolls through solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) were sequentially characterized by an aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), quantified by stable isotope dilution and analyzed by odor activity values (OAVs) respectively
