Abstract
To examine flavor variations in Xuanwei ham due to different cooking methods, we selected one-year cured Xuanwei ham and applied four techniques: dry frying (DF), baking (BA), steaming (ST), and boiling (BO). Organoleptic evaluation revealed ST received the highest overall sensory score. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed that the total nucleotide content was significantly different (P < 0.05), lactic acid predominated the measured organic acids. Solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SPME-GC–MS) and chromatography-electronic nose (GC-E-Nose) data indicated that ST resulting in significantly higher total volatile compounds than the other methods (P < 0.05). SPME-GC–MS detected 55 volatile compounds, and 12 characteristic flavor substances were identified using orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) (VIP > 1). This study aimed to support comprehensive research on the flavor characteristics of cooked Xuanwei ham and guide the selection of appropriate processing methods.
