Abstract

The role of lipids in aroma formation of circulating non-fried roasted (CNR) chicken with different roasting times was studied using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS)-based lipidomics and heat transfer analysis. Thirteen odorants were confirmed as important aroma compounds of CNR chicken, including dimethyl trisulfide, 3,5-dimethyl-2-ethylpyrazine, nonanal, and 1-octen-3-ol. A comprehensive lipidomics analysis identified 1254 lipids in roasted chickens, classified into 23 distinct lipid categories that included 281 phosphatidylcholines (PC), 223 phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), and 202 triglycerides (TG). Using OPLS-DA analysis, the lipid PG (18:1_18:1) showed promise as a potential biomarker for distinguishing between chickens subjected to CNR treatments with varying roasting times. The lipids PC, PE, and their derivatives are likely to play a crucial role in the formation of aroma compounds. In addition, TGs that contributed to the retention of key odorants in roasted chicken included TG (16:0_16:0_18:1), TG (16:0_16:0_18:0), and TG (16:0_18:1_18:1). Findings further showed that lower water activity and specific heat capacity promoted the formation and retention of aroma compounds during the CNR process. This study contributed to a better understanding of the formation of aroma compounds through lipid oxidation in roasted chicken.
