Variations in the key aroma and phenolic compounds of champignon (Agaricus bisporus) and oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) mushrooms after two cooking treatments as elucidated by GC–MS-O and LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS

Abstract

Volatiles, key odorants, phenolics and antioxidant properties of raw, boiled and oven-cooked champignon and oyster mushrooms were investigated. Total concentration of the volatiles was drastically reduced by both cooking treatments and the lowest contents were found in the oven-cooked sample. Alcohols and terpenes were the dominant aroma groups in the raw champignon and oyster sample, respectively. The highest FD factor (FD = 2048) was found for 1-octen-3-one and methional in raw and boiled champignon samples while the same FD factor was determined in 1-octen-3-ol and methional in raw and boiled oyster samples. It was determined that the phenolics were more abundant in champignon samples than the oyster samples and that the boiling process caused a decrease while oven-cooking resulted in an increase in the amount of phenolics in both varieties. It was revealed that cooking was a crucial factor for the key odorants and phenolics in champignon and oyster mushrooms.
