Abstract
This study was conducted to assess the volatile compound generated in fermented chili using the static headspace gas chromatography (GC-MS). Three types of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculant were used; Lactobacillus plantarum Alo1, Lactobaciluss pentosus Alo2 and Lactobacillus platarum Au2 for the lactic acid fermented chili mash. Raw chili and natural fermented chili mash were served as negative and positive control. The volatile compound was grouped into 7 main compounds consist of ester, alcohol, alkane, acid, hydrocarbon, ether and nitrogen-containing group. Study showed that LAB inoculated chili mash has lower amount of ethanol as compared to naturally fermented chili mash. Besides, volatile compound generated among each inoculant was different. A compound known as n-Hexadecanoic acid was the primary compound detected in all LAB-inoculated chili mash. Result proved that LAB can be used as the potential starter culture in modifying the aroma of fermented chili mash.
