Comparison of nutritional quality and volatile flavor compounds among bighead carp from three aquaculture systems.

To explore the differences in the nutritional quality of the muscles of bighead carp from different environments and aquaculture systems, we investigated three types of water bodies typically used for aquaculture: A common culture pond (NC), a natural lake (PY), and a cold water reservoir (XHK). Parameters affecting quality were evaluated, including muscle microstructure, fatty acid profiles, amino acid profiles, and volatile compounds. Fish from the XHK reservoir had the smallest muscle fiber diameter and the highest muscle fiber density (25.3 fibers/0.01 mm2), while muscle fiber density was lowest in fish from the NC pond (9.7 fibers/0.01 mm2). The bighead carp from the XHK reservoir had a much wider variety of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as higher levels of total polyunsaturated fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (AA) were all significantly more abundant in the XHK group, increases of 7.48%, 12.12%, and 17.49%, respectively (P < 0.05). The bighead carp from NC contained more “fishy” volatile flavor substances, as well as hydrocarbons with higher threshold values. Fish from XHK and NC had a greater umami intensity due to the presence of abundant volatiles with special aromas, including 1-Octene-3ol, DL-Menthol, and 2-ethyl-.

Effect of rainfall and altitude on the 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline and volatile compounds profile of black glutinous rice (Thai upland rice).

The aroma intensity of rice is mixed of more than 100 volatile compounds. Fragrant rice is famous in Thailand due to specific aroma. One important volatile compound that contributes to aromatic intensity and represents a characteristic compound for fragrant rice is 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). The production of volatile compounds and 2AP in rice is affected by various environmental factors, such as cultivation area, water content and temperature. Our research employed 29 samples of fragrant colored rice (Luempua black glutinous rice cultivar) from Phetchabun province, Thailand from three harvested rice seasons (2015-2017). The cultivation areas of rice samples exhibited differences in rainfall (976.6-1260.5 mm y r-1 ) and altitude (26.26-1033.41 m). All volatile compounds and 2AP were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In 29 rice samples, 2AP levels decreased with increasing of rainfall. The increase in altitude seems to increase 2AP levels, but some high-altitude cultivation areas resulted in low 2AP content. A variety of volatile compounds was observed in 29 rice samples from different cultivation areas. The results showed that differences in altitude and rainfall affected the production of volatile compounds in fragrant colored rice. Moreover, our results indicated that different environmental conditions in cultivation areas potentially affect volatile compound production during rice growth. The increase in 2AP levels under low rainfall conditions and the assortment of volatile compound varieties produced in colored rice grown in different cultivation areas may be useful information for rice cultivation management striving to produce rice with high aromatic intensities. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Effect of cooking process on the characteristics of pindang loin produced from mackerel tuna fish (Euthynnus affinis)

This research aims to determine the chemical and physical characteristics of pindang loin from mackerel tuna fish (Euthynnus affinis) produced from the different cooking processes. The cooking process of pindang loin was by boiling and steaming respectively at 100°C for 15 and 30 minutes. As much as 10, 20, and 30% of salt were added during the boiling water. In the steaming process, mackerel tuna loin was immersed in salt solution of 10, 20, and 30% for 30 minutes at the ratio of 1: 4 (w / v) then drained at room temperature for ± 15 minutes. Observation parameters are proximate composition, salinity, hardness texture, and sensory analysis with descriptive tests. Boiling and steaming process for 15 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively, affected water content, salt content, sensory characteristics, and hardness texture. Properties of Pindang loin cooking process with the larger salt concentration in the longer time (30 minutes) tend to produce harder texture than 15 minutes. Pindang loin produced from boiling 15 minutes with a salt concentration of 10% produces a protein content of 28.89% with a moisture content of 69.24% can produce a hardness texture of 5532.27 g. Also, it can produce sensory characteristics with an intact appearance, some parts are slightly cracked, the texture is dense and not sticky, light brown colour, the specific aroma of pindang and savoury taste.

Effect of drying temperature in hop dryer on hop quality

One of the qualitative characteristics of both green and dried hops is the content of hop essential oils which are contained in a quantity of 0.5 to 3.5%, depending on the hop variety. These essential oils are heat labile substances because the temperature has an influence on their content. Hop cones, dried either in belt or chamber dryers, are exposed to a drying medium temperature of 55 °C to 60 °C for the entire duration of drying, i.e. for 6–8 hours. Under current drying conditions there is a loss of approx. 15 to 25% of the total content of essential oils present in hops before drying. In case of special aroma hop varieties, such losses lead to a decline in the product quality. Comparative measurements have been carried out with a laboratory equipment to find out whether more aromatic essential oils are retained in hop cones at a drying temperature of 40 °C compared to a drying temperature of 60 °C. The measurement carried out with the most common variety of Saaz hop concluded that the essential oil losses were lower by 33.4% at a drying temperature of 40 °C, and with other seven mostly hybrid varieties the losses were lower on average by 13.9% than at a drying temperature of 60 °C. The measurements proved that each of the varieties retained, to a significant extent, its content of essential oils in the dried hop cones at a drying temperature of 40 °C.

Analysis of the Biochemical and Volatile Components of Qianlincha and Qiandingcha Prepared from Eurya alata Kobuski and Camellia cuspidate

Due to the accumulation of experiences on treating disease, tea began to develop to pluralism, and not limited to Camellia sinensis. The leaf buds of Eurya alata Kobuski and Camellia cuspidate were used to make Qianlincha (QLC) and Qiandingcha (QDC), which have special taste, aromas, and health benefits. In our study, the biochemical and volatile components of QLC and QDC were systematically analyzed and compared with a normal green tea (GT, C. sinensis). The biochemical and volatile components in the three tea samples were remarkably different. Compared with those in GT, QLC and QDC exhibited higher content of flavonoids and remarkably lower content of amino acids, catechins, and caffeine. High levels of flavonoids may play a crucial role in taste, liquor color, and health function of QLC and QDC. Low levels of amino acids, catechins, and caffeine may impart mouth-drying or velvety-like astringent taste; umami and refreshing taste of QLC and QDC was not as good as that of GT. High levels of linalool, geraniol, nonanal, dimethyl sulfide, and cis-jasmone may impart a clean and strongly floral or fruity aroma characteristic of QLC. High levels of linalool, 3,7-dimethyl-6-octen-3-ol, (-)-terpinen-4-ol, and terpenes may impart a strongly floral aroma characteristic of QDC.

Volatile profiles from over-ripe purée of Thai mango varieties and their physiochemical properties during heat processing.

This research investigated volatile profiles of over-ripe Thai mango purée during thermal processing by solid-phase extraction, volatile quantification by XAD-2-solvent extraction, as well as descriptive sensory analysis. Overripe fruits of three varieties were analyzed for the ripening stage using specific gravity as well as firmness and the physiochemical properties were also reported. We found that aromatic profiles could be used as true representative to describe Thai mango identities of each varieties. A simple and straightforward heat treatment had differing effects on aroma characteristics and those effects were dependent with mango varieties. Indeed, the amount of terpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenoids alternated after heat treatment. All descriptive attributes of heated ‘sam-pee’ purée were intensified while, heat treatment significantly improved only “mango identity” in ‘maha-chanok’ and “fermented” odour in ‘keaw’ purée. With or without heat treatment, the volatile profiles of ‘maha-chanok’ remained quite stable while heating played a significant role on chemical ingredients of ‘keaw’ and ‘sam-pee’. Our study demonstrated that the manufacturing of the over-ripe mango into the products of high market value, selection of varieties is vitally important based upon their specific aroma characteristics before and after processing.

Integrating a Low-Cost Electronic Nose and Machine Learning Modelling to Assess Coffee Aroma Profile and Intensity

Aroma is one of the main attributes that consumers consider when appreciating and selecting a coffee; hence it is considered an important quality trait. However, the most common methods to assess aroma are based on expensive equipment or human senses through sensory evaluation, which is time-consuming and requires highly trained assessors to avoid subjectivity. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the coffee intensity and aromas using a low-cost and portable electronic nose (e-nose) and machine learning modeling. For this purpose, triplicates of nine commercial coffee samples with different intensity levels were used for this study. Two machine learning models were developed based on artificial neural networks using the data from the e-nose as inputs to (i) classify the samples into low, medium, and high-intensity (Model 1) and (ii) to predict the relative abundance of 45 different aromas (Model 2). Results showed that it is possible to estimate the intensity of coffees with high accuracy (98%; Model 1), as well as to predict the specific aromas obtaining a high correlation coefficient (R = 0.99), and no under- or over-fitting of the models were detected. The proposed contactless, nondestructive, rapid, reliable, and low-cost method showed to be effective in evaluating volatile compounds in coffee, which is a potential technique to be applied within all stages of the production process to detect any undesirable characteristics on–time and ensure high-quality products.

Comparative analysis of aroma substances of vanilla co-fermented black tea

Different tea-making processes are different, and the aroma substances and main components of the tea-like products are different. The types of aromas and tastes of tea after processing are different. Vanilla, like tea, needs to be fermented and processed before it presents an attractive milk flavor. Based on the co-fermentation process of vanilla and tea, this study developed co-fermented black tea, and compared the aroma and content analysis of ordinary black tea and co-fermented black tea. The results showed that the special aroma substances of co-fermented vanilla black tea contained 2,3-dihydro-2,2,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde (0.42%); GermacreneD (1.54%); 3,7,11 -Trimethyl-1,6,10-dodecantrien-3-ol acetate (0.28%). It is a new type of mixed black tea product with richer ingredients and unique aroma.

Evaluation of Moist Beef Jerkys (dendeng lambok) Nutrition as a Specific-Spiced Traditional Food at West Sumatera, Indonesia

Moist beef jerky (dendeng lambok) is one of traditional food in Indonesia that potential to be introduced to the world. This kind of food is a form of diversification of processed beef products that use natural spices as ingredients that can improve the taste and nutritional value of beef. In this study, the nutritional changes of the beef on the production of moist beef jerky as a specific-spiced traditional food at West Sumatera, Indonesia were evaluated. The production of traditional moist beef jerky that treated with some specific spices prior to frying, might induced the nutritional compound of the raw beef therefore the nutritional properties such as proximate contents, amino acids, fatty acids and in-vitro protein digestibility of the raw beef was compared with the spiced-fried beef. The Association of Official Analytical Chemist’s method, Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Photo Diode Array Detection, Gas Chromatography-Flame ionization Detection and in-vitro enzymatic analysis were used to analyze proximate contents, amino acids, fatty acids and in-vitro protein digestibility of the samples respectively. As the result, the moisture content and carbohydrate content of fried beef decreased significantly compared to the raw beef while the protein and fat content increased. Moreover, the frying process of spiced beef could increased the amino acids, fatty acids and in-vitro protein digestibility of the beef. The present study showed that the quality characteristics of moist beef jerky were significantly improved compared to the raw beef especially on protein profile, fat profile and in-vitro protein digestibility. The utilization of specific spices and frying process on the production of moist beef jerky not only contribute to nutritional properties, but also contribute to its taste and flavor. The increment of amino acids and fatty acids might contribute to the emergence of specific aroma and flavor of produced moist beef jerky. Moreover, the specific study on the interaction of moist beef jerky’s spices on its nutritional properties should be clarified further.

Suitability of Different Rooting Media and Length of Cuttings on Growth and Yield Performance of Mint (&lt;em&gt;Mentha&lt;/em&gt; spp.)

Mint (<em>Mentha</em> spp) is an aromatic perennial herb. It belongs to the family Lamiaceae due to the specific aroma which is popular in world. It's not cultivated commercially in Northern part of Sri Lanka. The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the suitability of different rooting media and cutting lengths on growth and yield performance of Mint (<em>Mentha</em> spp) at Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Ariviyal Nagar, Kilinochchi during January to March 2019. Two factor factorial experiment was carried out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with five replicates, where factor one was rooting media and factor two was cutting length. Six potting media (cattle manure, compost, coir dust, partially burnt paddy husk, goat manure and top soil) and four length of cuttings (6 cm, 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm) were used as treatment combinations. Weather, growth and yield parameters and chemical properties were recorded and data were analyzed in ANOVA using SAS 9.1 package. The means were compared by using Duncan Multiple Range Test. Management practices were performed according to the farmer practices. Growth parameters such as plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, branch number, root length and shoot length, yield parameters such as fresh weight of shoot, fresh weight of root and number of stolon) and chlorophyll content of the leaves were significantly different among rooting media and cutting length. The highest plant height, leaf area, length of shoot, fresh weight of shoot and number of stolon were recorded in the media contain goat manure. Number of leaves, number of branches, root length, fresh weight of root and chlorophyll content were highest in compost containing media. Compost and goat manure containing media showed best performance and gave the highest yield. Among these two media, goat manures gave more yield than compost containing media. Fifteen centimeter length of cutting showed the best performance and gave the highest yield. According to the results, it can be concluded, that 15 cm cutting planted in goat manure containing media is best for mint growth and yield in pots.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL MODES OF PRODUCING DRY WHITE TABLE WINES

By using the classical technology of making dry white wines, which does not involve maceration of the pomace, we can produce standard table wines, light and delicate. This minimises such an objectionable factor as saturation of the wine with extra nitrogenous and phenolic substances and oxidative enzymes. On the other hand, this scheme gives a specific varietal aroma no chance to reveal itself more expressively. The paper overviews briefly the scientific works considering the modes of pomace maceration before fermentation and the use of enzyme preparations in the technology of white table wines. The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of wine materials from Rkatsiteli grapes grown in the south of the Mykolaiv Region have been analysed. This analysis has proved that standard white table wine materials can be obtained both by the traditional method (the so called ‘white’ method) and with the use of short-term maceration of the pomace. Macerating the pomace resulted in obtaining fuller, richer wine materials with a bright aroma and good body. It has been shown that to obtain bright and not too blunt wine materials, the most essential parameter of the maceration process is its low temperature. A pectolytic enzyme preparation used during maceration increased, to some extent, the mass concentration of phenolic substances, the reduced extract, the optical density, and the concentration of terpene alcohols. Besides, it allowed fuller revealing a wine’s aromatic profile. The research has resulted in establishing that there is regularity in how the concentration of terpene alcohols changes with different temperature conditions of steeping the pomace. It has been shown that the maximum concentration of terpenes responsible for the varietal aroma is best retained in wine materials when the maceration temperature is 5°C. A rise in the pomace maceration temperature to 20°C led to a decrease in the concentration of labile terpene alcohols, so it should be avoided in producing quality wines. Studying different maceration modes has allowed recommending a certain method to manufacture full-bodied, well-structured white table wines with a pronounced varietal aroma. This method involves adding the enzyme preparation Depectil CLARIFICATION to the pomace and macerating it for 12 hours at 5°C.

Sensory-directed characterisation of distinctive aromas of Sauternes and Viognier wines through semi-preparative liquid chromatography and gas chromatography approaches

Gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS) has been very useful in identifying aroma compounds from within the complex matrix of wine. Supplementary separation can be required to overcome co-elution of volatiles or other sensory-directed chromatographic strategies are needed, including multidimensional chromatography and preparative fraction collection coupled to GC. Studies investigating ‘overripe orange’ aroma in sweet Sauternes wine and the similar ‘apricot’ aroma in Viognier wine were conducted. Wines with the targeted aroma attributes were selected and concentrated wine extracts prepared. GC-O found no individual aroma compounds with the targeted aroma attribute. Semi-preparative HPLC was used to obtain less complex fractions of the wine extracts. The fractions were eluted in water/ethanol and, therefore, could be smelled directly. Fractions with the targeted aroma character were further resolved by GC-preparative fraction collection (GC-PFC). Recombinational GC-PFC demonstrated the importance of the components within a 4 min preparative GC fraction to the ‘overripe orange’ aroma of typical Bordeaux dessert wine. In Viognier wine, monoterpenes linalool, α-terpineol and geraniol as well as benzaldehyde were found to be associated with the ‘apricot’ character. Thus, several wine aroma compounds interact for these specific aromas to be perceived. This sensory-led combination of separation techniques is a powerful tool for the identification of key compounds responsible for specific aromas across the wine and beverage industries.
