Development of beef volatile flavor compounds in response to varied oven temperature and degree of doneness

Beef volatile flavor compound (VFC) development at the center, mid, and surface layers of cooked steaks was evaluated through 18 cookery treatment combinations consisting oven cooking temperature (OT; 177°C, 246°C, 343°C) final internal steak (IT; 57°C, 63°C, 68°C, 74°C, 79°C, 85°C). In total, 72 VFC were measured representing Maillard reaction lipid degradation. Five impacted by a three-way interaction OT × IT layer (P ≤ 0.030). Two two-way 0.010). Sixteen 0.050). Twenty main effect Eight compounds formed primarily surfaces, with general increase in content greater IT, to lesser extent. Lipid-derived diverse. Methyl esters aldehydes had lower contents surfaces found within inner portions steaks. Conversely, certain alcohols ketones more prominent surfaces. Development among also consistently influenced OT. It may be concluded that flavor-contributing vary beef different depths temperatures. As result, utilized mediate composition.
