Evaluation of the key odorants of foods by dilution experiments, aroma models and omission.

چکیده
The state of the art in aroma analysis is reviewed with emphasis on aroma-recombination studies using synthetic blends of odorants (aroma models) which have been prepared on the basis of analytical data. The model that matches the original aroma is the starting material for omission experiments which are performed to establish the odorants that actually contribute to the aroma. These experiments are discussed in detail for the aromas of two wine varieties, three olive oils of different provenance, French fries, boiled beef and coffee. The results indicate that odorants with higher odour activity values (OAV, the ratio of the concentration to the odour threshold) are frequently essential for the aroma. However, there are exceptions where odorants with high OAVs are suppressed in the aroma and compounds with lower OAVs are important contributors. These findings are discussed in the light of model experiments which have been reported in the literature to obtain an insight into the perceptual interactions of odorants in mixtures.

Odor-active constituents in fresh pineapple (Ananas comosus [L.] Merr.) by quantitative and sensory evaluation.
By application of aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) to an aroma distillate prepared from fresh pineapple using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE), 29 odor-active compounds were detected in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range of 2 to 4,096. Quantitative measurements performed by stable isotope dilution assays (SIDA) and a calculation of odor activity values (OAVs) of 12 selected o...
متن کاملIdentification of the key aroma compounds in cocoa powder based on molecular sensory correlations.
Isolation of the volatile fraction from cocoa powder (50 g; 20% fat content) by a careful extraction/distillation process followed by application of an aroma extract dilution analysis revealed 35 odor-active constituents in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range of 8-4096. Among them, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (caramel-like), 2- and 3-methylbutanoic acid (sweaty, rancid), dimethyl tr...
متن کاملQuality evaluation of olive oil by statistical analysis of multicomponent stable isotope dilution assay data of aroma active compounds.
An instrumental method for the evaluation of olive oil quality was developed. Twenty-one relevant aroma active compounds were quantified in 95 olive oil samples of different quality by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and dynamic headspace coupled to GC-MS. On the basis of these stable isotope dilution assay results, statistical evaluation by partial least-squares discriminant an...
متن کاملChanges in key aroma compounds of Criollo cocoa beans during roasting.
Application of a comparative aroma extraction dilution analysis on unroasted and roasted Criollo cocoa beans revealed 42 aroma compounds in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range of 1-4096 for the unroasted and 4-8192 for the roasted cocoa beans. While the same compounds were present in the unroasted and roasted cocoa beans, respectively, these clearly differed in their intensity. For example, 2...

The influence of human salivary enzymes on palm wines' odorant concentrations were investigated by the application of aroma extracts dilution analysis (AEDA) and by the calculation of odour activity values (OAVs), respectively. The odorants were quantified by means of stable isotope dilution assays (SIDA), and the degradation profiles of odorants by human saliva were also studied. Results revea...
