Identification of volatile compounds in soymilk using solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) gas chromatography was used to analyze volatile compounds in soymilk. The effect of incubation temperature (30–70 °C) and time (5–60 min), sample volume (0.5–5 ml), and type of SPME fiber (65 μm CWAX–DVB, 70 μm PDMS–DVB and 85 μm CAR–PDMS) were studied. All the factors markedly affected sensitivity and selectivity. Among the three fibers tested, the CAR–PDMS fiber had greater sensitivity to a more diverse range of volatile compounds, followed by PDMS–DVB and CWAX–DVB fibers using both soymilk and water with added volatiles as a matrix. SPME optimization conducted using a water matrix with added known soy volatiles, showed the following conditions to be optimal for selectivity and sensitivity: incubation temperature of 40 °C, incubation time of 20 min, and sample volume of 5 ml (for volatile compound concentration of ∼25 ppm). The selected conditions were used for the analysis of volatiles in six commercial soymilk samples. A total of 30 volatile compounds were identified. The results showed significant differences in the total volatiles of the soymilk products. The repeatability of measurements of total volatiles compounds of soymilk was ∼5.4% for four replicate analyses. Similar volatile compounds were present in all the samples analyzed but at different concentrations. The method proposed is simple and can be used to measure both hexanal and/or total volatiles in soymilk samples.     

Identification of volatile components in Chinese Sinkiang fermented camel milk using SAFE,SDE, and HS-SPME-GC/MS

The volatile components of Chinese Sinkiang fermented camel milk were isolated by solvent assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE), simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE, dichloromethane and diethyl ether as solvent, respectively) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME, CAR/PDMS, PDMS/DVB and DVB/CAR/PDMS fibre extraction, respectively) and analysed by GC/MS. A total of 133 volatile components were identified under 6 different conditions, including 30 esters, 20 acids, 18 saturated alcohols, 15 unsaturated aliphatic alcohols, 8 saturated ketones, 9 saturated aldehydes, 8 unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes, 6 furans, 5 sulphur-containing compounds, 5 ethers, 5 lactones, 3 other compounds, and 1 unsaturated aliphatic ketone. Three pretreatment methods were compared, assisted by principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that the volatile components obtained using different methods varied greatly both in categories and in content, and therefore, a multi-pretreatment method should be adopted together with GC/MS. A total of 71 aroma-active compounds were detected by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC–O), among which 66 aroma-active compounds were found by SDE (60, dichloromethane as solvent; 24, diethyl ether as solvent), 26 by SAFE.

Optimisation of HS-SPME to study representativeness of partially baked bread odorant extracts

Head-space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) has been successfully applied to extract partially baked bread volatile compounds. During this study, three HS-SPME parameters (extraction time, extraction temperature, SPME fibre) were optimised on volatile compounds extraction thanks to a representativeness analysis. Results displayed that a CAR/PDMS or a CAR/PDMS/DVB fibre associated with a time of 30 min or 60 min and a temperature of 35 °C allowed obtaining odorant extracts representative of the bread odour. A flash profile was then carried out to highlight the different flavour perceptions which could exist between these four extracts even if they were close to the same bread odour. Completed by the analysis of their qualitative composition, the study revealed that there were some analytical differences in odour perceptions. These differences may be linked to synergic effects caused by the presence of characteristic volatile compounds in the extracts.     

Chemical analysis of French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and simultaneous distillation/extraction (SDE)

Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction (HS-SPME) involving divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) fibre and simultaneous distillation/extraction (SDE) techniques were applied to study the volatile and semi volatile compounds of thawed and cooked Phaseolus vulgaris L. A total of 104 compounds were detected by GC and GC/MS. Thereof, 76 compounds were identified for the first time in this species. The major differences between HS-SPME and SDE were found in the content of identified alcohols (23.62% SDE versus 62.20% SPME), terpenoids (39.15% SDE versus 2.45% SPME), heterocyclic compounds (13.78% SDE versus 1.21% SPME), hydrocarbons (2.22% SDE versus 13.87% SPME) and esters (0.98% SDE versus 12.98% SPME). The SPME technique was found to be useful for rapid and routine quality controls of thawed French beans, while SDE is favourable to study the entire set of flavour volatiles in the corresponding cooked samples.

Furosine and flavour compounds in durum wheat pasta produced under different manufacturing conditions: Multivariate chemometric characterization

The headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) technique followed by GC/MS analysis was performed to evaluate the volatile fraction of durum wheat pasta produced under different process conditions (artisan manufacturing methods or industrial processes). At the same time, HPLC analysis was performed to quantify furosine in the same pasta samples. Furosine is commonly used as an index of nutritional damage occurring during pasta drying, although drastic thermal treatments may lead to its underestimation. Moreover, since furosine determination requires time/solvent-consuming methods, a more convenient approach could be the identification of volatile compounds formed during the drying step and detectable through simple and automated methods. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to experimental data in order to discriminate pasta samples according to their drying conditions. A limited number of volatile compounds including Maillard reaction and lipid-derived products (nonanal, hexanal, nonanoic acid, maltol and 2-furanmethanol) proved to be crucial in the differentiation of the samples. Therefore, these compounds could be used as pasta quality markers, alternatively to furosine, or as process markers to keep the drying treatment under control.     

Development of a solid phase microextraction protocol for the GC–MS determination of volatile off-flavour compounds from citral degradation in oil-in-water emulsions

The conditions for headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) analysis of volatile off-flavour compounds in citral emulsion were determined. Type of SPME phase (65 μm PDMS/DVB, 100 μm PDMS and 75 μm CAR/PDMS), adsorption temperature and salt concentration were significant factors affecting total peak area in the gas chromatogram and optimised in one factor experiments. Then, adsorption temperature (30–50 °C), adsorption time (20–40 min), and salt concentration (0–6 M) were studied to develop HS-SPME condition for obtaining the highest extraction efficiency. PDMS/DVB in 65 μm was the optimum fiber because of high adsorption efficiency and good reproducibility. The optimal condition was adsorption at 50 °C for 40 min and 6 M salt added to sample. Good Linearity, high recovery, good reproducibility and low limit of detection (LOD) for all off-odour compounds according to the optimised SPME conditions indicated that the SPME procedure was applicable for the analysis of the degraded citral products in headspace volatile of emulsion.

为研究欧姆加热对豆浆挥发性物质的影响,采用顶空固相微萃取结合气相色谱-质谱联用技术,对豆浆的风味物质进行分析,利用内标法对各风味物质成分定量分析。通过对比50/30?μm二乙基苯/碳分子筛/聚二甲基硅氧烷（divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane,DVB/CAR/PDMS）、100?μm PDMS、65?μm PDMS/DVB 3 种萃取头对豆浆风味物质的萃取效果,筛选出最佳的萃取头,并在最适条件下分析豆浆的风味物质成分,为排除热效应对实验结果的影响,2?种热处理历程尽可能保持一致。结果表明：65?μm PDMS/DVB纤维萃取头较100?μm PDMS和50/30?μm DVB/CAR/PDMS纤维萃取头更适宜豆浆风味物质的测定;从豆浆样品中共检测到35?种挥发性物质,其中醛类物质16?种,醇类物质5?种,酮类物质3?种,酯类物质1?种,杂环烃类物质10?种,主要包括己醛、（E）-2-庚烯醛、1-辛烯-3-醇等,这些物质共同组成豆浆的特征香气;不同加热处理对豆浆风味物质种类的影响不大,但是对特征香气含量有显著影响（P＜0.05）;欧姆加热处理组样品中己醛、1-辛烯-3-醇、（E）-2-辛烯醛的含量分别比传统加热处理组约低45.55%、58.60%、25.56%,且在欧姆加热处理样品组中未检测到（E）-2-己烯醛和正己醇,而这些物质是豆腥味的主要组成成分。因此,利用欧姆加热方式加热豆浆可以显著降低豆浆的豆腥味。本研究可以为欧姆加热技术在豆浆加工业中的应用提供理论依据。     

Aroma formation in Dianhong black tea: Effects of baking

Baking is the last, and yet most essential, step in the formation of the final distinct flavour of most black tea products. In this study, the influence of baking on the volatile components of Dianhong black tea, which is one of the most popular black teas in China, was investigated. As a very fast, effective, and simple method for collecting volatiles, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with a 65 µm PDMS/DVB fibre was used to extract the volatile compounds of Dianhong black tea, and the volatile components were further separated and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the peak areas of alcohols, aldehydes, esters, and ketones were increased, but that those of some alkanes, acids, and nitrogen compounds did not demonstrate an obvious increase after baking. The differences generated by baking process actually result in the distinct flavour of most black teas and can be used as a model for analysing the chemical composition of special flavours, and for quality improvement and process control.

Influence of the type of fiber coating and extraction time on foal dry-cured loin volatile compounds extracted by solid-phase microextraction (SPME)

Extraction of dry-cured loin volatile compounds by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was optimized. Two different fiber coatings: carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) and divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS), and three extraction times (15, 30 and 45 min) were assayed. Between the fibers tested, CAR/PDMS coated fibers extracted between two and three times more total amount of volatile compounds than the DVD/CAR/PDMS coating (1314 × 10⁶ vs. 526 × 10⁶ area units). Fifty five compounds were extracted by the CAR/PDMS fiber, while only 48 of these were found with the DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber. On the other hand, 6 additional volatile compounds were extracted by the CAR/PDMS coating, all of them being of low molecular weight. Three of the major compounds extracted, hexanoic acid, methyl ester; butanoic acid, 3-methyl-, methyl ester and hexanal, were found in high proportion in both fiber coatings. The effect of exposure time was more marked for the DVD/CAR/PDMS fiber than for the CAR/PDMS coating. Fifteen minutes of extraction provided a volatile compounds profile with lower area counts for most compounds and significantly different to that obtained with 30 and 45 min of extraction. The extraction yields of dry-cured loin volatile compounds varied according to the fiber coating used and the time of exposure. Therefore, extraction conditions should be selected depending on the objective of the study. Finally, it can be concluded that both porous fibers tested, CAR/PDMS and DVB/CAR/PDMS, provide a similar volatile compounds profile for dry-cured foal loin.

The linearity was very good in the considered concentration ranges (R² ? 0.97). Average recoveries ranged from 88.3% to 121.7% and showed good accuracy for the proposed analytical method. Average relative standard deviation (RSD) for five replicate analyses was found to be less than 14%. The limit of detection (LOD) ranged from 0.06 to 2.27 mg/l for all volatile flavor compounds and confirmed the feasibility of the HS-SPME technique for headspace analysis of orange beverage emulsion. The method was successfully applied for headspace analysis of five commercial orange beverage emulsions.     

Volatile Constituents of Jambolan (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Syzygium cumini</Emphasis> L.) Fruits at Three Maturation Stages and Optimization of HS-SPME GC-MS Method Using a Central Composite Design

The volatile compounds of jambolan (Syzygium cumini L.) fruit were determined at three different maturity stages (unripe, half-ripe, and ripe) by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME)–gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique using five different fibers (Fused silica PDMS/DVB, DVB/CAR/PDMS, PEG, Stable flex PDMS/DVB, and PDMS).

In order to investigate the volatile composition of the siriguela fruit (Spondias purpurea L.), the pulp of the fresh fruit was submitted to solid phase microextracton (SPME) using different fibers, divinylbenzene-carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS), carbowax-divinylbenzene (CW/DVB), carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fibers. DVB/CAR/PDMS showed to be the more efficient qualitative and semi-quantitatively fiber in trapping these compounds. It was made possible to identify ketones, alcohols, aldehydes, esters and terpenic hydrocarbons in the headspace. The major compounds identified were hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, 3-hexen-1-ol, 2-hexen-1-ol, ethyl acetate and hexyl acetate. To have a clear picture of the retention indices of these compounds a new protocol, in which the standard hydrocarbon mixture is submitted to SPME, was developed and successfully used.

Influence of the Type of Extraction Conditions and Fiber Coating on the Meat of Sauced Duck Neck Volatile Compounds Extracted by Solid-Phase Microextraction (SPME)

In this paper, extraction of sauced duck neck meat volatile compounds by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was optimized. Three extraction temperatures (30, 45, 60 °C), three extraction times (15, 30, 45 min), and three different fiber coatings (divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS), polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB), and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)) were assayed. There were 82 volatile compounds identified and quantified, which belonged to nine families of chemicals including alcohols, acids, esters, ketones, aldehydes, aromatic compounds, heterocycles, monoterpenes, oxygenated monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. The major volatile compounds of sauced duck neck came from spices addition, oxidation, Maillard reaction, etc. Almost all the compounds were extracted by the DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber at 45 °C, and the optimal time of extraction in this case was 15 min, during which DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber reached equilibration. Among the fibers tested, DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber favored the extraction of a wide range of compounds with low and high boiling point. On the other hand, PDMS/DVB fiber absorbed more polar and high retention index (RI) aromatic compounds.
