The effect of seasonal and regional differences of rainbow trout on its aroma and aroma-active profile was investigated. Solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) procedure was employed for the aroma extraction while Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Olfactometry (GC-MS-O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) were utilized to assess the aroma-active substances. The olfactometric analysis indicated seasonal and regional differences in the aroma-active compounds contributing to the characteristic odours of the trout samples and the compounds were more intense in autumn and winter. The strongest aroma-actives were hexanal (green), acetoin (buttery, green), limonene (citrus), 2-hexanol (green, pungent) and 1-octen-3-ol (oily, mushroom). The findings of this study can provide useful information for the selection of rainbow trout based on the seasons and locations in terms of marketing and consumer preference.

Black carrot pomace is a juice industry by-product that can be easily spoiled due to its high moisture content and usually considered as waste; however, it is a valuable product with high amount of bioactive compounds that can be recovered for further application in several industrial fields. Drying is an effective method for the preservation of this product. Thus, the influence of five drying methods (FD: freeze drying, MWD: microwave drying, CD: convective drying, VCD: vacuum/convective drying, CHD: conductive hydro drying) on colour, phenolics and volatiles of pomace were investigated. Findings revealed that drying process decreased the amount of anthocyanins, colourless phenolics and volatile compounds. CHD resulted in similar colour quality and yielded a better preservation of colour and phenolics while FD provided dried sample with an aroma quality similar to fresh sample. The shorter duration of the CHD makes it a better choice.

Gilaburu fruit and its products have gained popularity due to their nutritional content, taste and health benefits. Even though fermented gilaburu juice is widely preferred and consumed in some regions, there is no detailed study on the optimization of the production conditions of this popular beverage. In this study, gilaburu fruit juices fermented naturally (NFJ) and with three commercial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (L. plantarum: FJLP, L. delbureckii: FJLD, L. caseii: FJLC) were examined for the first time. The microbial properties, phenolics, aroma compounds, minerals, amino acid contents and sensory properties were examined. It was found that the phenolics and volatiles were richer in the samples fermented with LAB but their amino acid contents were in lower amounts as compared to the NFJ sample. The juices produced with L. plantarum (FJLP) and L. delbrueckii (FJLD) presented better aroma, colour, flavour, and overall acceptability.

Volatiles, key odorants, phenolics and antioxidant properties of raw, boiled and oven-cooked champignon and oyster mushrooms were investigated. Total concentration of the volatiles was drastically reduced by both cooking treatments and the lowest contents were found in the oven-cooked sample. Alcohols and terpenes were the dominant aroma groups in the raw champignon and oyster sample, respectively. The highest FD factor (FD = 2048) was found for 1-octen-3-one and methional in raw and boiled champignon samples while the same FD factor was determined in 1-octen-3-ol and methional in raw and boiled oyster samples. It was determined that the phenolics were more abundant in champignon samples than the oyster samples and that the boiling process caused a decrease while oven-cooking resulted in an increase in the amount of phenolics in both varieties. It was revealed that cooking was a crucial factor for the key odorants and phenolics in champignon and oyster mushrooms.

The main objective of this study was to compare bioactive compounds and other important quality parameters of fresh and fermented caper buds and berries. Fresh samples were fermented using dry-salted and brined techniques. The higher phenolic content was determined in the fresh (1843.71 mg/100 g DW) and fermented buds (1198.54–1539.49 mg/100 g DW) rather than the berries (29.72–40.75 mg/100 g DW). Quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, and quercetin-O-galloly-O-hexoside were the principal phenolic components in fresh and fermented buds while quercetin-3-O-rutinoside in fresh and fermented berries. The amounts of isorhamnetin, quercetin, and kaempferol increased in fermented buds and berries compared to fresh samples. Similarly, antioxidant capacity of buds was found to be markedly higher than berries. As for sugar compounds, it was found that fructose in buds (1.56–3.23 g/100 g DW) and glucose in berries (1.96–6.38 g/100 g DW) had the highest amount. When total phenolics and antioxidant properties were evaluated, it was observed that they were better preserved in the dry-salted samples than the brined samples.

Aroma, phenolic compounds and sensory properties of fresh and powdered organic and conventional sweet red peppers dried by three methods (hot air, intermittent microwave and infrared) were studied. The number of aroma compounds was higher in both fresh and powdered organic pepper samples; however, the total amount was higher in conventional samples. In both organic and conventional samples, alcohols were the dominant aroma group. (E)-β-ionone and β-ocimene, which are important compounds in peppers, were determined only in organic peppers. Among the drying methods, intermittent microwave drying was more effective in creating new aroma compounds. The liquid chromatography, coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) revealed that luteolin derivative compounds comprised an average of 70% of the phenolics. Higher amount of phenolic were determined in organic samples. Infrared drying was more effective in retaining of phenolics than the other two methods. Sensory analysis revealed that hot air-dried samples were least preferred.

Turkish coffee is a popular hot beverage owing to its delicious taste and pleasant aroma in Turkey. In the present study, key odorants of medium (MRC) and dark roasted Turkish coffee (DRC) brews were studied using GC-MS-Olfactometry. A total of 26 and 28 key odorants were detected in the MRC and DRC samples, respectively, with flavour dilution (FD) factors varying between 4 and 2048. The highest FD factor (2048) was found for 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2-ethyl-3-methyl pyrazine in the MRC and DRC brew samples, respectively. One of the main differences between the two brew samples was the guaiacol with phenolic-burnt odour. A higher amount of chlorogenic acids (CGAs) was determined in the MRC as compared to the DRC using LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS. According to the sensory analysis, the Turkish coffee sample brewed from the MRC beans had a higher score of general impression and pleasant coffee sensory descriptors as compared to the DRC.

Alaria esculenta is one of the most abundant edible brown seaweeds in Irelandandisconsidered an excellent source of nutrients, sought after by the food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Seaweed is typically blanched and dried prior to consumption to enhance the end-product quality attributes and shelf life. Three blanching techniques were examined in this work; conventional hot water blanching, novel ultrasound blanching and microwave blanching. The L* and b*colour metrics were affected significantly (P 0.01) by the processing methods. There were 76 volatile compounds detected in blanched and dehydrated Alaria esculenta. Freeze-dried samples after treatment with microwave alone (at 1000 W) and microwave (800 W) combined with ultrasound (at 50% amplitude) had the highest retention rate of volatile compounds (up to 98.61%). Regarding mineral content, drying methods significantly affected (P 0.05) the content of Ca, Co, Cu and Fe, while blanching treatments significantly affected (P 0.05) the content of Na, Cu, Fe and Mn.

PubMedID: 28946268 Volatile, aroma-active, and phenolic compounds of pistachio oil obtained from cv. Uzun were investigated in the current study. To obtain a representative aromatic extract, three of the most widely used extraction methods were compared using a representative test; the solvent-assisted flavour extraction (SAFE) aromatic extract from pistachio oil was found to be the most representative. A total of 50 aroma compounds were determined in pistachio oil and it was found that terpenes, aldehydes, and alcohols were the most abundant volatile compounds. Applying GC-MS-olfactometry and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) resulted in a total of 14 aroma-active areas being detected in the extract of pistachio oil. In the phenolic fraction obtained by the LC-ESI-MS/MS method, a total of 12 phenolic compounds was found in the pistachio oil, of which seven compounds were reported for the first time. Eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside and protocatechuic acid were the most dominant phenolic compounds. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

The Fondillon is a wine made from overripe grapes of the Monastrell variety, which is characterized by a high alcohol content and a minimum barrel ageing of 10 years. The objective of this study was to analyze the Fondillon volatile composition, key aroma-active compounds, sensory profile and phenolic composition. Fifty-four volatile compounds were identified, quantified and classified as alcohols, esters, acids, aldehydes, lactones, phenols, hydrocarbons and ketone. From these compounds, 22 aroma-active compounds were identified, with phenylethyl alcohol, diethyl succinate and ethyl lactate having the highest flavor dilution factor. The Fondillon wines were characterized by having high intensity of alcohol, fruity and toasted odor and flavor notes, and long aftertaste. Besides, 25 phenolic compounds were also identified and quantified; the phenolic acids (gallic, protocatechuic and syringic acids) were the predominant phenolic compounds.

PubMedID: 31606693 Shalgam is a beverage which is produced by lactic acid fermentation of black carrot juice. Two commercial methods (traditional method - TM and direct method - DM) used to produce shalgams were compared with respect to their effects on the general compositions, bioactive phenolic compounds and antioxidant potentials for the first time. A total of 25 phenolic compounds comprising anthocyanins, flavonols, and phenolic acids were identified and characterized by LC-DAD-ESI/MSn. Cyanidin-3-xylosyl-galactoside and cyanidin-3-xylosyl-glucosyl-galactoside accounted for the highest amount of the total anthocyanins. Also, seven newly-identified anthocyanins including cyanidin 3-xylosyl-(caffeoyl-glucosyl)-galactoside, cyanidin 3-xylosyl-(p-hydroxybenzoyl-glucosyl)-galactoside, cyanidin 3-xylosyl-galactoside+vinylphenol, cyanidin 3-xylosyl-galactoside+vinylcatechol, cyanidin 3-xylosyl-(feruloyl-glucosyl)-galactoside+vinylcatechol, cyanidin 3-xylosyl-galactoside+ vinylguaiacol, cyanidin 3-xylosyl-(feruloyl-glucosyl)-galactoside+vinylguaiacol were found in the shalgam samples for the first time. Phenolic acids and flavonols of shalgam samples were studied for the first time. The major subclass of the chlorogenic acids was identified as 5-caffeoylquinic acid in the samples. Antioxidant capacities of the samples screened using ABTS and DPPH assays were in accordance with their total phenolic content. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed clear discrimination between the two production methods (TM and DM). This study demonstrated that the DM provided higher phenolic and antioxidant potential than the TM in the shalgam samples. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd 17332003 This research was made possible through the financial support from the Adana Alparslan Turkes Science and Technology University by means of a thesis Project (No: 17332003 ).

WOS: 000447304900053 PubMed ID: 30309564 The aim of this study was to identify phenolic compounds and measure the physicochemical properties of two pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) cultivars ('Uzun' and 'Ohadi'). For this purpose, the pistachios were subjected to four different hulling methods (wet hulling-WT, brine hulling-BR, wet-dry hulling-WD, and dry-dry hulling-DD) and a standard roasting treatment. Phenolic compounds were analyzed by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn. Twelve phenolics were identified and quantified in the samples, 10 of which were flavonoid and two non-flavonoid phenolic acids. In both cultivars, the major compounds were found to be gallic acid and catechin followed by eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside and eriodictyol. The dry-dry hulling method treated sample had higher antioxidant capacity, total phenol content, and phenolic compounds than the other hulling methods in both pistachio cultivars. After the roasting treatment, the antioxidant capacity, phenolic content, and a* value increased while the L* and b* values decreased.

The odour-active and off-odour components of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were evaluated by gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry and mass spectrometry. A microwave assisted distillation followed by solvent extraction (MAD-SE) method for isolation of volatiles in rainbow trout has been developed. Sensory analysis shows that the aromatic extract obtained by this method was representative of rainbow trout odour. A total of 34 and 32 odorous components were separated in DB-5 and DB-Wax column, respectively, and 29 and 27 of these compounds were identified. Among them, nonanal (green, floral), (E,E)-2,4-octadienal (green, cucumber), 2-methylisoborneol (musty), and geosmin (earthy) were the most important contributors to the aroma because they were perceived by all eight panellists in aromatic extracts by Gas chromatography-olfactometry. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

The phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacities of orange juices obtained from cvs. Moro and Sanguinello (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) were determined. A high-performance liquid chromatographic method coupled with diode-array detection was used to identify and quantify phenolic compounds of the orange juices. A total of 18 phenolic compounds were identified and quantified in Moro and Sanguinello orange juices, including hydroxybenzoic acids (2), hydroxycinnamic acids (5), flavanones (5), and anthocyanins (6). It was observed that total phenolic content of Moro juice was higher than that of Sanguinello juice. Ferulic acid was the most dominant hydroxycinnamic acid and cyanidin 3-(6¨-malonyl glucoside) and cyanidin 3-glucoside were the most dominant anthocyanins in both cultivars. Antioxidant activities of orange juices were measured using the DPPH· (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. According to DPPH· assays, the antioxidant capacity of Moro juice was found to be higher than that of Sanguinello juice. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
