Jben is a highly popular soft white cheese consumed in Morocco for its nutritional and health benefits. The aroma and aroma-active compounds of salted and unsalted Jben were investigated in this study. Aroma compounds were isolated by the purge and trap extraction (PTE) method and analysed by aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC–MS-O). A total of 36 aroma compounds were characterized Jben samples, among them 30 and 32 compounds were detected in the salted Jben (260.88 mg/kg) and unsalted Jben (230.04 mg/kg) samples respectively. The alcohols, followed by acids and esters, were the most dominant aroma compounds in both samples. A total of 22 (salted Jben) and 25 (unsalted Jben) aroma-active compounds were detected in the samples using GC–MS-O. Based on the flavour dilution (FD) factor, the most potent aroma-active compounds were ethyl caproate (FD = 2048, OAV = 2306, overripe fruit and pineapple odours), isoamyl acetate (FD = 2048, OAV = 2491, apple odour), hexyl acetate (FD = 1024, OAV = 1355, green odour), and isoamyl butyrate (FD = 1024, OAV = 932, green-fruity odour) for the salted Jben sample and ethyl caproate (FD = 2048, OAV = 2388) and isoamyl acetate (FD = 1024, OAV = 880) for the unsalted Jben sample. The odour activity values (OAVs) ranged from 1 to 2491. The lowest OAVs represent the low aromatic active compounds (FD ≤ 32). The GC–MS-O results were also consistent with the results of sensory analysis of the Jben samples.

PubMedID: 31476250 Abstract: Caper (Capparis spinosa) is an important food ingredient whose fresh parts, particularly the flower buds, are consumed as a starter with olives, cheese, and nuts, or are used as a component in other foods. It is one of the most popular species of aromatic plants grown in the Mediterranean zone. Fermentation makes the caper edible and affects the overall aroma as well as sensory and nutritional characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in aroma, aroma-active, and phenolic compounds of caper as affected by fermentation. Purge and trap method was used for the extraction of the aroma compounds, while gas chromatography-mass spectrometry olfactometry and Liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS) were employed for the detection of aroma-active compounds and phenolics, respectively. The results showed that the total amount of aroma compounds decreased drastically (62,616 to 21,471 µg/kg) in fermented sample. Twelve and 10 aroma-active compounds were detected in fresh and fermented caper buds, respectively, for the first time by the application of aroma extract dilution analysis. Among these compounds, methyl isothiocyanate (flavor dilution [FD] factor = 512) in fresh caper and acetic acid (FD factor = 128) in the fermented caper had the highest FD factor. With regard to the phenolic compounds, a total of 16 components were identified in fresh and fermented capers. As observed in aroma compounds, the total phenolic concentration decreased as a result of fermentation. Two phenolic compounds being kaempferol-3-O-glucosyl-rhamnosyl-glucoside and isorhamnetin hexoside were newly identified in caper. Practical Applications: Capparis spinosa is one of the most popular sources of different secondary metabolites of interest to consumers. The results of the present study showed that the fermentation process of the capers is highly influential on the neutral composition of the sample. The total concentrations of aroma and phenolic compounds were reduced by 66% and 78%, respectively, in response to fermentation process. © 2019 Institute of Food Technologists®

WOS: 000461885200004 PubMed ID: 30593706 The current study was designed to find out how olive maturity indices (2.5, 3.5, and 4.5) affect the individual phenolic compounds and antioxidant potencies of olive oils produced from cv. Nizip Yaglik olives. Liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring mode was utilized for the determination of phenolic composition qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings asserted a quite similar phenolic profile (14 phenols) depending on the various phenolic groups in all oils, while the concentration of total and individual phenolic compounds revealed significant differences between the samples statistically (p < 0.05). Among the individual phenolic classes in all samples, secoiridoids were the most prevailing group and their total content showed a clear significant decline as the olive fruits get ripened. Antioxidant potency values showed a clear diminution attitude during the maturation of the olives. The principal component analysis revealed that oils were discriminated from each other according to phenolic compounds and antioxidant potencies. Moreover, oils obtained from the unripe and medium-ripe fruits possessed a very good quality marked by their elevated phenolic levels.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate how olive maturity indices (MI) (2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 MI) affect the aroma, aroma-active compounds, fatty acid profiles and color properties of cv. Nizip Yaglik olive oils. Various techniques for extracting volatiles from oil materials are available in the literature. Aroma compounds were extracted by the solvent-assisted flavor evaporation extraction method for the first time in olive oil.; Results: The type and number of aroma-active compounds varied according to maturity periods of olives. A total of 22, 21 and 20 different key odorants were found in aromatic extracts of samples with 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 MI, respectively. The most potent aroma-active compounds based on flavor dilution (FD) factor values were hexanal (green) for 2.5 MI (FD: 1024) and 3.5 MI (FD: 512), as well as 1-penten-3-ol (green-leafy) for 4.5 MI (FD: 512).; Conclusion: Overall, olive oils obtained from unripe and medium-ripe olives had stronger green and fruity odours compared to ripe olives. Principal component analysis demonstrated that oils were clearly discriminated according to their general physicochemical analysis, fatty acids, aroma profiles and key odorants. The results of the present study show that the olive maturity period has a significant influence on the quality parameters of olive oil. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.; © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Olives are processed in different ways depending on consumption habits, which vary between countries. Different de-bittering methods affect the aroma and aroma-active compounds of table olives. This study focused on analyzing the aroma and aroma-active compounds of black dry-salted olives using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) techniques.; Results: Thirty-nine volatile compounds which they have a total concentration of 29 459 µg kg-1 , were determined. Aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) was used to determine key aroma compounds of table olives. Based on the flavor dilution (FD) factor, the most powerful aroma-active compounds in the sample were methyl-2-methyl butyrate (tropical, sweet; FD: 512) and (Z)-3-hexenol (green, flowery; FD: 256). Phenolic compounds in table olives were also analyzed by LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS. A total of 20 main phenolic compounds were identified and the highest content of phenolic compound was luteolin-7-glucoside (306 mg kg-1 ), followed by verbascoside (271 mg kg-1 ), oleuropein (231 mg kg-1 ), and hydroxytyrosol (3,4-DHPEA) (221 mg kg-1 ).; Conclusion: Alcohols, carboxylic acids, and lactones were qualitatively and quantitatively the dominant volatiles in black dry-salted olives. Results indicated that esters and alcohols were the major aroma-active compounds. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.; © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

BACKGROUND Raisins are one of the favorite dried fruit because of their high healthful and nutrimental values. Three white (Besni beyazi-BBR, Hatun parmagi-HPR and Sultaniye-SR) and two red (Antep karasi-AKR and Besni karasi-BKR) grape varieties were used in the present study. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of Turkish raisins. RESULTS Four flavan-3-ols, six phenolic acids, four flavonols and 13 anthocyanins were identified and quantified in raisins. (+)-Catechin (range, 56.3–419 mg kg−1) was the mosst abundant flavanol, trans-caftaric acid (range, 20.48–114 mg kg−1) was the abundant dominannt phenol acid, quercetin-3-O-glucoside (range, 2.79–12.83 mg kg−1) was the dominant flavonoll and malvidin-3-O-(6-O-p-coumaroyl)-glucoside (range, 16.75–22.59 mg kg−1) wass the major anthocyanin in all raisins. Antioxidant capacity were 22.69–63.66, 5.07–40.47, 7.00–17.69 and 40.d 40.74–77.41 mmol Trolox kg−1 as determined bby the ABTS, DPPH, FRAP and ORAC assays, respectively. CONCLUSIONS 27 phenolic compounds from four phenolic families (i.e. flavan-3-ols, phenolic acids, flavonols and anthocyanins) have been characterised in the raisins of three white and two red grapes. The total phenolic and anthocyanins content vary widely among different raisins. Strong correlations between antioxidative capacity and phenolic content and between antioxidative capacity and flavonol content were noticed. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry

Summary This research was undertaken to evaluate the sugars, organic acids, phenolic compositions and antioxidant capacities of sweet cherry cultivars (Van, Noir de Guben, Larian and 0-900 Ziraat) grown in Turkey. High-performance liquid chromatographic methods were used to identify and quantify four sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose and sorbitol) and four organic acids (malic, citric, shikimic, and fumaric acid). The major organic acid was found as malic acid (8.54–10.02 g kg−1 of FW). With regard to sugars, glucose was present in the largest amounts (44.71–48.31 g kg−1 of FW) for sweet cherry cultivars. The sum of sugars ranged from 103.87 (Larian) to 113.13 g kg−1 of FW (0-900 Ziraat) and that of organic acids from 12.01 (0-900 Ziraat) to 14.17 g kg−1 of FW (Noir de Guben). A total of eleven phenolic compounds were identified and quantified in sweet cherry cultivars, including hydroxycinnamic acids (3), anthocyanins (5), flavan-3-ols (2) and flavonol (1) compounds. Total phenolic contents ranged from 88.72 (Van) to 239.54 (Noir de Guben) mg/100 g of FW, while antioxidant activities ranged from 2.02 to 7.75 μm Trolox equivalents g−1 of FW.

PubMedID: 21922666 In this study, the differences in the aroma compounds released after the free-run and pressed juices of cv. Emir grape (Vitis vinifera L.) were evaluated. Aroma compounds were obtained by liquid-liquid extraction with CH 2Cl 2, and then analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). According to the results, pressing uniformly increased the levels of the aromatic constituents, but this treatment lowered the grape juice quality for winemaking by increasing the total phenolic compounds, browning index, and C 6-alcohol levels (green-herbaceaous odor) as compared to the free-run juice. From all the aroma compounds identified in both juices, hexan-1-ol, (E)-hex-2-en-1-ol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol, and 2-phenylethanol were the most abundant volatile compounds.
