Fricke, Kristina published the artcileCharacterization of the Key Aroma Compounds in a Commercial Milk Chocolate by Application of the Sensomics Approach, Recommanded Product: 2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine, the main research area is aroma compound milk chocolate sensomics; aroma extract dilution analysis; aroma recombinate; lactones; methanethiol; odor activity value; sensomics.

Compared to dark chocolate, which is mainly produced from roasted cocoa and sucrose, milk chocolates contain different dairy products, such as milk powder, butter fat, or dairy cream. This difference in recipe renders a typical aroma attributed to this type of chocolate, often described as milky or creamy. To get an idea of the odorants responsible for this odor note, an aroma extract dilution anal. was applied on a distillate obtained by extraction and SAFE distillation of a com. milk chocolate evaluated with an intense “”milky, creamy”” attribute. The identification experiments in combination with the flavor dilution (FD) factors revealed 48 odor-active compounds, among which phenylacetic acid (honey-like) and vanillin (vanilla-like) showed the highest FD factors followed by 2-methoxyphenol (smoky) and nonanoic acid (musty, pungent). The quantitation of 40 odorants by stable isotope dilution assays (SIDA) and a subsequent calculation of odor activity values (OAV; ratio of concentration to odor threshold) revealed di-Me trisulfide (cabbage-like) and butanoic acid (sweaty) with the highest OAVs (>170), followed by 3-methylbutanoic acid (sweaty), acetic acid (vinegar-like), and phenylacetic acid. An aroma recombinate prepared with 39 reference odorants in the same concentrations as those determined for the compounds in the milk chocolate showed a good similarity with the overall aroma profile of the milk chocolate. A comparison of the results with the recent literature data on dark chocolates also evaluated by the Sensomics approach suggested that, in particular, methanethiol and a series of lactones may contribute to the milky, creamy odor note because these were reported with much lower odor activities in the dark chocolates.

Lu, Yunhao published the artcileFlavor volatiles evolution of Chinese horse bean-chili-paste during ripening, accessed by GCxGC-TOF/MS and GC-MS-olfactometry, Recommanded Product: 2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine, the main research area is horse bean chili paste flavor volatile ripening GCTOFMS olfactometry.

The evolution of volatile compounds during the ripening of Chinese horse bean-chili-paste (CHCP) was investigated in this study. GCxGC-TOF/MS allowed an identification of 748 volatiles in three CHCP samples, resp., ripened for 3 mo (M3), 12 mo (M12) and 24 mo (M24), and it showed that a longer ripening resulted in a richer diversity of the volatiles. In addition, M3 contained more aldehydes and organic acids in content and M12 had more alcs., ketones, and esters, while M24 was abundant in heterocyclics. A total of 69 among the 748 volatiles were discriminated as the key flavor compounds of CHCP by method of Fisher ratio together with odor activity value and flavor dilution, including 12 alcs., 9 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 5 organic acids, 16 esters, 4 phenols, 6 sulfur-containing compounds, and 13 heterocyclics. Further, principal component anal. suggested that some key aldehydes contributed the flavor of M3, while some key alcs., esters and heterocyclics existed in M12, and some key phenols and heterocyclics were in M24. Varying of the key flavor volatiles during CHCP ripening gave it different fragrance configurations. Results presented details for the volatile profiles of CHCP during the natural ripening period, beneficial to shorten fermentation time by functional microorganisms, and could enrich the desire flavors.

Guo, Hongxia published the artcileEffects of electron-beam irradiation on volatile flavor compounds of salmon fillets by the molecular sensory science technique, Related Products of pyrazines, the main research area is electron beam irradiation odor active compound salmon volatile flavor; aroma extract dilution analysis; electron-beam irradiation; odor active compounds; odor activity value; salmon.

Vacuum-packed salmon was treated by electron beam irradiation preservation technol., to study the effects of electron-beam irradiation on odor active compounds of salmon by two types of methods for extraction: headspace-solid phase micro extraction (HS-SPME) and solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE). Volatile flavor compounds examined by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatog.-olfactometry (GC-O), combined with aroma extract dilution method (AEDA) and odor activity value (OAV) for identification of important odorants. In addition, the correlation between sensory attributes and volatile compounds of salmon irradiated at different doses was analyzed by partial least squares regression (PLSR). The results showed that after SPME and SAFE extraction, a total of 49 and 70 volatile flavor compounds were detected in salmon before and after electron beam irradiation AEDA and OAV were further identified, among which 10 odorants were considered as important volatile flavor compounds and played an important role in the formation of aroma contours such as meaty, fatty, and grassy in salmon. In addition, methanethiol, 3-Me butyraldehyde, 3-Me Pr aldehyde, di-Me disulfide, di-Me trisulfide, and 2-pentyl furan were identified as the important volatile flavor compounds in salmon irradiated with 4 kGy, and were also the unique compounds that constituted irradiation off-odor. In general, salmon irradiated with 1 kGy showed the best aroma profile. Practical Application : SPME and SAFE were used as two types of extraction methods for volatile compounds of salmon, which complemented each other. Addnl., combined with AEDA and OAV, characteristic flavor compounds were identified. Furthermore, the odor fingerprint of salmon with E-beam irradiation was established for the first time.

Fermented cocoa beans can be described as a complex matrix that integrates the chem. history of beans, their processing, and environmental factors. This study presents an anal. that aims to identify volatile compounds of five varieties of fine-aroma cocoa types. The cocoa types studied were Carmelo, Rojo Samuel, Lagarto, Arcoiris, Regalo de Dios, that grow in the Maya lands of Chiapas, Mexico. Profile of volatile compounds was obtained from each cacao type during fermentation and drying process. This profile of volatile compounds also was compared with beans unfermented, using a statistical anal. of Venn diagram and a multivariate Anal. of Principal Components (PCA). One hundred nine different compounds were identified by SPME-HS GC-MS, these compounds mainly related to desirable aromatic notes generated by esters, aldehydes, ketones, and alcs. The differences in chem. composition of the volatile compounds were associated mainly with the process and not to cocoa varieties. Fermented dry cocoa beans showed a higher content of esters, aldehydes, pyrazines, alcs., some acids, and furans where Lagarto (CL), Rojo Samuel (CR), and Regalo de Dios (TRD) cocoas type showed a more interesting aromatic profile. On the other hand, as expected dry unfermented cocoas presented a few numbers of aroma compounds, in the five cacao types, where alcs., ketones and hydrocarbons predominated.

Woll, Matthew G. published the artcileDiscovery and Optimization of Small Molecule Splicing Modifiers of Survival Motor Neuron 2 as a Treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Product Details of C6H9N3, the main research area is survival motor neuron SMN2 splicing modifier spinal muscle atrophy; piperazinylcoumarin preparation structure activity SMN2 splicing modifier muscle atrophy.

The underlying cause of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a deficiency of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Starting from hits identified in a high-throughput screening campaign and through structure-activity relationship investigations, we have developed small mols. that potently shift the alternative splicing of the SMN2 exon 7, resulting in increased production of the full-length SMN mRNA and protein. Three novel chem. series, represented by compounds 9, 14, and 20, have been optimized to increase the level of SMN protein by >50% in SMA patient-derived fibroblasts at concentrations of <160 nM. Daily administration of these compounds to severe SMA Δ7 mice results in an increased production of SMN protein in disease-relevant tissues and a significant increase in median survival time in a dose-dependent manner. Our work supports the development of an orally administered small mol. for the treatment of patients with SMA.

Chetschik, Irene published the artcileCharacterization of the Flavor Properties of Dark Chocolates Produced by a Novel Technological Approach and Comparison with Traditionally Produced Dark Chocolates, Recommanded Product: 2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine, the main research area is flavor dark chocolate new technol; aroma extract dilution analysis; dark chocolate; odor activity values; sensory profile; three-phase decanter.

Dark chocolates produced by a novel technol. approach (NCs) were characterized in comparison with those traditionally produced (TCs) by sensory evaluation, gas chromatog.-olfactometry in combination with aroma extract dilution anal., quantitation of the aroma-relevant chocolate odorants by stable isotope dilution assays, and calculation of the odor activity values (OAVs). The results of the sensory investigation by cluster anal. clearly showed a differentiation between the NC and the TC samples. The findings of the aroma measurements revealed that NCs were characterized by low OAVs of volatile acids such as acetic and 3-methylbutanoic acid and high OAVs especially for the esters Et 2-methylbutanoate and Et 3-methylbutanoate in comparison to TC samples. In contrast to that, no relevant differences could be observed for thermally generated compounds such as Strecker aldehydes and pyrazines.

Pua, Aileen published the artcileImproved detection of key odourants in Arabica coffee using gas chromatography-olfactometry in combination with low energy electron ionisation gas chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, Product Details of C7H10N2, the main research area is odorant Arabica coffee GC olfactometry electron ionization qTOF MS; AEDA; Coffee; GC-QTOF; Low energy EI; Volatiles.

Four Arabica coffees (Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Guatemala) yield highly variant odors, attesting to the complexities of coffee aroma that command advanced anal. tools. In this study, their volatiles were extracted using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME). Due to matrix complexity, some trace odorants were detected in SAFE extracts by aroma extract dilution anal. (AEDA) but remained difficult to quantify by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This prompted the application of low energy electron ionization (EI) coupled with GC-quadrupole time-of-flight (GC-QTOF). Optimal low EI GC-QTOF parameters (EI energy: 15 eV, acquisition rate: 3 Hz) were applied to achieve improved mol. ion signal intensity and reproducibility (relative standard deviation < 10%) across five compounds, which resulted in good linearity (R2 â‰?0.999) and lowered detection levels (e.g. 0.025 ± 0.005 ng/mL for 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone). Therefore, this method potentially improves the measurement of trace odorants in complex matrixes by increasing specificity and sensitivity.

Zanin, Rodolfo Campos published the artcileThe role of ultrasound-assisted emulsification of roasted coffee oil on aroma profile in spray-dried microparticles and its dynamic release by PTR-ToF-MS, Category: pyrazines, the main research area is ultrasound emulsification roasted coffee oil spray dried microparticle microencapsulation.

Abstract: This work evaluated the use of roasted coffee oil (RCO) and the effects of ultrasound (US)-assisted emulsification on RCO-in-water emulsion properties, the changes in the composition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of roasted coffee aroma during US and microencapsulation by spray drying, and VOCs release profile upon instant coffee reconstitution. VOCs were determined by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry, and the release profile was monitored in real-time by Proton Transfer Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS). US was found to be effective in producing stable submicron emulsions (â‰?2.0μm) that resulted in high encapsulation efficiency (> 90%) of the microparticles. Significant changes were detected in VOC composition throughout the microencapsulation process. The addition of microparticles loaded with RCO in instant coffee did not change the VOCs release profile during the brew preparation but was effective in increasing coffee aroma.

Kulapichitr, Fareeya published the artcileImpact of drying process on chemical composition and key aroma components of Arabica coffee, Formula: C7H10N2, the main research area is drying aroma Arabica coffee; Chemical composition; Coffee; Drying; Flavor; Sensory evaluation; Stable isotope dilution analysis.

Influence of heat pump drying (HP at 40, 45 and 50 °C), tray drying (TD) and sun drying (SD) on the quality of Arabica coffee was evaluated. Drying process did not affect the caffeine content, but influenced levels of some amino acids. Sucrose content was higher in HP and TD than in SD green coffees. The perceived aroma of brewed coffee from SD was similar to HP, but differed from TD. Concentrations of 30 important odorants were compared for SD, HP (50 °C) and TD brewed coffees. 2-Furfurylthiol, a key odorant of coffee, was at the same level in SD and HP coffees and lowest in TD samples. Principal component anal. (PCA) separated SD from HP and TD, based on the concentrations of 23 odorants. Combined results of sensory and chem. analyses showed that in comparison to SD, HP was superior to TD for preserving overall flavor quality.
