IDENTIFICATION OF POTENT AROMA COMPOUNDS IN THERMALLY TREATED MIXTURES OF GLUCOSE/CYSTEINE AND RHAMNOSE/CYSTEINE USING AROMA EXTRACT DILUTION TECHNIQUES

摘要

Application of an aroma extract dilution analysis on extracts prepared from either thermally treated solutions (20 min, 145 degrees C) of glucose/cysteine (I) or rhamnose/cysteine (II) led to the identification of 2-furfurylthiol (roasty, coffee-like), 5-acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazine (roasty), 3-mercapto-2-butanone (sulfury, rotten), 3-mercapto-2-pentanone (catty), and 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (caramel-like) with the highest odor activities among the 34 odor-active volatiles detected in I. In II, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone, 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-2(2H)-pyranone (seasoning-like), 5-methyl-2-furfurylthiol (roasty, coffee-like), 2-furfurylthiol, and 5-acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazine appeared with the highest flavor dilution (FD) factors among the 18 compounds detected by HRGC/O. Among the flavor compounds identified, 2-propionyl-2-thiazoline is reported for the first time among the flavors of Maillard model reactions or foods, respectively. The odorant elicited an intense roasty, popcorn-like odor at the low odor threshold of 0.07 ng/L in air. [References: 35]
