| Abstract: | "The aroma concentrates of two types of raw miso (traditional Japanese fermented soybean paste) were prepared by combining solid phase extraction (SPE) and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) techniques. The aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) applied to the volatile fraction revealed 39 odor-active peaks with FD factors between 4(1) and 4(8). Among the perceived odorants, 32 odorants were identified or tentatively identified from the 39 odor-active peaks, and the newly identified odorants for the miso were half of them. Furthermore, by comparison of the FD factors between the raw miso and heat-processed miso, it was found that one increasing odorant (methional) and three decreasing odorants (1-octen-3-one, (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-one, and trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal) contributed to the flavor change during the heat processing. This finding suggested that the flavor change in the raw miso during heat processing is attributed to relatively few odorant changes. In addition, it was assumed that the amino acids included in the miso have a significant influence on the remarkable disappearance of the three decreasing odorants" |
