Abstract: | "The purpose of this study was to determine the key odor-active compounds contributing to the off-flavor of aged pasteurized yogurt (APY) using sensory-directed flavor analysis. Additionally, different extraction methods were compared to determine their effects on the volatile compounds, including dynamic headspace sampling (DHS), solid-phase microextraction, and stir bar sorptive extraction, and DHS was found to be suitable for this study. The results showed that comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry analysis (GC x GC-O-MS) had more advantages in separating and identifying the volatile compounds than the traditional GC-O-MS. A total of 17 odor-active compounds were determined in the fresh pasteurized yogurt and APY samples by DHS coupled with GC x GC-O-MS. The dynamic headspace dilution analysis demonstrated that 2-heptanone and hexanal were the most vital components in APY with the highest flavor dilution factor. Furthermore, the spiking and omission experimental results revealed that the odor-active compounds, such as 2-heptanone, butanoic acid, pentanoic acid, hexanal, and (E)-2-heptenal, were the key odor-active off-flavor contributors in APY. Therefore, these compounds could be used as potential indicators to determine the freshness of pasteurized yogurt" |
