Abstract:

In order to investigate the volatile flavor components in a Chinese style traditional meat product, Harbin air-dried sausage, headspace (HS) solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) technique was employed to extract volatile flavor components. And then, volatile compounds were successfully separated and identified by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). A total of 28 volatile compounds were identified in this work, which included 14 hydrocarbons, 5 aldehydes, 4 esters, 2 phenols, 2 ethers and 1 alcohol. The formation of these volatile flavor compounds might be due to the addition of alcohol, spices, lipid oxidation, amino acid catabolism, microbial activities and the interactions among them. In this experiment,the predominant volatile compound in Harbin air-dried sausage samples was ethyl caproate, followed by ethanol, hexanal and ethyl butyrate. Some branched chain aldehydes including benzaldehyde, 3- methylbutanal and 2-methylbutanal were also detected and identified in Harbin air-dried sausage samples.
