Abstract: In order to evaluate the major off-flavor components in frozen strawberry juice after ultra-high pressure (UHP) treatment, strawberry juice was subjected to UHP treatment at 400 MPa for 15 min, and then stored at -60, -18 ℃ and -5 ℃ for 4 weeks, respectively. Solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) with different fiber coatings and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to analyze and identify the major off-flavor components. The results showed that volatile flavor components of strawberry juice after frozen storage revealed an obvious change and unpleasant off-flavor was observed. Compared with unfrozen strawberry juice, hydrogen sulfide and isooctyl alcohol were detected in frozen strawberry juice as the major off-flavor sources.

Key words: solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), strawberry juice, off-flavor
