    he extraction methods affect the flavor components of essential oils, thereby affect their efficacy. Sensory quantitative description analysis, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and Heracles NEO e-nose combined with chemometrics were used to investigate the volatile compounds of different sweet orange essential oils (EOs). The EOs from blood orange and navel orange were extracted by three extraction methods, i.e. cold pressing (CP), microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MADH) and spinning cone column (SCC). The results indicated that the extraction method greatly influenced the flavor profiles and aroma compounds of EOs. CP EOs exhibited the strongest fruity, sweet and floral aroma with the highest preference, MADH EOs had strongest fatty, green and woody aroma, and SCC extract had a low aroma intensity. A total of 64 volatiles were identified by GC-IMS, primarily terpenes, alcohols and aldehydes, followed by acids, esters and other compounds. The fingerprint directly highlighted the composition variations among six samples. The contents of terpenes were significantly higher in CP and MADH EOs compared to SCC extracts, whereas the contents of alcohols and aldehydes were significantly higher in MADH EOs and SCC extracts compared to CP EOs. Based on relative odor activity value (ROAV), β-myrcene and linalool were identified as the main contributors to the flavor of sweet orange EOs. Moreover, GC-IMS combined with partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and variable importance in projection (VIP) screened out 15 aroma markers that distinguish six EOs. Additionally, the e-nose combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant factor analysis (DFA) also successfully distinguished the six EOs. This study provides data support for the extraction and application of sweet orange EOs.

    The sensory quality and metabolites of 26 varieties (lines) of Leaf utilization wolfberry buds and fresh leaves were analyzed using sensory review and metabolomics techniques combined with multivariate statistical analysis. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the dried leafy wolfberry buds had a mellow, fresh and sweet flavor. The LC-MS results showed that a total of 879 metabolites were identified in Leaf utilization wolfberry buds, including 10 classes of amino acids and their derivatives, flavonoids, phenolic acids, sugars, nucleotides and their derivatives, lignans and coumarins, alkaloids, terpenoids, organic acids, and lipids. According to the VIP>1 and p<0.05 of PLS-DA model, 211 differential metabolites were screened, which were mainly enriched into the metabolic pathways of linoleic acid metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, flavonoids and flavonols biosynthesis, phenylpropanol biosynthesis, and galactose metabolism, etc. The results of PLS-DA double labeling map and classification heat map showed that amino acids and their derivatives, flavonoids, sugars and lipids were the important components for distinguishing the metabolites of different varieties (lineages) of Leaf utilization wolfberry buds, which had the potential to be suitable for the production of white and green teas. PLSR correlation analysis showed that 26 metabolites, including L-theanine, β-alanyl-L-arginine, epicatechin, isoquercitrin, rutin, palmitoleic acid, and cornflower 3-O-rutinoside 5-O-β-D-glucoside, collectively affected the flavors of Leaf utilization wolfberry buds such as mellow, thick, fresh, sweet, and bitter. The results of sensory evaluation combined with PLSR analysis showed that seven Leaf utilization wolfberry, including N1, N9, Z90, Z68, Q3, Q6-13 and Z48, were characterized by better sensory quality and rich in internal components. In this study, sensory review and metabolomics were used for quality evaluation, which provided theoretical support for the selection of 26 varieties (lines) of Leaf utilization wolfberry varieties and the screening of suitable tea types.

    Abstract34)      PDF(pc) (680KB)(14)       Save
    Volatile compounds are important ingredients of flavor quality of tomato fruit. However, whether it responds to the regulation of exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) remains unclear. In this study,“Chaoyan 298”was used as the test material, and four concentrations of MeJA (1 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L, 100 μmol/L and 200 μmol/L) were set. Equal volume water (CK) is as the control and tomato fruit was sprayed twice before harvesting. The composition and content of volatile compounds were determined by headspace-solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) when the fruit was riped. Meanwhile, the optimal MeJA concentration was determined by multivariate statistical analysis. The results showed that 71 volatile components were detected in 5 treatments, including 23 aldehydes, 17 alcohols, 8 ketones, 7 esters, 6 hydrocarbons and 10 other substances. Compared with the CK, the total quantity and total content of volatile compounds in tomato fruits were increased first and then decreased with the increase of concentration, and the maximum value was reached at 100 μmol/L MeJA. There were 33 common components in each treatment, and the highest content was (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol. A total of 13 characteristic aroma components were identified from tomato fruits, which mainly presented green, fruity and flower fragrance. Overall, the results provided theoretical support for the improvement of flavor quality of tomato fruit by MeJA, and were conducive to further exploring the regulation mechanism of synthesis of volatile compounds in tomato fruit.

    Abstract2)            Save
    In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the prediction results of potato VC content, a method for constructing input variables of detection model based on Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) separable data fusion was proposed. Firstly, hyperspectral information of 200 potato samples was collected by hyperspectral imaging technology; and by comparing the modeling results the spectral data before and after the preprocessing by six methods, the multiplicative scatter correction was determined as the optimal preprocessing method. Secondly, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), successive projections algorithm (SPA) and CARS-SPA combination algorithm were used to extract the corresponding feature wavelengths, and 34 effective feature wavelengths were finally determined through comparative analysis. Thirdly, the effective feature wavelengths were fused by FDA to achieve the separability of the data, and the fused new variables was screened according to the discrimination capacity for different samples, so as to determine the input variables of the detection model to be constructed. Finally, the partial least squares model and BP neural network model were established for the variables screened before and after FDA fusion, respectively, and the detection results were compared and analyzed. The results show that the correlation coefficient of the BPNN model is increased from 0.9726 to 0.9990, and the root mean square error is also reduced from 0.7723 to 0.1727 when the first three fused variables of 34 feature wavelengths extracted by CARS algorithm after FDA fusion are used as the input variables for the detection model, which not only reduces data analysis dimension, but also improves its detection ability. Therefore, it is suitable and effective to construct input variables of detection model based on FDA separable data fusion to improve the accuracy of potato VC content detection results.

    There were significant differences in the content of fat, protein, ash, starch and water for four foxtail millet bran fraction(S1-S4) (P<0.05). S3 had the highest nutritional value with 10.96 g/100g protein and 26.05 g/100g fat. At the same time, S3 had larger stacking density(326.07g/L) and a smaller angle of repose (36.75°), which indicated that S3 showed stronger liquidity and easier to be packaged and transported. However, higher moisture and oil content in S3 was not conducive to storage. In terms of processing properties, S3 with strong hydrophilicity was more easily soluble in water, result in higher water solubility index. The foaming ability is the strongest (5.54%) and the stability of foam is the highest (82.86%) in four millet bran, which could form a large number of compact and uniform foam. Correlation analysis shows that the nutritional components such as starch and protein directly affected the processing properties (hydration characteristics, foaming properties, etc.) of millet bran. Using GC-MS technology, 72, 47, 70, and 51 volatile substances were detected from S1-S4. Principal component analysis revealed 10 differential volatile componds in four millet bran, among the 10 different volatile substances, six compounds (Methyl Hexanoate, hexanal, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol di Isobutyric acid, methyl Palmitic acid, nonaldehyde, and methyl Linoleic acid) have the highest content in S1, while four compounds(dodecane, n-hexanol, Undecane, 2-n-pentylfuran) have the highest content in S2. The higher the OAV value, the greater the contribution of odor. The OAV values of nonanal in S1-S4 were 702, 444, 110 and 51, respectively, which can effectively distinguish the foxtail millet bran fraction.

    Abstract3)            Save
    The current studies on green tea quality factor analysis and origin-variety discrimination are mostly on famous green teas, while there are fewer studies on bulk green tea, which are more consumed in daily life. This study used Zhejiang Xiangcha tea, a bulk green tea representative, as its research subject. A total of 50 tea samples were gathered from three production areas and four varieties based on their conventional physicochemical indexes, catechin fractions, sensory factors, and wholesale prices in the origin trading market. Correlation analysis, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and random forest regression (RF-R) were used to extract correlation factors and other information from the data. The results showed that the contents of free amino acids and caffeine were significantly correlated with many sensory factors, which were the key physical and chemical factors for the formation of flavor quality of fragrant tea. The content of free amino acids, catechins and the ratio of phenol to ammonia were the origin-related factors. There were significant differences in the total score, appearance and taste scores of different varieties of aromatic tea, and there were significant differences in aroma and leaf base scores. LDA demonstrated that Xiangcha tea had clear county-origin clustering and that county-origin discrimination was possible. The relative importance of price fitting was appearance > total review score > aroma > soup color > leaf base > taste > amino acids > water extract > phenol to ammonia ratio > caffeine > tea polyphenols, according to RF-well-fitted reference price model for wholesale trading of Xiangcha tea (R2 = 0.867, MAE = 7.907). This study serves as a research guide for the investigation of tea leaf quality factors, origin tracking, variety distinguish, and the development of trade reference prices.

    In order to investigate the changes of physicochemical of different tea samples in the process of multistage membrane separation, ultrafiltration membrane with different pore sizes were used for separation. Fifty samples of 4 classifications of the green,white,Fujian oolong ( southern and northern varieties) ,and black teas were collected and extracted with boiling water for the membrane separation. The water extract of teas were separated by ultrafiltration membrane (20, 10, 3.5 kD), and tea powders were prepared by spray drying respectively. The physicochemical properties of tea powders were analyzed and compared including UV absorption spectrum characteristics, the main biochemical components, and antioxidant activities in vitro which included DPPH free radical scavenging capacity, the ferric reducing antioxidant power ( FRAP), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC ). The analytical results on the tea powders showed the UV absorption spectra of tea powder samples were similar, with two obvious absorption peaks at 210 nm and 274 nm wavelength. The contents of FAAs, CAF, GA and ECG exhibited the strongest and significant correlations with the UV absorbance of each tea powder at 274 nm. On the other hand, EGC and EC correlated inversely with the absorbance. The distribution of biochemical components of tea powder and the change of antioxidant activity in vitro were affected by membrane separation, among which, 20 kD ultrafiltration membrane had the greatest impaction. The tea powder prepared by 20 kD ultrafiltration membrane retentate of black teas had the highest antioxidant activity in vitro. While other teas had the highest antioxidant activity in the permeate portion of the 20 kD ultrafiltration membrane. The biochemical components and antioxidant activity in vitro vary among different types of teas, and the changes of which were not completely consistent during the membrane separation process. Among them, the 20 kD ultrafiltration membrane had the greatest influence on the distribution of each component and the largest change in antioxidant activity. The results could provide a scientific basis for the membrane separation of different types of teas.

    In order to explore the effect of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane pervaporation on the concentration of rose freeze-dried water, Rosa damascena was selected as the research object. Headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) were used. The volatile aroma components were analyzed, and the sensory properties and availability were evaluated by sensory analysis. The results showed that 54 kinds of aroma components were detected in the rose freeze-dried water, and the characteristic aroma components of rose, including phenylethyl alcohol, citronellol and geraniol, accounted for more than 90%, which had great utilization value. After two times of osmosis and concentration, the rose aroma was more intense and typical, and the content of benzene ring substances was significantly improved, showing that the total odor activity value of rose aroma substances increased by 20.47%. The sensory flavor profile analysis also showed similar results, and the proportion of floral flavor intensity value (M value) increased from 37% to 51%. The results were consistent with partial least squares regression (PLSR) validation analysis. It is found that the aroma intensity of rose freeze-dried water secondary penetrant is similar to that of the rose essence sold in the market, but still higher than that of the rose soda water sold in the market after 100 times dilution through sensory scale scoring method, and it had the potential to be used as a flavor enhancement in daily chemicals and beverages.

    Abstract:In this study, the longissimus dorsi muscle of Qinchuan cattle stored at 4 ℃ after slaughter was used as the object of study to determine quality indicators, energy levels and proteasome activity, and to identify DEPs associated with the proteasome. The results were as follows: pH decreased and then increased with increasing storage time; b* and MFI increased; L*, a*, centrifugal loss, cooking loss and shear force increased and then decreased; ATP, ADP and AMP the basic energy substances, decreased; 20S proteasome activity decreased significantly (P < 0.05); The correlation analysis showed that the 20S proteasome activity was significantly negatively correlated with b* (P < 0.05), with ADP content (P < 0.05), with AMP content (P < 0.01), and with MFI (P < 0.01), indicating a close relationship between proteasome activity and energy metabolism and beef quality. Combined with 4D-LFQ proteomics technology, eight differentially expressed proteasome subunits, and 27 associated DEPs were identified; GO analysis and KEGG Pathway analysis revealed that these proteasome subunits and their associated DEPs have molecular functions such as endopeptidase activity, actin binding, microfilament motility activity, and are involved in ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic metabolism, skeletal muscle contraction, In the early postmortem period, the proteasome regulated the biological pathway by consuming energetic material to catabolize proteins, and in the later period, when the energetic material was depleted, the proteasome could realize the catabolism of postmortem proteins through the energy provided by glycolysis and non-ATP-dependent proteasome subunits, which eventually affected the quality of Qinchuan beef.

The experiment selected 8-year-old 'Pinot Noir' grapes as the test material, 100% crushed grape branches (GB), 70% crushed grape branches + 30% sheep manure (GM1), 50% crushed grape branches + 50% sheep manure (GM2), 30% crushed grape branches + 70% sheep manure (GM3), 100% sheep manure (SM) made of compost fertilizer applied to the vineyard, and do not add the compost treatment (CK) as a control. One year after fertilization, the grape berries were taken to make wine, and the basic physical and chemical indexes of grapes and wine, phenolic substances, color and aroma substances in the wine were determined and the wine was sensory evaluated. The results showed that the compost treatment significantly increased the contents of alcohol, total phenols, total anthocyanins, total flavan-3-ols, and total flavonoids in Pinot Noir wines one year after the use of the compost, with the GM3 treatment showing the greatest increase in alcohol and titratable acid, by 16.5% and 24.03%, respectively. In terms of color the composting treatments both increase the color saturation of Pinot Noir wines. Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) of the aroma substances showed that the main differential aroma substance in Pinot Noir wines from different composting treatments was isoamyl alcohol, followed by ethyl acetate, 1-propanol, and phenylethanol, and that composting treatments with the addition of vineyard prunings increased the levels of ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl caproate, and ethyl caproate in Pinot Noir wines. In terms of sensory quality, the intensity of astringency, bitterness and sweetness of Pinot Noir wines was enhanced by composting treatment, and Pinot Noir wines were superior to non-fertilized treatment in terms of taste and balance. This study provides a theoretical basis for the comprehensive utilization of vineyard prunings waste and the improvement of wine quality.

    Aroma compounds in 2 Scottish Macallan malt whisky and 2 Japanese Yamazaki malt whisky were analyzed by headspace solid phase microextraction combined with high-performance gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ( HS-SPME / GC-MS ). The results showed esters, acids, and alcohols were the highest relative mass fractions of volatile compounds in whisky, with a mass fraction over 90%. Based on odor activity values, 58 aroma compounds were screened from the 243 volatile compounds, which were identified in 4 whisky. Phenylethyl acetate, acacia alcohol, and trans orange blossom tert alcohol in Scotch Macallan whisky give a higher OAV, presenting obvious floral aroma. In contrast, Japanese Yamazaki whisky give obvious fruit aroma, because of the higher OAV for ethyl isovalerate, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, and 1-decanol identified in these whisky. Two-dimensional hierarchial clustering analysis on these whiskies suggested that typical aroma compounds in Yamazaki whisky were 2-methylbutyrate ethyl ester, butyrate ethyl ester, and isovalerate ethyl ester. The results were different from the ones in Macallan whisky, where acacia alcohol, trans-orangeol tert alcohol, and damastone were identified. Additionally, the principal component analysis on aroma compounds confirmed the unique aroma characteristics for each whisky. This study suggested flavor characteristics is an important index for the evaluation of different whiskies.

    Egg liquid is widely used in egg product processing. At present, there are shortcomings in detecting the liquid eggs freshness, such as long time consumption, large sample limitations, and poor accuracy. Additionally, there is a lack of technology to detect the unknown liquid eggs compounding ratio. This article establishes a multi-index combined technology that mainly focuses on conductivity, supplemented by salinity, total dissolved solids, pH, and chromatic aberration, to quickly and efficiently detect the egg liquid freshness and compounding ratio. The results showed that the conductivity, salinity, total dissolved solids and pH of the egg solution at 4°C and 40% RH storage conditions for 0~45 d showed a significant trend of steady decrease, while the chromaticity aberration showed a trend of gradual increase. The tests showed that for freshness detection, the accuracy of the conductivity method was 91%, and the accuracy of the conductivity synergy test was 94%. Accordingly, the liquid egg freshness standards of AA, A, B and C grades were established for the first time. Grade AA liquid eggs were selected to detect the compound ratio with conductivity as the main index and salinity,total dissolved solids and pH as synergistic indexes.The results showed that the linearly fitted regression equations for conductivity, salinity, TDS and pH were all highly significantly correlated, unknown proportion of egg liquid can be detected based on regression equation. and the ExpAssoc model showed an average relative error of 8.87%, This model has high reliability in detecting the allocation ratio. In this way, this paper provides a theoretical basis for the detection of compounded egg liquid (freshness and compounding ratio), and provides a reference for practical application in the industrial production and processing of liquid eggs.

    In this study, non-targeted metabolomics method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography q exactive mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS) was used to explore the change in metabolite profile in Bactrian camel meat from different age groups. The results showed that a total of 710 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were identified in the longissimus dorsi muscle of camel meat from three age groups (3~4 years, 6~7 years, and 9~10 years; represented by I, II, and III, respectively); The number of DEMs was 78 in the I vs II comparison group, of which 47 were upregulated in group I and 31 were upregulated in group II; there were 49 DEMs in the II vs. III comparison group, of which 18 were upregulated in the II group and 31 were upregulated in the III group; in the same way, there were 65 DEMs in the I vs III comparison group, with 29 upregulated in group I and 36 upregulated in group III. The KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis results showed that DEMs were mainly enriched in related pathways such as protein and amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, vitamin and mineral metabolism, indicating that the digestion and metabolism of various nutrients in camels at different growth stages were different. The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (especially n-6 PUFA, n-3 PUFA) and the ratio of PUFA/UFA (Polyunsaturated fatty acid,PUFA;Unsaturated fatty acid, UFA) in group I were significantly higher than those in group III, which was mainly related to the significant increase of arachidonic acid, linoleic acid and 13-L-hydroperooleic acid concentrations in the related metabolic pathways; meanwhile, DEMs such as L-leucine, L-valine, and L-glutamine could be used as potential markers for evaluating the quality change of camel meat from different ages. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for understanding postmortem metabolism in camel muscle and for quality control of camel meat from different ages.
