Abstract:

Volatile compounds in sweet flour paste in the early period of fermentation at different temperatures were extracted using head space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) apparatus and analyzed by GC-MS. Results showed that increased fermentation temperature could result in a gradual decrease in the contents of esters, alcohols and acids, and gradual increase in the content of aldehydes. The highest contents of ketones and phenols were observed at the fermentation temperature of 40 ℃. However, less species of volatile compounds was identified in sweet flour paste prepared by low-temperature fermentation. Based on the comprehensive analysis of pH, total acids, amino nitrogen and reducing sugars, the optimal fermentation temperature in the early stage was 40 ℃.

Key words: sweet flour paste, fermentation temperature, volatile component, physico-chemical index, HS-SPME, GC-MS
