Abstract:

A method for determining volatile compounds from irradiated yeast extract using headspace solid phase
microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed in this paper. The
results showed that 13 volatile compounds were detected from unirradiated yeast extract including 1 acid, 2 aldehydes, 2
alcohols, 1 alkene and 3 nitrogen compounds and the major compounds were acetic acid, indole and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol.
Totally 35 volatile compounds including 1 acid, 7 aldehydes, 2 alcohols, 4 alkenes, 2 ketones, 14 nitrogen compounds, 2
sulfur compounds, 1 ester and 2 benzenes were detected from irradiated yeast extract. The number and contents of volatile
compounds increased with increasing irradiation dosage.

Key words: yeast extract, headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), volatile compounds, irradiation
