Abstract:

The volatile aroma composition is an important indicator to evaluate the quality of truffle. In order to explore
the difference in volatile aroma composition among different species of truffle, the aroma components in truffle were
investigated and classified by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatographymass
spectrometry (GC-MS), and the key volatile aroma components were judged by the relative odor activity value. The
results showed that 24 aroma compounds were identified from 6 species of truffle, including alcohols, ketones, aldehydes
and alkene. Five flavor compounds including 1-octen-3-ol, phenylacetaldehyde and (E)-2-octenal were common to all
the truffle species investigated. The key volatile aroma components of Tuber pseudoexcavatum were 1-octen-3-ol and
phenylacetaldehyde; those of Tuber aestivum were 1-octen-3-ol, phenylacetaldehyde, (E)-2-octenal, benzaldehyde and
hexanal; those of Tuber indicum Cooke et Massee and Tuber huidongense was 1-octen-3-ol; those of Tuber excavatum were
1-octen-3-ol, phenylacetaldehyde, (E)-2-octenal, hexanal and 3-octanone; those of Tuber borchii were 1-octen-3-ol, (E)-2-
octenal, and 3-octanone.
