Effect of Ultra High Pressure Treatment on Aroma Compounds of Natto

Abstract

Abstract: The effect of ultra high pressure (UHP) treatment on the aromatic quality of natto was studied. Natto samples were treated at 200, 400 or 600 MPa for 10 min, and aromatic compounds were extracted by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that after UHP treatment, the types and contents of aroma compounds in natto had a significant change (P < 0.05). 2-Methyl-3-pentanone dropped to a undetectable level and another compounds such as hexanal and 2-pentyl furan were newly detected. The contents of ketones, esters and alcohols increased, while the contents of acids, aldehydes and pyrazines decreased. After UHP treatment at 400 MPa for 10 min, the contents of ketones, esters and alcohols revealed an increase by 13.11%, 117.29% and 46.91%, respectively; in contrast, the contents of acids, aldehydes and pyrazines exhibited a decrease by 50.59%, 90.92% and 16.17%, respectively. Following UHP treatment, more typical aroma of natto was achieved. The contents of acetic acid and benzene that have an unfavorable impact onthe aroma of natto revealed a significant reduction (P < 0.05).

Key words: natto, ultra high pressure (UHP) treatment, aroma compounds, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
