Character impact odorants of high-heat skim milk powder isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction.
To identify the character impact odorant of high-heat skim milk powder (HHSMP), a comparative study using ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) milk was performed. Aroma concentrate was prepared by column adsorption combined with simultaneous distillation-extraction. Aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) revealed 58 aroma peaks with flavor dilution (FD) factors ranging from 10 to 3000; from these, 41 compounds were identified and 7 compounds were tentatively identified (FD factor > or = 300). Among these HHSMP and UHT milk components, methyl 2-methyl-3-furyl disulfide and bis(2-methyl-3-furyl) disulfide, which appeared to be generated during the processing of each product, were identified. When the results of the AEDA of both samples were compared, it was considered that the characteristic aroma of HHSMP was not explained by a single compound but instead formed from a mixture of several types of compounds contained in common with the UHT milk. The contribution of these compounds to the aroma of HHSMP was confirmed by an aroma simulation experiment.
Identification of the Volatile Components of Some Piedmontese Honeys
SummaryMultifloral and unifloral honeys produced in different years in Piedmont, Italy, were analysed for the components responsible for their flavours. Fifty-two volatile components were identified by capillary gas-liquid chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and are reported here. A comparison of 4 different techniques for extraction of honey volatiles is reported.
