Changes in the volatility of selected flavor compounds in the presence of nonvolatile food matrix components were studied using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with GC-MS quantification. Time-dependent adsorption profiles to the SPME fiber and the partition coefficients between different

Free medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) can negatively influence the fermentation process and taste quality in alcoholic beverages. Ethyl hexanoate is important in providing a fruit-like flavour to drinks, particularly in Japanese sake. In this study, we developed a direct injection
Alexandre Juteau-Vigier et al.
Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 55(9), 3577-3584 (2007-04-11)
Aroma compound properties in food matrices, such as volatility and diffusivity, have to be determined to understand the effect of composition and structure on aroma release and perception. This work illustrates the use of mass transfer modeling to identify diffusion
