Application


  • The enhancement of flowery-like aroma in green tea under optimized processing conditions by sensory-directed flavor analysis.: This study explores the enhancement of the flowery-like aroma in green tea through optimized processing, utilizing sensory-directed flavor analysis. Decanal is identified as a key aroma component contributing to this desirable characteristic (Wang Y et al., 2024).

  • (14)C-Isotope Use to Quantify Covalent Reactions between Flavor Compounds and β-Lactoglobulin.: This paper quantifies covalent reactions between flavor compounds, such as decanal, and β-lactoglobulin using (14)C-isotope labeling, providing insights into flavor stability and interaction in food matrices (Shepelev I et al., 2024)
