Relationship between sensory perception and flavour-active volatile compounds of germinated,sourdough fermented and native rye following the extrusion process

Relation between sensory profiles and flavour-active volatile compounds was explored on six rye extrudates, representing two rye cultivars (Amilo and Akusti) and three pretreatments (germination, sourdough fermentation and milling), prior to the extrusion cooking. The processing method used before the extrusion cooking was shown to be very decisive for the perception; the germinated, sourdough fermented and milled rye extrudates clustered to cultivar pairs according to their pretreatment on the regression plot including the whole sample set. Germinated, extruded rye was cereal and fresh in flavour, and hard in texture, and dimethyl sulphide and 2-methylbutanal were highly related to these sensory attributes. Sourdough fermented, extruded rye had a sour, intense flavour and aftertaste, and porous texture, the most relevant volatile compounds being furfural, ethyl acetate, 3-methylbutanol and 2-methylbutanol. The extrudates prepared from rye flour were very mild in flavour and somewhat tough in texture, and 2-ethylfuran, 2-methylfuran, hexanal and pentanal were the dominating volatile compounds.The present study clearly demonstrated the effect of processing on adjusting the flavour of rye. Sensory perception and volatile compounds of germinated, sourdough fermented, and native rye were substantially different, and they remained variable after the second treatment, i.e. the extrusion process. The pretreatment process was shown to be most dominant in the formation of the flavour of the rye extrudates. The rye cultivar had an unsubstantial effect on the sensory profiles.     

Effects of glucose and acid-hydrolysed vegetable protein on the volatile components of extruded wheat starch

The volatile components produced in wheat starch, and wheat starch combined with 1% glucose, 1% acid-hydrolysed vegetable protein (aHVP) or 1% glucose and 1% aHVP, extruded under different processing conditions (temperatures of 150 or 180 °C and moisture content of 16% or 20%) were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Gas chromatography olfactometry (GCO) was used to assess the odour intensity of volatile components present in the starch and starch/glucose/aHVP extrudates obtained at 180 °C. In total, 70 compounds were identified in the eight extrudates. The smallest number (24) was found in the extrudate of the starch/glucose mixture and the largest number (67) in the extrudate of the starch/glucose/aHVP mixture, both processed at 180 °C. Lipid degradation products, such as alkanals, 2-alkanones, 2-alkenals and 2,4-alkadienals, were present in all extrudates in significant quantities. However, in those extrudates containing aHVP, Strecker aldehydes were quantitatively the dominant components. Maillard reaction products, such as pyrroles and pyrazines, were only found in extrudates containing both glucose and aHVP whereas sulphur-containing aliphatic compounds were found in all extrudates containing aHVP. The production of the Maillard reaction products and sulphur-containing compounds were favoured by extrusion at 180 °C. Sensory analyses showed that each of the eight extrudates had different odours, and that the extrudates containing both glucose and aHVP possessed the highest overall odour intensity.     

Effects of soy protein isolate,acid-hydrolysed vegetable protein and glucose on the volatile components of extruded wheat starch

The volatile components produced in wheat starch containing 1% soy protein isolate (SPI), and wheat starch/1% SPI combined with 1% glucose, 1% acid-hydrolysed vegetable protein (aHVP), or 1% glucose and 1% aHVP, extruded under different processing conditions (temperatures of 150 or 180 °C and moisture content of 16% or 20%), were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Gas chromatography olfactometry (GCO) was used to assess the odour intensity of volatile components present in the starch/glucose/SPI and starch/glucose/SPI/aHVP extrudates obtained at 180 °C. In total, 94 compounds were identified in the eight extrudates. The smallest number (31) was found in the extrudate of the starch/glucose/SPI feedstock processed at 150 °C and the largest (64) in the extrudate of the starch/SPI feedstock processed at 180 °C. Lipid degradation products, such as alkanals, 2-alkanones, 2-alkenals and 2,4-alkadienals, were present in all extrudates in significant quantities. Strecker aldehydes were also present in all extrudates; however, in those extrudates containing aHVP, these compounds were quantitatively the dominant components. Maillard reaction products, such as pyrroles, pyrazines and oxazoles, were mainly found in extrudates containing aHVP whereas sulphur-containing aliphatic compounds were found in all extrudates. The production of the Maillard reaction products and sulphur-containing compounds was favoured by extrusion at 180 °C. Sensory analyses showed that each of the eight extrudates had different odours, and that the extrudates containing both glucose and aHVP possessed the highest overall odour intensity. In addition, SPI was found to have a modifying effect on the volatile content and odour of extrudates also containing glucose and aHVP.     

Improvement of beer flavour with extruded rice as adjunct

Extruded rice used as adjunct for beer fermentation was prepared using a single‐screw extruder. Extrusion pretreatment facilitated the saccharification and gelatinization of the rice starch as well as the formation of a glassy cellular structure, which was evaluated through scanning electron microscopy analysis. The effects of different parameters, including barrel temperature, water content, nozzle diameter and screw speed, as well as their interactions with rice expansion rate, were evaluated by response surface methodology to determine the optimum extrusion conditions. Extruded rice was acquired using the optimum extrusion parameters (water content, barrel temperature, screw speed and nozzle diameter of 22.4%, 103°C, 8 mm and 191.6 rpm, respectively), and the expansion rate reached 275.1%. The effect of the extruded rice adjunct on beer flavour compounds was investigated by comparing flavour compounds with those of traditional rice‐adjunct beer through sensitive static headspace–capillary gas chromatography spectrometry. The contents of esters, a highly important flavour group, in extruded‐rice‐adjunct beer (ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate and ethyl caprylate at 11.6, 2.4, 0.2 and 0.3 mg L⁻¹, respectively) were higher than those of the traditional rice‐adjunct beer. The contents of high alcohols were lower in the traditional rice‐adjunct beer than those in the extruded‐rice‐adjunct beer, but both levels satisfied the national standard for beer. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was employed to identify the flavour compounds of both beer samples through headspace–solid‐phase microextraction.

Cassava starch snack formulation using functional shell fish by‐products: mechanical,sorption and geometric properties

Utilisation of by‐products of the shrimp industry, namely shrimp head protein and chitosan, could lead to a functional snack with substantial market in Asia. Produced on a cassava starch base this would lead to a product with shrimp flavour and chitosan's lipid adsorption capacity. The characteristics of such a mixture with 82% deacetylated chitosan and salt was investigated by Rapid Visco Analyser and instrumental Texture Profile Analyser using the Doehlert Uniform Shell experimental design. Polynomial models explained more than 88% of variability of responses. A significant effect of salt, shrimp head proteins and chitosan was observed on cassava starch gelling characteristics. A corresponding heat and shear stress resistance ability was observed while there was a reduction in its specific swelling power. Snacks prepared in the form of chips and extruded product confirmed their good potential for added value to snack foods in respect of their 90–94% linear expansion ratio, up to 1.1 kg maximum breaking force and up to 4.5 radial expansion ratio. Adsorption isotherm of extrudates had a maximum water content target of 115 g kg^?1 dry matter at 25 °C for a later formulation and extrusion optimisation, in order to guarantee consumer texture acceptability. Corresponding shelf‐lives of extrudates were calculated at three storage conditions. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry     

Influence of the extrusion parameters on the physical properties of chickpea and barley extrudates

In this research, the effects of extrusion processing [exit-die temperature (120–150°C), moisture content (20–24% wet basis), and screw speed (260–340 rpm)] on the specific mechanical energy and physical properties (expansion ratio, bulk density, and hardness) of desi chickpea and hullless barley extrudates were estimated using response surface methodology. Exit-die temperature and feed moisture content, as well as the interaction between them were the factors that affected the product responses the most. Significant correlation was found between the hardness and bulk density (positive), hardness and expansion ratio (negative), and bulk density and expansion ratio (negative) for both chickpea and barley extrudates. Desirable characteristics (high expansion, low bulk density, and hardness) for chickpea were obtained at high exit-die temperature, relatively high moisture, and high screw speed. As for the barley extrudates, high exit-die temperature, low moisture, and moderate to high screw speed were identified as optimal.     

Distribution of volatile compounds in lean and subcutaneous fat tissues during processing of dry fermented sausages

The distribution of volatile compound among lean and fat tissues during processing of dry fermented sausages manufactured with either nitrite or nitrate was studied. Twelve volatile compounds were quantified by multiple headspace solid-phase microextraction (multiple HS-SPME) in combination with gas chromatography and mass selective detector (GC–MS) in the lean and fat tissues. The lean tissue contained the highest amount of volatile compounds derived from the lipid oxidation process (heptanal, octanal, nonanal, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-pentanone and 2-heptanone), amino acid degradation reactions (2 and 3-methylbutanal) and esterase activity (ethyl 3-methylbutanoate and ethyl hexanoate). However, the compounds pentanal and hexanal showed similar concentration in both tissues. Few differences were observed in the concentration of volatile compounds due to curing agents throughout the ripening stages although they disappeared after vacuum storage. In conclusion, the main tissue contributing to the flavour development in sausages is the intramuscular fat and the protein fraction. However, the fat tissue contributes to flavour perception due to the solubilization of volatile compounds in it.     

Selected Physical Properties of Expanded Extrudates from the Blends of Hazelnut Flour-Durum Clear Flour-Rice

Blends of durum clear flour, partially defatted hazelnut flour (PDHF) and rice grit were extruded through a single-screw extruder to form expanded products. The extrudates were analyzed for physical properties, namely radial expansion ratio, colour, and instrumental texture. The radial expansion ratios measured for all the extruded samples ranged between 3–4.5. Breaking strengths of the extrudates varied between 0.387–0.854 N mm^?2. The measured values of the colour parameters of extruded blends varied in the range from 48.72–72.24 for lightness (L), 1.95–5.79 for redness (a), and 13.79–15.26 for yellowness (b).

Enhancement of volatile aromatic compounds in black raspberry wines via enzymatic treatment

Robus coreanus Miquel is widely used in the production of Korean black raspberry (KBR) wine owing to its health benefits and commercial value. The effects of three different commercially available glycosidase enzymes on the volatile compounds in KBR wines were investigated with large‐scale fermentation to develop a high‐flavour‐quality wine. Volatile aroma compounds from the wines were analysed using headspace‐solid phase micro‐extraction‐gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS‐SPME‐GC–MS) and sensory evaluations were performed to evaluate the flavour characteristics. KBR wines treated with commercial enzymes yielded high concentrations of terpenes and esters compared with the control wine because the odourless non‐volatile glycosides in KBR wines were converted to their corresponding free forms by the enzymes. HS‐SPME‐GC–MS‐SIM analysis showed that the primary monoterpene compounds in KBR wines treated by the enzymes were myrtenol, linalool, citronellol and a significant quantity of compounds such as 2‐phenyl ethanol and ethyl benzoate, which contributed to the flavour of KBR wine, as determined by GC‐FID. KBR wines treated with the enzymes exhibited different sensory characteristics from the control wine owing to higher intensity of floral and fruity aromas. KBR wine treated with CYTOLASE PCL5 on a large scale exhibited the highest sensory preference. Copyright © 2017 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling     

Extrusion of mixtures of starch and d-limonene encapsulated with β-cyclodextrin: Flavour retention and physical properties

d-Limonene was encapsulated with β-cyclodextrin to improve its retention during pre-added flavour starch extrusion. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of processing condition on the flavour retention and extrudate properties. Corn starch containing five levels of β-cyclodextrin-d-limonene capsules (0–5%) were extruded at five different maximum barrel temperatures (133–167 °C) and screw speeds (158–242 rpm) using a twin screw extruder. The effect of these parameters on the flavour retention, expansion, texture, colour difference (ΔE), Water Absorption Index, Water Solubility Index, and residence time distribution (RTD) were investigated. Barrel temperature and capsule level predominantly influenced flavour retention and extrudate properties, while screw speed primarily affected extruder performances such as torque, die pressure, specific mechanical energy and RTD.     

Aroma Extract Dilution Analysis of Aged Cheddar Cheese

Volatile compounds were isolated from 3-yr-old Cheddar cheese by molecular distillation. They were analyzed by aroma extract dilution analysis, a combination of gas chromatography and olfactometry that reveals the aroma volatiles with the highest odor potency (the highest ratio of concentration to odor threshold). The identified compounds with highest odor potency were listed in order of elution on a DB-wax capillary column. Their potencies and retention indices (in parentheses) were: ethyl acetate (3, 882), 2-methylbutanal and 3-methylbutanal (81, 899), diacetyl (3, 960), α-pinene (3, 989) ethyl butyrate (243, 1018), ethyl caproate (81, 1218), l-octen-3-one (9, 1284), acetic acid (27, 1418), methional (9, 1428), propionic acid (81,1517), butyric acid (729, 1616), valeric acid (27, 1736), caproic acid (81, 1845) capric acid (9, 2198) and lauric acid (9, 2580).     

Ascorbic Acid Fortification Reduces Anthocyanins in Extruded Blueberry-Corn Cereals

ABSTRACT: Corn meal was mixed with ascorbic acid (0%, 0.1%, and 1%, wt/wt) and sucrose (15%) or lowbush blueberry concentrate (17%), and twin-screw extruded to produce ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. Consumers evaluated selected samples using just-right scales. Extrusion decreased anthocyanins in blueberry cereals; ascorbic acid was retained better in cereals containing blueberry concentrate than in the sweetened corn cereals. Blueberry concentrate decreased expansion ratio and increased bulk density. Based on sensory scores, blueberry extrudates with 0.1% ascorbic acid could be acceptable if sweetness is increased.     

Key aroma volatile compounds of gulupa (Passiflora edulis Sims fo edulis) fruit

By application of the aroma extract dilution analysis of gulupa (Passiflora edulis Sims fo edulis), fruit pulp extract obtained by solvent-assisted flavour extraction, and also comparison of chromatographic, spectroscopic (mass spectrum), and odour properties with standards, β-ionone, γ-nonalactone, ethyl butanoate, and ethyl cinnamate were identified as volatiles exhibiting the highest flavour dilution (FD) factor. Among the nineteen odour-active compounds of gulupa, only those showing the highest FD factors were quantified by stable isotope dilution assay. After calculation of odour activity values (OAVs; ratio of concentration to odour threshold in water), ethyl butanoate, ethyl hexanoate, and β-ionone were identified as key aroma compounds in gulupa, responsible for the fruity and floral odour notes.     

Effect of the extrusion process on allergen reduction and the texture change of soybean protein isolate-corn and soybean flour-corn mixtures

Soy protein and corn meal are widely used as main ingredients in the cereal and snack industries. We studied the effect of extrusion processing on the immunoreactivity of proteins in soy protein isolate-corn meal (SPI-corn) blends and soy flour-corn meal (SF-corn) blends using a full-factorial design with two levels of temperature, moisture, and screw speed (SS). The changes in protein solubility, protein secondary structure and physical properties, such as the expansion ratio, specific volume, water hydration capacity (WHC), texture, and color, were also studied. The western blotting results illustrated that extrusion processing decreased the immunoreactivity of proteins in SPI-corn and SF-corn blends and eliminated certain allergenic proteins in SF-corn extrudates. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results indicated that different extrusion conditions decreased the immunoreactivities of SPI-corn and SF-corn blends in the ranges of 53%–68% and 80%–86%, respectively, compared with the raw material. The protein solubility decreased after extrusion by >58.7% for SPI-corn extrudates and by 66.3% for SF-corn extrudates compared with the initial materials and decreased significantly for both SPI-corn and SF-corn extrudates with the increase in extrusion temperature (P < 0.05). The α-helix structure decreased and β-strand structure increased after extrusion for both SPI-corn and SF-corn blends. Higher moisture significantly decreased the expansion ratio, specific volume and WHC of SPI-corn and SF-corn extrudates, as well as increased the energy required to cut the samples. Thus, the effect of extrusion on allergenic proteins using the human plasma of subjects allergic to soybean and corn showed that moisture had a clear effect on their reduction. Product treated with low moisture (20%), regardless of the starting material used, was the most effective based on the reduction of allergenic proteins.     

Effect of lactic acid bacterial fermentation on amino acids and volatile compounds of pork trimming hydrolysate

The objective of this research was to improve the volatile flavour profile of a pork trimming hydrolysate by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. Five probiotic strains and one dairy strain were used. The dominant aliphatic aldehydes (80.90%) in the unfermented hydrolysate were greatly reduced to <15% by converting into respective carboxylic acids and alcohols after fermentation. Strain GG was the only LAB that produced a significant level of succinic acid (1.62 mg mL⁻¹) and ketones (14.92%) (mainly diacetyl and acetoin) in the hydrolysate. Strains 299V and GG showed moderate proteolytic activities as their amino acid content reduced to 126.05 and 219.14 mg per 10 mL compared to the control (316.45 mg per 10 mL) after fermentation, respectively. However, little amino acid-derived volatiles were found in all fermented samples. These findings indicate that LAB fermentation modulates the flavour compounds of pork hydrolysates, which has the potential to be developed to novel flavouring materials.     

Use of sesame oil cake (Sesamum indicum L.) on corn expanded extrudates

In the production of oil from sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seeds, a coproduct is obtained which is rich in protein and fiber contents. Mixtures of semi-defatted sesame cake (SDSC) (0–20%) and corn grits were processed in a single screw extruder at screw speed ranging from 324 to 387 rpm to improve the nutritional value of corn expanded extrudates. Chemical composition of raw and extruded materials, sectional expansion index (SEI), texture properties, color, paste viscosity, microstructure and sensory analysis of the extrudates were performed. The addition of SDSC increased protein, fat and ash content of corn extrudates, whereas carbohydrate content was reduced. The addition of SDSC reduced the sectional expansion of the corn extrudates and increased puncture force. SDSC–corn extrudates were darker than non-SDSC–corn extrudates. Increasing SDSC increased the number of cells similar to those of commercial corn extrudates with small cells. Sensory analysis showed 20% SDSC-corn extrudates to be acceptable and nutritional balanced. The use of SDSC on corn extrudates up to 20% is an alternative to improve nutritional value keeping good sensory characteristics.

Extrusion cooking of barley flour and process parameter optimization by using response surface methodology

BACKGROUND: The nutritional profile of barley places it in a prime position for development of a new extruded–expanded snack food with health benefits. It was therefore the aim to investigate the effect of extrusion processing variables on system parameters (specific mechanical energy, die pressure and die melt temperature) and physical properties (expansion, bulk density, texture and color) of barley flour extrudates and to optimize processing conditions for production of extruded snack food from barley flour by response surface methodology. RESULTS: Barley flour with 219.7 g kg^?1 moisture content was extruded at different die temperatures (140–160 °C) and screw speeds (150–200 rpm) through a co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder. The system parameters as well as product responses were mainly dependent on temperature, whereas the screw speed imparted a lesser effect. Extrudates produced under extrusion conditions of 160 °C, 150 and 200 rpm and at 164 °C and 150 rpm had higher preference levels of appearance, taste, texture and overall acceptability than that of other selected extrudates for sensory analysis. The optimal conditions for minimum bulk density and desired textural characteristics and color of extrudates correspond to a temperature of 156 °C and screw speed of 166 rpm. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that use of barley flour in extruded snack products offers a desirable variation in diet and can take advantage of the nutritional quality of barley.

Evaluation of three gas chromatography-olfactometry methods: comparison of odour intensity-concentration relationships of eight volatile compounds with sensory headspace data

Three gas chromatography–olfactometry methods, i.e. dilution analysis, detection frequency method and posterior intensity method, were evaluated for attribution of odour potency to eight volatile compounds at seven concentration levels. Six serial 1:5 dilutions of a solution consisting of 2-butanone, diacetyl, ethyl acetate, 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl butyrate, hexanal, 2-heptanone, α-pinene in pentane were analysed by gas chromatography-olfactometry. In addition, sensory odour intensity of sunflower oil solutions of the compounds at eight concentration levels were determined and related to their headspace concentrations. Posterior intensities correlated reasonably well with sensory odour intensities. Detection frequency data were also highly correlated, whereas dilution analysis led to more diverting results. A large variance among subjects was observed. Therefore, a group of assessors is considered a prerequisite for reliable gas chromatography-olfactometry analysis.
