New insight on the genesis and fate of odor-active compounds in vanilla beans (Vanilla planifolia G. Jackson) during traditional curing

Green vanilla beans were subjected to the traditional curing process in Mexico. Odor-active potential from beans including 23 compounds was monitored through the analysis of both free and glucosidically bound volatiles. 8 of them were aliphatic aldehydes, acids, alcohol and ketone. 15 molecules were shikimate derivatives in which 13 were detected in glucosylated form. Some glucosides were efficiently hydrolyzed while some others partly or not at all after 90 days of curing. Moreover kinetics of hydrolysis of glucosides were not the same. A major part of glucovanillin was hydrolyzed at the first stages of curing while some other glucosides at the advanced stages. Data support hypothesis that hydrolysis of glucosides during curing is rather enzymatic origin than chemical one. Free shikimate derivatives or those liberated from glucosides are prone to chemical or enzymatic interconversions leading to a significant change in the aroma profile of cured vanilla.     

基于感官导向的香荚兰特征风味物质分析及重构

采用顶空固相微萃取结合气相色谱-质谱联用法分析香荚兰提取物挥发性香气成分组成。以感官为导向,利用嗅觉阈值、香气活性值（odour active value,OAV）及香气重组实验研究香荚兰提取物特征风味物质并进行重构。结果表明,香荚兰提取物中共检出83种香气成分,与香荚兰提取物特征风味密切相关的奶香、甜香、酸香、膏香、焦香、豆香和辛香香韵特征成分共有34种。基于OAV判断香兰素、4-(乙氧基甲基)苯酚、愈创木酚、乙酸、4-乙烯基愈创木酚、香草醇乙醚等14种化合物为香荚兰提取物特征风味的关键贡献成分。14种关键贡献成分的重组样品具有香荚兰样的奶香、甜香、烟熏香和酸香,香荚兰特征香气风格辨识度明显,与香荚兰特征风味天然香原料的感官相似度达92.33%。香兰素、4-(乙氧基甲基)苯酚、愈创木酚、乙酸、4-乙烯基愈创木酚、香草醇乙醚、乳酸乙酯等14种化合物被鉴定为香荚兰特征风味物质,可作为香荚兰特征风味天然香原料质控的关键指标,也可为复配重构香荚兰特征风味添加剂提供物质基础。

Investigation on the Effect of Condensing Moisture before Heating Air on the Performance of a Batch Tray Dryer: Application to the Drying of Vanilla

This article presents the results of an investigation of the effect of pre-dehumidifying the drying air before it is heated and supplied into a batch tray dryer. Dehumidification is achieved through moisture condensation as the air flowing through a coil is cooled by chilled water from a cold source. As an example, this process is applied to the drying of vanilla and is based on a numerical method already validated by former results. Then, it is established through comparisons with a conventional batch tray dryer model that pre-dehumidification significantly reduces drying time. Furthermore, preheating air by an intermediate heating source reduces total energy consumption of the primary heating system to a level depending on the preset drying temperature. As regards batch tray dryer design and optimization purposes, these results open up particularly interesting heating and cooling sources utilization prospects.

Quantification and characterisation of polyphenol oxidase from vanilla bean

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of Vanilla planifolia Andrews beans was extracted and purified through ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis, and gel filtration chromatography. PPO activity was measured by improved UV technique using 4-methylcatechol and catechol as substrates increasing substantial sensitivity of previous procedure. The optimum pH and temperature for PPO activity were found to be 3.0 and 3.4 and 37 °C, respectively. K_m and V_max values were found to be 10.6 mM/L and 13.9 OD₃₀₀ min⁻¹ for 4-methylcatechol and 85 mM/L and 107.2 OD₃₀₀ min⁻¹ for catechol. In an inhibition test, the most potent inhibitor was found to be 4-hexylresorcinol followed by ascorbic acid. The thermal inactivation curve was biphasic. Activation energy (E_a) and z values were calculated as 92.10 kJ mol⁻¹ and 21 °C, respectively.     

Comparison of headspace-SPME-GC–MS and LC–MS for the detection and quantification of coumarin,vanillin, and ethyl vanillin in vanilla extract products

A headspace-solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) GC–MS method has been developed for the determination of coumarin, vanillin and ethyl vanillin in vanilla products. Limits of detection ranged from 1.33 to 13.2 ng mL⁻¹. Accuracy and precision data for the method were measured and compared to those obtained using LC-ESI-MS. A survey of 24 commercially available vanilla products was completed using both techniques. No coumarin was detected in any of the samples. Examination of the GC–MS chromatograms revealed the presence of 18 other flavor related compounds in the samples. The method validation and sample analysis data using HS-SPME-GC–MS were comparable to those obtained using the LC–MS method. Because the two methods are conceptually different from one another, both methods would not be subject to the same interferences. This would allow them to be used as confirmatory methods for each other.
