Abstract

To characterize potent odor-active compounds in preserved egg yolk (PEY), volatile compounds were isolated by headspace solid-phase microextraction and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation. Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses identified a total of 53 odor-active compounds by comparing the odor characteristics, MS data, and retention indices with those of reference compounds. Twenty-seven odorants were detected in at least five isolates that were extracted and analyzed by the same method, and their flavor dilution (FD) factors, ranging from 1 to 2048, were measured by aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). To further determine their contribution to the overall aroma profile of PEY, 22 odorants with FD factors ≥16 and GC-MS responses were quantitated, and their odor activity values (OAVs) were calculated. According to the OAV results, 19 odorants with OAVs ≥ 1 are the potent odorants that greatly contribute to the characteristic aroma of PEY. Nine compounds were identified for the first time: (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (E)-2-nonenal, 2-methylbutanal, dimethyl disulfide, trimethylamine, methional, dimethyl trisulfide, diisopropyl disulfide, and diethyl disulfide.
