Article Abstract
E-jiao (Colla Corii Asini, CCA) has been widely used as a healthy food and Chinese medicine. Although authentic CCA is characterized by its typical sweet and neutral fragrance, its aroma components have been rarely investigated. This work investigated the aroma-active components and antioxidant activity of 19 CCAs from different geographical origins. CCA extracts obtained by simultaneous distillation and extraction were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and sensory analysis. The antioxidant activity of CCAs was determined by ABTS and DPPH assays. A total of 65 volatile compounds were identified and quantified by GC-MS and 23 aroma-active compounds were identified by GC-O and aroma extract dilution analysis. The most powerful aroma-active compounds were identified based on the flavor dilution factor and their contents were compared among the 19 CCAs. Principal component analysis of the 23 aroma-active components showed 3 significant clusters. Canonical correlation analysis between antioxidant assays and the 23 aroma-active compounds indicates strong correlation (r = 0.9776, p = 0.0281). Analysis of aroma-active components shows potential for quality evaluation and discrimination of CCAs from different geographical origins.

Lemon is widely valued for its bioactive components and unique flavor, which are influenced by diverse volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This study implemented flavoromics, a comprehensive profiling of flavor, combining non-volatile flavor with E-nose, HS-SPME-GC--MS, HS-GC-IMS, relative odor activity value (ROAV), and multivariate statistical analysis to systematically characterize the aroma profiles of five lemon varieties (Rough lemon, Key lime, Eureka lemon, Tahiti lime, and Rosso lemon). A total of 44 and 50 VOCs were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS, respectively.

To investigate the effect of infection severity on the flavor characteristics of Petit Manseng noble rot wine, this study analyzed wines produced from Petit Manseng grapes grown in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain, Ningxia, China. The grapes were categorized into three groups based on infection status: uninfected, mildly infected, and severely infected with . Headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and an electronic nose were employed to detect and analyze the aroma components of wines under the three infection conditions.

In this study, color difference analysis, headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection were employed to systematically evaluate the effects of three withering methods-natural withering, sunlight withering (SW), and warm-air withering (WW)-as well as different withering durations (1-4 h), on the active components and appearance quality of mulberry leaf tea. The results demonstrated that, compared with other withering treatments, WW induced more pronounced changes in color, resulted in a higher tea polyphenols content, and more effectively preserved non-volatile compounds. In contrast, SW was associated with a higher total flavonoid content.

The albino tea cultivars represented by 'Baiye 1', characterized by their naturally enriched amino acid content and reduced polyphenol levels, exhibit distinctive sweet and umami flavors along with honey-like aromas, characteristics that are uncommon in traditional black teas. Nevertheless, the metabolic transformations underlying these superior sensory qualities during processing remain insufficiently understood. Here, UPLC-HRMS and HS-SPME-GC-MS/MS were employed to analyze non-volatile and volatile compounds respectively during 'Baiye 1' black tea (BYBT) processing.

Vibrational spectroscopy, including Raman and near-infrared techniques, enables the non-destructive evaluation of starch gelatinization, head rice yield, and aroma-active volatile compounds in parboiled rice subjected to varying soaking and drying conditions. Raman and NIR spectra were collected for rice samples processed under different conditions and integrated with reference analyses to develop and validate partial least squares regression and artificial neural network models. The optimized PLSR model demonstrated strong predictive performance, with R values of 0.
