This study compared the effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UE), Soxhlet extraction (SE), and steam distillation (SD) on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and flavor profiles of Piper nigrum L. varieties (Vietnamese pepper, VP; Kampot pepper, KP; Dapo pepper, DP). Using electronic nose, GC-MS, and UPLC analyses, UE showed superior retention of VOC diversity and aromatic complexity, while SE maximized piperine retention (e.g., 4551.35 mg/100 g in VP). SD reduced inter-varietal flavor differences, homogenizing volatile characteristics. Despite methodological variations, key aromatic traits of pepper varieties remained distinguishable. KP processed via UE exhibited the highest terpene content (2503.22 mg/100 g), highlighting its aromatic potential. GC-MS data enabled accurate classification of extraction-based flavor profiles via orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. Nine odorants were identified using odor activity value (OAV) and variable importance in projection (VIP). This study provides insight into method-driven flavor differentiation, VOC characterization, and guides strategies for pepper product development.

Dyslipidemia is considered a crucial risk factor for high risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Cumin and coriander seeds are well-known flavoring agents that contain nutraceutical properties and appear to have beneficial health effects. A study was therefore conducted to investigate the effects of cumin and coriander seeds on body weight, abdominal fat and lipid profile in rats.

The esterase gene encoding EstJN1 of Clostridium butyricum, which was isolated from the pit cellar of Chinese liquor facility, was expressed. EstJN1 was identified as a novel GDSL esterase belonging to family II. The enzyme demonstrated a marked substrate preference for p-nitrophenyl butyrate, with optimal activity at a temperature of 40 ℃ and a pH of 7.

The current work aimed to investigate the effects of fermentation of , , and on the physicochemical, electronic sensory evaluation, and flavour characteristics of heat-sterilized tomato juice (HTJ). The results indicated that LAB fermentation significantly decreased the pH, sucrose, and glucose, and lactic acid was increased. E-nose and tongue analyses revealed that the response to organic sulfides, terpenoids, and sourness increased after LAB fermentation HS-SPME-GC-MS and OAV revealed that heat-sterilization resulted a significant loss of aroma compounds (38.

Unlabelled: Soy whey, a tofu production byproduct rich in nutrients, is typically discarded. This study investigated five natural lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from spontaneously fermented soy whey (FSW) for their fermentation performance in soy whey medium. The growth characteristics, total phenols and flavonoids compounds, antioxidant activities, and aroma profiles were evaluated.

Unlabelled: A complex enzyme mixture of papain, neutral protease, and flavor protease was used to treat sesame meal at 50 °C for 3 h, yielding four peptide fractions (PF) with distinct molecular weight distributions of PF1 (> 10 kDa), PF2 (3-10 kDa), PF3 (1-3 kDa), and PF4 (< 1 kDa). and xylose were added to peptide mixtures heated to 120 °C in an oil bath for 120 min to form Maillard reaction product (MRP). PF4 peptides (< 1 kDa) had a substantial impact on pH, color, and browning intensity, whereas PF3 peptides (1-3 kDa) improved the meat-like flavor, mouth fullness, and umami taste.
