Abstract
To comprehensively investigate the flavor characteristics of Shanyao yogurt, headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) techniques were employed to analyze volatile flavor compounds(VFCs) in Shanyao yogurts fermented with Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum. The findings of the two techniques revealed variations in both components and concentrations of VFCs in the same sample. HS-SPME-GC-MS exhibited excellent performance in detecting acidic substances, while HS-GC-IMS demonstrated advantages in analyzing ester substances. Only 4 compounds were identified by both methods in Shanyao yogurt fermented by L. plantarum; whereas 7 compounds were identified by both methods in Shanyao yogurt fermented by L. rhamnosus. This research underscored the benefits of employing diverse analytical techniques for studying yogurt samples, as integrating multiple approaches provided a more comprehensive understanding of VFCs in Shanyao yogurt, thereby offering robust support for investigating VFCs in similar products.
期刊介绍:
Separation sciences, in all their various forms such as chromatography, field-flow fractionation, and electrophoresis, provide some of the most powerful techniques in analytical chemistry and are applied within a number of important application areas, including archaeology, biotechnology, clinical, environmental, food, medical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, polymer and biopolymer research. Beyond serving analytical purposes, separation techniques are also used for preparative and process-scale applications. The scope and power of separation sciences is significantly extended by combination with spectroscopic detection methods (e.g., laser-based approaches, nuclear-magnetic resonance, Raman, chemiluminescence) and particularly, mass spectrometry, to create hyphenated techniques. In addition to exciting new developments in chromatography, such as ultra high-pressure systems, multidimensional separations, and high-temperature approaches, there have also been great advances in hybrid methods combining chromatography and electro-based separations, especially on the micro- and nanoscale. Integrated biological procedures (e.g., enzymatic, immunological, receptor-based assays) can also be part of the overall analytical process.
