Effects of ultrasound and ultra-high pressure pretreatments on volatile and taste compounds of vacuum-freeze dried strawberry slice was written by Wang, Chao;Zhang, Lihui;Qiao, Yu;Liao, Li;Shi, Defang;Wang, Jun;Shi, Liu. And the article was included in LWT–Food Science and Technology in 2022.Category: esters-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:
The influences of ultra-high pressure (UHP), ultrasound (US) and their combination (UHP-US) assisted vacuum-freeze drying on volatile and taste compounds of strawberry slices were analyzed by GC-MS, HS-GC-IMS, HPLC, E-tongue as well as sensory anal. Three pretreatments of vacuum-freeze dried strawberry slices could increase the concentrations of characteristic volatile compounds (hexanoates and 2,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy-3(2H)-furanone), especially UHP-US (P < 0.05) sample, the increase of compounds associated with floral, fruity and sweet notes. Meanwhile, these pretreatments would ameliorate the taste of dried strawberry slices, individual sugars (glucose and fructose) increased, while the organic acids (malic acid and citric acid) contents decreased, which was consistent with the result of E-tongue. On the other hand, the taste of US sample was better than other samples, the glucose and fructose content (sweetness) of US sample increased by 19.42%, 23.51%, resp., whereas the malic acid content (sourness) was decreased for 5.03%. All in all, US pretreatment would help to better improve the critical flavors for vacuum-freeze dried strawberry slices. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 5-Hexyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (cas: 706-14-9Category: esters-buliding-blocks).
5-Hexyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (cas: 706-14-9) belongs to esters. Esters are also usually derived from carboxylic acids. It may also be obtained by reaction of acid anhydride or acid halides with alcohols or by the reaction of salts of carboxylic acids with alkyl halides. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
