Abstract
The impact of hot-air drying (HA) and microwave-hot-air drying (MHA) on aroma components and free amino acids (FAAs) in wheat germ (WG) were investigated.
It was found that drying treatment improved the rancidity odor of WG, and MHA is better than HA. A total of 56 volatile compounds were identified in WG following different treatments, with 20 compounds identified as key differential compounds, and 13 key compounds were further screened based on the relative odor activity value (ROAV) > 1. Compared with HA, MHA accelerated the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes in WG, resulting in a more intense aroma and enhanced freshness and sweetness, but with an increase in bitter amino acids. Glutamic acid (Glu) exhibited a negative correlation with five aroma substances, while lysine (Lys) and arginine (Arg) were significantly negatively correlated with six and four aroma substances, respectively. The above results indicate that 2 types of drying have an impact on WG flavours, these findings offer valuable insights for the development and utilization of wheat germ, providing a reference for further exploration in this field.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals - members of the Poaceae family and starchy pseudocereals - members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.
