Abstract
In this study, volatile compounds and α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs), such as glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO), and diacetyl (DA), were analyzed in Arabica coffee prepared from Arabica green coffee beans presoaked in six organic acid solutions. The ratio of volatile compounds in samples was 18.06 to 0.6 (peak area of each peak/peak area of internal standard). Succinic acid pretreated Arabica had the highest concentration of volatile compounds, 128.9% higher than without pretreatment. The level of total α-DCs ranged from 12.90 to 100.32 μg/mL. Detected levels of GO, MGO, and DA ranged from 0.81 to 7.74, from 18.53 to 89.08, and from 0.43 to 6.74 μg/mL, respectively. Organic acid pretreatment increased the amounts of volatile compounds and lowered the concentrations of α-DCs compared to without pretreatment. The results obtained in this study would be useful for increasing the flavor of Arabica coffee and decreasing α-DCs.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
