Objective: The aim of this work was to determine the relationship between objective sensory descriptors and volatile flavour compound composition of Polish traditional dry-cured loin. Methods: The volatile compounds were investigated by using solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). For sensory assessment, the quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) method was used. Results: A total of 50 volatile compounds were found and assigned to 17 chemical families. Most of the detected volatile compounds derived from smoking, lipid oxidative reactions and seasoning (46.8%, 21.7%, and 18.9%, respectively). The dominant compounds were: aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene); alkanes (hexane, heptane, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane); aldehyde (hexanal); alcohol (2-furanmethanol); ketone (3-hydroxy-2-butanone); phenol (guaiacol); and terpenes (eucalyptol, cymene, ${\gamma}-terpinen$, and limonene). Correlation analysis showed that some compounds derived from smoking were positively correlated with the intensity of cured meat odour and flavour and negatively with the intensity of dried meat odour and flavour, while terpenes were strongly correlated with odour and flavour of added spices. Conclusion: The analysed dry-cured loins were characterized by specific and unique sensory profile. Odour and flavour of studied loins was mainly determined by volatile compounds originating from smoking, seasoning and lipid oxidation. Obtained results suggest that smoking process is a crucial stage during Polish traditional dry-cured loins production.

Solvent extract of homogenates of fresh garlic or pickled garlic was subjected to GC-MS analysis, which showed 30 volatile sulfur compounds for fresh garlic and 20 compounds for processed one. Maior sulfur compounds from fresh garlic extract were identified to be 3-vinyl-[4H]-1,2-dithiin, diallyl disulfide,3,4-dimethylthiophene and methyl allyl sulfide. Meanwhile, the number of volatile compounds from pickled garlic decreased gradually during storage. Diallyl disulfide, methyl allyl trisulfide and diallyl trisulfide were major volatile sulfur compounds from pickled garlic stored for 50 days. It is appeared that the amount of trisulfides in pickled garlic increased gradually during storage, in contrast to the amount of dithiins and monosulfides in pickled garlic decreased.

Volatile compounds in three different kinds of crude vinegars obtained from oak (Quercus serrata), bamboo (phyllostachys) and pine (Pinus densiflora) species were analyzed by the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method. A total of 264 peaks were detected on the chromatograms obtained from the polar (CBP 20) and the nonpolar (CBP 1) columns, which were used for analyzing the volatile compounds in these vinegars. The major volatile compounds identified by using the polar column were 2-butanone, acetic acid, guaiacol, phenol, cresols, 4-ethyl guaiacol, 4-ethyl phenol, and syringol. Using the nonpolar column, seven compounds could be identified: 1,2-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol, 1-hydroxy-2-butanone, 1-(2-furanyl)-1-propane, ethisolide, furfuryl acetate, 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, phenyl acetate. The volatile compounds were classified into five groups: phenols, neutral compounds, organic acids, esters and others. The phenols were the main component and comprised 49~65% of the volatile compounds of these vinegars. In the case of bamboo vinegar, the proportion of the phenols in the volatile compounds was lower than that of the two wood vinegars. However, the proportions of the neutral compounds and the organic acids were higher than those of the wood vinegars. Therefore, it seems that these differences of the proportions of the volatile compounds would make a certain difference of a smoke flavor between the bamboo vinegar and the wood vinegars.

Volatile compounds from shrimp whole body (SWB) and shrimp shell waste (SSW) were isolated, and identified by the combination of SDE (simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction), GC (gas chromatography, HP-5890 plus)and MSD (mass selective detecter) or olfactometry. The peak numbers isolated from SWB and SSW were 20 and 46, respectively. The amounts of the volatile compounds isolated from SSW were higher than those of SWB. SWB produced more low-boiling compounds below 7$0^{\circ}C$ and SSW did more high boiling compounds over 10$0^{\circ}C$. The volatile compounds identified from SSW were 9 pyrazines,5 acids,4 aldehydes, and 4 alcohols. These volatile compounds were evaluated by aroma extraction dilution analysis and gas chromatography olfactometry (GCO). Some compounds which were not detected by GC-FID and GC-MSD were found to be a strong shrimp flavor of log$_3$ FD 3 value by GCO. Strong shrimp odors were detected in low temperature while nutty aromatic odors and unpleasant oily smells were found in high temperature.

Volatile components in commercial pine needle (Pinus densiflora S. and Z.) powder were extracted using simultaneous steam distillation and a solvent extraction (SDE) apparatus, and were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 230 compounds divided into 13 groups were identified, which included alcohols (42), ketones (39), aldehydes (32), terpenes (30), alkenes (17), esters (14), furans (14), benzenes (10), alkanes (8), napthalenes (7), acids (6), miscellaneous compounds (6), and phenols (5). Among the 230 compounds identified, 96 compounds were positively confirmed and quantified, and the rest of the compounds were tentatively identified. The major volatile components identified at relatively high levels were dodecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, hexanal, benzaldehyde, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, 1-penten-3-one, limonene, and $\beta$-caryophyllene oxide. Among the groups, terpenes accounted for 60.18% of the total concentration of all the volatile components. Some volatile components might account for the unique aroma and the biological activity of the sample.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of an early post-mortem low voltage electrical stimulation (ES) to localized part of carcasses [m. longissimus lumborum (LL) and m. biceps femoris (BF)] and determined the tenderness and flavor compounds of Hanwoo steers (n=16). Carcasses were stimulated within 30 min post-mortem for 60s using 60 volts and muscles aged 2 and 14 d. Degradation of Troponin-T were accelerated by ES and degraded little faster in BF muscle than LL. Level of free amino acid content of stimulated and aged muscles was significantly (p<0.05) greater than control for both muscles. Totally 63 volatile compounds were identified by using SPME-GC. The ES treatment significantly (p<0.05) affected the level of 20 volatile compounds of LL as well 15 volatiles in BF muscle along with total amounts of ketones, sulfur containing, pyrazines and furans. Low voltage ES could be applied to reduce the aging time and improve volatile flavor development by increasing important desirable volatile compounds such as 2-methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazines and 2-acetylthiazole etc. due to released free amino acids from protein degradation.

In this study, we investigated to measured concentration, seasonal characteristics and load quantity of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) for 11 sites in the main stream and 8 sites in the branch stream of Kumho river, during from October 1995 to April 1997. As a results, the small amount of volatile compounds, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene, benzene, trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, p-xylene and 1,3,5-trimethyl-benzene were detected from the main stream of Kumho river. Also detected to dichloromethene, chloroform, toluene, benzene, trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, 1,3,5-trimethylbebzene and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene in the branch stream, and dichloromerhane, chloroform and toluene were detected to all site of sampling. And seasonal variation of volatile organic compounds showed higher concentration in the July 1996 as a winter season than January 1997 as a summer season in most places. Also the load quantity of volatile organic compound at Gangchang site in the last downstream of Kumho river, was in order of chloroform > dichloromethane > toluene > trichloroethene.

Changes in volatile organic compounds were investigated during storage after electron beam irradiation. Grapes were irradiated at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 kGy and stored for 1 month at $4^{\circ}C$. Butanol, hexanal, [E]-2-hexenal, hexanol, and 3-methyl-butanol were the major volatile organic compounds of grapes. The types of volatiles in irradiated grapes were similar to those of non-irradiated samples but concentration differed among treatments. Some volatile compounds decreased during storage, whereas others, especially the esters, increased. Concentration of most volatile compounds were higher in pre-stored grapes than in post-stored fruit (thus, during the 30 days after irradiation by e-beam). Consequently, concentration of volatile organic compounds either increased or decreased after e-beam irradiation but these changes did not correlate with irradiation dose.

This study was conducted to compare the volatile flavor compounds found in the leaves of 15 taxa of Korean native Chrysanthemum species. The volatile flavor compounds from the taxa were collected using a simultaneous steam distillation and extraction technique and were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass selective detector (GC/MSD). A total of 45 volatile flavor compounds were identified with six functional groups: 14 alcohols, 4 ketones, 19 hydrocarbons, 5 esters, 2 acids, and 1 aldehyde. The main functional group in 15 taxa of Chrysanthemum species was alcohols, accounting for 28.7% of volatile flavor compounds, followed by ketones (21.2%) and hydrocarbons (13.2%). Camphor, which is known for its antimicrobial properties, was the most abundant volatile compound (30%) in C. zawadskii ssp. latilobum and var. leiophyllum. In particular, C. indicum subspecies and C. boreale contained ${\alpha}$-thujone, which has outstanding anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, and anti-diabetic efficacies. C. indicum var. albescens could be used in perfumes, since it showed 21 times more camphene than C. indicum. In addition, C. indicum var. acuta contained a fairly high content of 1,8-cineole, which has an inhibitory effect on mutagenesis. C. lineare contained only pentadecanoic acid compounds, whereas other taxa hexadecanoic acids. Overall, the Korean native Chrysanthemum species had considerable variation in volatile flavor compounds in their leaves. This study provides a good indication of specific potential use for various applications.
