- Abstract
The volatile profiles of wheat flour during maturation were examined through headspace solid-phase micro-extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) combined with electronic nose (E-nose) and electronic tongue (E-tongue) analyses. The wheat flour underwent maturation under three distinct conditions for predetermined durations. While GC/MS coupled with E-tongue exhibited discernment capability among wheat flour samples subjected to varying maturation conditions, E-nose analysis solely relying on principal component analysis failed to achieve discrimination. 83 volatile compounds were identified in wheat flour, with the highest abundance observed in samples matured for 50 d at 25 °C. Notably, trans-2-Nonenal, decanal, and nonanal were the main contributors to the characteristic flavor profile of wheat flour. Integration of HS-SPME-GC/MS with E-tongue indicated superior flavor development and practical viability in wheat flour matured for 50 d at 25 °C. This study furnishes a theoretical groundwork for enhancing the flavor profiles of wheat flour and its derivative products., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
