The objective of this study was to identify the volatile compounds and aroma-active compounds from acai berry (Euterpe oleracea). Volatiles were isolated by high vacuum distillation using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and liquid-liquid continuous extraction (LLCE). To identify the characteristic aroma-active compounds of acai berry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry was used. Aroma-active compounds were evaluated by aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). A total of 51 and 54 volatile compounds from acai berry were identified from SAFE and LLCE extracts, respectively. Alcohols were confirmed to be important volatile compounds in acai berry, as the major volatile compounds were 2-phenylethanol, (Z)-3-hexenol, and benzyl alcohol. ${\beta}-Damascenone$ (berry, rose), trans-linalool oxide (woody), (Z)-3-hexenol (grass), and 2-phenylethanol (rose, honey) were considered the aroma-active compounds in acai berry. The most intense aroma-active compound of acai berry was ${\beta}-damascenone$.

To characterize aroma properties of burnt beef reaction flavor manufactured by extrusion, volatile flavor compounds and aroma-active compounds were analyzed by simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction (SDE)-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O). Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) was successfully extruded with precursors (glucose, cystine, furaneol, thiamin, methionine, garlic powder, and lecithin) at $160^{\circ}C$, screw speed of 45 rpm, and feed rate of 38 kg/hr. Sixty eight volatile flavor compounds were found in burnt beef reaction flavor. The number of volatile flavor compounds decreased significantly when HVP was extruded either with furaneol-free precursors or without precursors. Twenty seven aroma-active compounds were detected in burnt beef reaction flavor. Of these, methional and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol were the most intense aroma-active compounds. It was suggested that furaneol played an important role in the formation of burnt beef reaction flavor.

Volatile compounds in Omangdungi (Styela plicata)-Doenjang (soybean paste) stew were analyzed using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation/gas chromatography/mass-selective detection/olfactometry (SAFE/GC/MSD/O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). The GC/O analysis detected 37 volatile compounds, of which 32 were positively identified, and included 9 aldehydes, 5 alcohols, 4 aromatic hydrocarbons, 4 ketones, 3 esters, 3 N-containing compounds, 2 acids, 1 S-containing compound, and 1 furan. Nine aroma-active odorants ($\log_3FD{\geq}3.0$) in the sample included six compounds derived from Doenjang (3-methyl(thio)propanal, tetramethylpyrazine, 4-vinyl-2-methoxyphenol, 2-acetylpyrrole, butyric acid, and 2-methoxyphenol) and three compounds from Omangdungi (2-acetyl-2-thiazoline, 9-decanol, and 6-decenol). Three compounds derived from Omangdungi (9-decanol, 6-decenol, and 6-nonenol) were thought to enhance the seafood-like flavor of Omangdungi-Doenjang stew.

To characterize the aroma properties of roasted bulgogi reaction flavor obtained by using a high-temperature reaction apparatus, the volatile flavor and aroma-active compounds were analyzed using simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction (SDE)-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O). One hundred five volatile compounds were detected in roasted bulgogi reaction flavor using GC-MS. Out of these compounds, furfural was the most abundant volatile compound, followed in order of abundance by 5-methyl furfural, phenylacetaldehyde, and nonanal. Of the volatile compounds identified in roasted bulgogi reaction flavor, 33 aroma-active compounds were detected using GC-O. 2,3-Butanedione and furfural were the most intense aroma-active compounds detected. Other relatively intense odorants included hexanal, octanal, nonanal, undecanal, phenylacetaldehyde, 5-methyl furfural, 2,6-dimethyl pyrazine, and dimethyl trisulfide. These were important aroma-active compounds that contributed to the aroma of roasted bulgogi reaction flavor because of their potency and aroma properties. The concentrations of the aroma-active compounds increased as the reaction temperature increased, whereas those of the sulfide compounds decreased.

Aroma-active compounds were evaluated from salt-fermented anchovy sauce by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-olfactometry (SPME-GC-O) based on sample dilution analysis (SDA). SPME extract from carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) fiber was the most similar to the original odor of salt-fermented anchovy sauce used for this experiment, followed by divinylbenzene/CAR/PDMS (DVB/CAR/PDMS) fiber. Because salt-fermented anchovy sauce contains 23% NaCl, NaCl concentration of diluent was considered when salt-fermented anchovy sauce was serially diluted. Linear relationship between GC response and sample concentration was observed when diluted with 23% NaCl solution, whereas not observed when diluted with deodorized distilled water. Eleven and 16 aroma-active compounds were detected by SPME-GC-O based on SDA using CAR/PDMS and DVB/CAR/PDMS fibers, respectively. Butanoic acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid showed the highest ${\log}_2SD$ factors for CAR/PDMS and DVB/CAR/PDMS fibers. Dimethyl trisulfide, methional, trimethyl amine, 1-penten-3-ol, and acetic acid were also detected as potent aroma-active compounds.

The objective of this study was to analyze volatile and aroma-active compounds in Korean wild chive (Allium monanthum Maxim.) cultivated in open-fields or greenhouse systems using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation-gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry and GC-olfactometry. Aroma-active compounds were evaluated using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Twenty-two aroma-active compounds with log₂ flavor dilutions (FD) of 1-10 were detected in Korean wild chive, which was cultivated in an open-field or a greenhouse. 2-Isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine ("earthy"), 2-sec-butyl-3-methoxypyrazine ("earthy", "musty"), and dipropyl disulfide ("sulfurous") were the most predominant aroma-active compounds with log₂FD of 9-10; this was followed by dimethyl trisulfide ("onion-like") and (E)-1-propenyl propyl disulfide ("fresh onion-like"). The "sulfurous", "earthy", "pungent", and "cabbage-like" aroma notes were strong in Korean wild chive. More intense "pungent" odors were detected in Korean wild chive cultivated in an open-field, whereas more intense "cabbage-like" odors were detected in Korean wild chive cultivated in a greenhouse.

Volatile compounds, isolated from Chopi (Zanthoxylum piperitum A.P. DC.) using steam distillation, were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O). Forty-six volatile compounds, consisting of 12 hydrocarbons, 8 aldehydes, 5 esters, 12 alcohols, 4 ketones, 4 oxides and 1 acid, were tentatively identified from the essential oil of Chopi. Unidentified compounds constituted 7.2% of the total peak area. Limonene was the most abundant compound, followed by geranyl acetate, citronellal, cryptone and ${\beta}$-myrcene. In addition, aroma-active compounds, in particular citronellal and limonene, which are related to the citrus and Chopi flavors of Chopi essential oil, were detected. The aroma of Chopi essential oil had a score of 4.8 on the preference test (neither like nor dislike) and a score of 5.97 on the intensity test (slightly strong) using the 9-point hedonic scale.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of roasting degree of barley on aroma characteristics of boricha (barley tea) using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-olfactometry. Fifteen volatile compounds including pyrazine, ethylpyrazine, butyrolactone, and guaiacol were considered important volatile compounds, which are generated by roasting barley, because concentrations of those volatiles were significantly increased (p<0.05) as roasting degree of barley was darker. Guaiacol (smoky), furfuryl alcohol (burnt sugar), and furfural (caramel) were detected as aroma-active compounds of boricha with high intensity. Aroma intensity of aroma-active compounds in boricha increased with increase in roasting degree of barley. However, one unknown compound with burnt smell was detected as off-flavor in dark roasted barley. Therefore, it is implied that medium roasting of barley is desirable during boricha manufacturing. Furthermore, boricha manufactured with steamed barley contained more abundant volatile flavor compounds, which may lead to better aroma quality of boricha.
