| "...an aroma extract of baked `Jewel' sweetpotatoes was obtained using a cold solvent trap system and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography olfactometry (GCO) using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). GC with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) revealed ≈60 compounds presented in the aroma extract, of which 48 were identified. Olfactory evaluation of the eluted compounds using GC with a thermal conductivity detector (GC-TCD) indicated the presence of 37 odor-active peaks in the aroma extract. Three compounds, phenylacetaldehyde (perfume), maltol (caramel), and methyl geranate (2,6-octadienoic acid, 3,7-dimethyl-, methyl ester) (sweet candy) possessed the highest flavor dilution (FD) values (1500) via AEDA. 2-Acetyl furan (baked potato), 2-pentyl furan (floral), 2-acetyl pyrrole (sweet, caramel), geraniol (sweet floral), and β-ionone (violet) had FD values of 1000. These compounds are thought to be the most potent odorants in baked `Jewel' sweetpotatoes. Additionally, 1,2,4-trimethyl benzene, 2-furmethanol, benzaldehyde, 5-methyl-2-furfural, linalool, isopulegone, n-decanal, 2,4-decadienal, octyl ketone, α-copaene, 4-decanolide, and one unidentified compound were also contributors to the aroma. There was not a character impact compound that comprised the basic baked sweetpotato aroma." \\ | "...an aroma extract of baked `Jewel' sweetpotatoes was obtained using a cold solvent trap system and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography olfactometry (GCO) using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA).

Notably, the average content of aldehydes was 0.94 ± 0.58 mg/kg, ranging from 0.33 mg/kg in ‘Menglazihongpi’ to 2.53 mg/kg in ‘Colo’ (Fig. 2B), which was the highest content among all VOCs. The 20 aldehydes in sweetpotato could be divided into two groups: (1) phenylalanine derivatives, like benzeneacetaldehyde and benzaldehydes; (2) saturated and unsaturated C6-C9 compounds or their derivatives... hexanal, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, benzeneacetaldehyde, benzaldehydes and (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal were the main aldehydes in sweetpotato and their contents accounted for more than 70% of the total aldehydes contents." \\ |
