The potential of glucosidase and glucose oxidase for aroma improvement in concentrated peach puree based on volatilomics and metabolomics.

ABSTRACT

Cooked off-flavor was produced during the processing of concentrated peach puree (CPP), which led to aroma deterioration. Enzymatic treatment was beneficial in eliminating off-flavors and improving the aroma quality. Herein, the efficacy of glycosidase (AR2000), glucose oxidation (GOD), and their combination on the inhibition of off-flavors and aroma enhancement were evaluated. Compared with CPP, contents of benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, nonanal, and linalool increased by 198%, 1222%, 781%, and 71% after AR2000 treatment via the metabolisms of shikimate, glucose, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, leading to the strengthening of floral and grassy. Due to the removal of 1-octen-3-one via linolenic acid metabolism, cooked off-flavor could be significantly weakened by GOD. Furthermore, Furthermore, the combination of AR2000 and GOD could not only inhibit the production of 1-octen-3-one to weaken the cooked note but also enhance grassy and floral attributes via the increase of aldehydes and alcohols.
