Abstract

In order to analyze the aroma compounds that form the unique aroma characteristics of traditional Chinese soy sauce, the volatile components were extracted and separated into 11 fractions by normal phase chromatography technique. A total of 80 aroma compounds in traditional Chinese soy sauce were identified by GC-O. Among them, methional, ethyl acetate, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-methylbutyric acid, guaiacol, 4-ethyl guaiacol, vanillin, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one, sotolone, HEMF, HDMF and 2-furanmethanol possessed higher aroma intensity (≥ 3), which might be potential key aroma compounds. In addition, 3-methyl-4-pentanolactone, pantolactone, linalool, limonene and bis(2-furfuryl) disulfide were firstly identified as aroma compounds in traditional Chinese soy sauce. Overall, this research enhances the scientific understanding of the flavor of traditional Chinese soy sauce.
