Abstract

To deeply investigate the differences of volatile compounds in different varieties of sorghum, the volatile components of 20 sorghums were analyzed by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS).Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was performed to screen key differential volatile compounds based on variable importance in projection (VIP) and relative odor activity value (ROAV).A total of 73 volatile compounds were identified by GC-IMS, including 23 aldehydes, 8 ketones, 16 alcohols, 14 esters, 6 acids, and 6 others.A total of 128 volatile compounds were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS, and 26 volatile compounds, such as ethanol, 2-heptanone, and dodecane, were detected in all varieties.A total of 19 compounds were detected by both methods.The OPLS-DA model for GC-IMS and HS-SPME-GC-MS was constructed based on the VIP values, and seven (including nonanal, heptanal, butyric acid, hexanal, 2-methylbutanal, pentanal, and 2,3-butanedione) and one (hexanal) compounds were screened out respectively in combination with the relative odorant activity value (ROAV>1) as the key differential volatile compounds in different sorghum varieties, it provides a theoretical basis for evaluating the flavor and quality of sorghum and differentiating varieties.
