The volatile flavor compounds of chestnut powder,boiled chestnut and three puffed chestnut products were determined by HS-SPME-GC/MS.Sixty eight kinds of volatile flavor compounds were identified.Four kinds of pyrazine(methylpyrazine,2,3-dimethyl pyrazine,2-ethyl-6-methyl pyrazine,2,6-dimethyl pyrazine),five kinds of furans(2-pentyl furan,γ-Butyrolactone,2-furfuryl alcohol,2,5-dihydro-3,5-dimethyl-2-furanone,2(3H)-Furanone,5-butyldihydro-) as well as one kind of aromatic substances(Benzaldehyde) were initially identified as important aroma impact compounds.Chestnut aroma enhanced after cooking.Different puffing significantly influence aroma compositions of puffed chestnuts crisps.The aroma substance composition of extruded chestnut crisps and boiled chestnut are quite similar.A lot of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol,which has paste flavor was generated in microwave puffing chestnut crisps.Volatile components of fried puffed chestnut crisps were the most complex which contained more aldehydes substances.
