Evaluation of the Key Odorants in a Thermally Treated Solution of Ribose and Cysteine by Aroma Extract Dilution Techniques
摘要:
Application of the aroma extract dilution analysis on a solvent extract isolated from a thermally treated solution (145 degrees C; 20 min) of cysteine/ribose led to the identification of 2-furfurylthiol, 3-mercapto-2-pentanone, 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, 5-acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazine, 3-mercapto-2-butanone, and bis(2-methyl-3-furyl) disulfide showing the highest flavor dilution factors among the 29 odor-active volatiles. HRGC/olfactometry of decreasing headspace volumes established especially 2-furfurylthiol and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol as important odorants and revealed 2-thenyl mercaptan and ethyl mercaptan as further key contributors to the overall roasty, meatlike, sulfury odor of the model mixture. 5-Acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazine, identified for the first time among the volatiles of Maillard model reactions or foods, exhibited an intense roasty, popcorn-like odor at the low odor threshold of 0.06 ng/L of air, which was of the same order of magnitude as those reported in the literature for the roasty-smelling odorants 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline and 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline.
Oxidative cross-coupling of two thiols is the most direct tool for the synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides and highly desirable across academia and industry. However, the inevitable formation of significant amounts of the corresponding symmetrical by-products is a major issue. We herein present a method toward the synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides in which the homo-coupling of the thiols is effectively

The products of reactions of hydrogen sulfide with 2,3-butanedione and with 2,3-pentanedione in dilute ethanolic solution were analyzed by CC-MS and CC-odor port analysis. Components were also collected from the GC column and analyzed by H-1 NMR. Mercaptoketones were formed which readily oxidized to the corresponding disulfides with traces of mono- and trisulfides. When 2-methyl-3-furanthiol or 2-furylmethanethiol was added to the reaction mixtures, a series of disulfides containing alkanone, 2-methyl-3-furyl and 2-furanmethyl moieties were formed. Some of these compounds have been found recently in the volatiles of cooked meat and in meatlike model systems. GC-odor port evaluation of the components of the reaction systems showed that disulfides containing the 2-methyl-3-furyl group had meaty aromas, whereas those without this group were sulfurous or onion-like in character.
