Xiao, Zuobing published the artcileIdentification of key aromas of Chinese muskmelon and study of their formation mechanisms, Synthetic Route of 140-11-4, the main research area is Chinese muskmelon formation mechanism key aroma identification.
The volatile compounds found in melons (Cucumis melo L.) obtained from three cultivars [Jiashi (JS), Xizhoumi17 (XZM) and Minqin (MQ)] were comprehensively analyzed by gas chromatog.-olfactometry (GC-O), gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and GC-flame photometric detection (GC-FPD). The result showed that 46, 45 and 69 volatile compounds were detected in XZM, JS and MQ samples by GC-MS, resp. Besides, 6, 8 and 9 sulfur compounds were detected by GC-FPD, resp. Di-Me sulfide, 1-propanethiol, 3-mercapto-3methylbutanol, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-thiol were detected for the first time in melon. 25 key aroma compounds were identified in MQ muskmelon by omission tests, among which (Z)-6-nonenal, (Z)-6-nonen-1-ol, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutyl acetate, hexanal and Me thioacetate were particularly important. The interaction between three aroma compounds containing nine-carbon straight-chain structure and five thioesters in MQ muskmelon was studied by comparing their olfactory threshold and OAV values. Among the 18 binary mixtures, 8 mixtures showed a synergistic effect, 2 mixtures presented an additive effect, 2 mixtures showed no interaction, 6 mixtures exhibited a masking effect. There is a synergistic effect between (Z)-6-nonenal, (Z)-6-nonen-1-ol and (E, Z)-3,6-nonadien-1-ol, the aroma intensity of the mixture can be predicted by modified vector model.
European Food Research and Technology published new progress about Binary mixtures. 140-11-4 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Benzyl acetate, and the molecular formula is C9H10O2, Synthetic Route of 140-11-4.
