Abstract

The quality of food is largely dependent upon its organoleptic characteristics. Odorous compounds present in food reach the olfactory mucosa receptors in two different ways. By direct sniffing, the volatile compounds interact with the nose receptors and produce an odor sensation. When the volatile molecules are released in the mouth, the olfactory epithelium is reached by a retronasal route and the sensation perceived is known as aroma. The combined sensation of aroma and taste give the overall flavor of a food. A large number of volatile compounds responsible for fruit and vegetable aroma have been identified over the past 30 years by high resolution gas chromatography coupled to either mass spectrometry (HRGC/MS) or to Fournier Transformed Infra Red spectrometry (HRGC/FTIR), together with 1H and l3C NMR. These compounds are representative of different classes of organic compounds, several hundred volatiles having been found in the tissue of plants.
