The ointment preparations effectively protected hand skin exposed to a high-density A. albopictus Skuse rearing cage for 4-5 h. The HSO microcapsule repellent has broad application and development prospects.
Hotpot is a distinctive dish of East Asian cuisine, especially in China. Herein, headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry, and sensory evaluation are applied to compare the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of four types of hotpot seasoning oils (HSOs) and establish their characteristic fingerprints. A total of 203 VOCs are detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Among them, linalool, anethole, and estragole contribute to the overall aroma of all four HSOs (relative odor activity value ≥ 0.1). Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) results reveal that 77 VOCs are identified, comprising 19 terpenoids, 18 aldehydes, 14 alcohols, 13 esters, 6 ketones, 3 acids, 2 furans, 1 pyrazine, and 1 sulfide. Meanwhile, principal component analysis demonstrates that GC-IMS is an important tool for the rapid classification of hotpot seasonings. Finally, the sensory evaluation team concludes that the horse fat hotpot seasoning has promising development prospects. This study validates the applicability of GC-IMS and GC-MS for distinguishing VOCs in hotpots, and the findings provide a theoretical basis for flavor differentiation in HSOs. Practical Applications: Horse oil is significantly lower in cholesterol than butter, and thus possesses potential benefits for human health. This study provides a basis to produce horse oil hotpots and a reference for identifying the VOCs in HSOs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
