Roasted almond volatiles were separated into basic, carbonyl and non-carbonyl fractions, Each fraction was analyzed by combination gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Twenty five compounds, in addition to eighteen known components, were identified. Many of the components identified were considered to contribute to the overall flavor. 2, 5-Dimethyl-4hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone, which was identified from methanol extract of roasted almond, seemed to make the largest contribution to the sweet aroma of roasted almond.
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.
