In this study, the odour-active volatile compounds present in a coffee aroma concentrate obtained from a soluble coffee extract in an industrial aroma recovery system based on distillation and evaporation were characterized by solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and olfactometric detection technique. This analysis allowed the identification of 58 compounds, of which 15 pyrazines, 9 furans, 6 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 4 esters, 4 pyrroles, 4 sulphur compounds, 3 pyridines, 3 phenols, 3 alcohols, an oxazole, and a pyran are highlighted. From these families, the following compounds presented the highest sensory activities (%MF = 100): 2-methylbutanal, 2-methyl-2-butenal, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, furfural, and methyl phenyl acetate. These compounds can be considered as quality markers in the process control on the aroma recovery system.Caracterización de compuestos de aroma presentes en un concentrado de recuperación industrial de aromas de café.
