Effect of Different Cooking Methods on the Formation of Aroma Components and Heterocyclic Amines in Pork Loin

Abstract

The effect of three cooking methods on the formation of aroma components and heterocyclic amines in pork loin was investigated. The results illustrated that the content of heterocyclic amines in the electric oven-cooked samples was higher than those in hot air fried and deep-oil fried. The number of volatile compounds identified in the hot air fried and electric oven was similar. The aldehyde and pyrazine compounds were the key contributors to the aroma from high temperature heated meat. Three aroma compounds, hexanal, nonanal and benzaldehyde, were detected in all treated meat samples. This study is an initiative to detect and analyze the aroma components and heterocyclic amines from hot air fried pork loin and to obtain a basic understanding of flavor and safety of foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSDiet is one of main factors that influence the health level of human. Pork is one of important animal-derived foods for daily meal. Aroma components and potential hazards have been formed during different cooking methods. Heterocyclic amines (HAs) is one of mutagens can be formed in meat during heat treatment. This study is an initiative to detect and analyze the aroma components and heterocyclic amines from three different cooking methods, which obtain a basic understanding of flavor and safety of foods.

Effect of fermentation and postcooking procedure on quality parameters and volatile compounds of beef jerky

“…In contrast, some unsaturated alcohols such as 1‐octen‐3‐ol have a low threshold value; 1‐octen‐3‐ol was presented in relatively high proportions in the I‐F group (~72 μg/kg) and has been reported to provide aromatics similar to those of mushrooms (Carrapiso & Garcia, 2004). This compound is also reported to be abundant in fried Chinese‐style jerky, in which it is likely formed by lipid oxidation (Yang et al, 2017). Heat treatment and culture addition play an effective role in fatty acid decomposition.…”

Microbial valorization of waste cooking oils for valuable compounds production – a review

“…The oxidation of oils rich in oleic acid produces high amount of unsaturated aldehydes, such as 2-decenal and 2-undecenal, but lower quantities of saturated ones (nonanal and octanal) and hydrocarbons. On the other hand, the oxidation of linoleic acid generates 2,4-decadienal, 2,4-nonadienal, 2,4-octadienal, 2-heptenal, 2-octenal, hexanal, 2,4-heptadienal, 2,4-hexadienal, butenal, propanal and 2-propenal (also known as acrolein) (Chang, Wu, Zhang, Jin, & Wang, 2019;Yang et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2018). All of these compounds generated from cooking oils degradation have harmful effects to human health and are recognized as having mutagenic, carcinogenic, neurotoxic and hepatoxic effects, among others (Tsoutsos et al, 2016).…”

Induced Changes in Aroma Compounds of Foods Treated with High Hydrostatic Pressure: A Review

“…Character impact compounds in both cocoa (phenylacetaldehyde) [ 50 ] and bread (1,2-propanedione) [ 51 ] are generated by the heating of precursors formed by these types of reactions. Non-enzymatic processes result from thermal treatments, such as pasteurization, sterilization, cooking, and roasting [ 52 , 53 ]. These reactions typically refer to the decomposition of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.…”
