“…Volatile compounds, including A4 (thiophene), A7 (2,5‐diethylthiophene), A12 (2‐pentylfuran), A19 (benzyl alcohol), A42 (heptanal), A43 (octanal), 49 (2‐undecenal), A50 [(E)‐2‐decenal], A51 [(E)‐2‐nonenal], and A59 (2, 5‐thiophenedicarboxaldehyde), were positively correlated to the meaty attribute, and 95% of the variation was explained. This finding was similar to the results of Shi et al, who found that (E)‐2‐nonenal and (E)‐2‐decenal had a significant influence on tallowy. Volatile compounds A20 (2‐furfurylthiol), A31 (3‐thiophenemethanol), A37 (2‐methyl‐ 3‐pentanethiol), A54 [(E,E)‐2,4‐nonadienal], A38 (2‐methyl‐1‐pentanethiol), and A55 [(E,E)‐2,4‐decadienal] had a significant and positive effect on muttony note, and 86% of the variation was explained, whereas most of the volatile compounds had a negative correlation with the muttony attribute.…”
