Simulation and Non-Invasive Testing of Vinegar Storage Time by Olfaction Visualization System and Volatile Organic Compounds Analysis.

ABSTRACT: An olfactory visualization system conducts a qualitative or quantitative analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by utilizing the sensor array made of color sensitive dyes. The reaction chamber is important to the sensor array's sufficient and even exposure to VOCs. In the current work, a reaction chamber with an arc baffle embedded in the front of the air inlet for drainage effect was designed. The velocity of field and particle distribution of flow field in the reaction chamber was simulated by COMSOL Multiphysics. Through repeated simulation, the chamber achieved optimal result when the baffle curvature was 3.1 and the vertical distance between the baffle front end and the air inlet was 1.6 cm. Under the new reaction chamber, principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were employed to identify vinegar samples with different storage time through analyzing their VOCs. The LDA model achieved optimal performance when 8 principal components (PCs) were used, and the recognition rate was 95% in both training and prediction sets. The new reaction chamber could improve the stability and precision of an olfactory visualization system for VOCs analysis, and achieve the accurate differentiation and rapid discrimination of Zhenjiang vinegar with different storage time.

From laboratory to industrial storage - Translating volatile organic compounds into markers for assessing garlic storage quality.

Project description:Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has long been grown for its culinary and health-promoting qualities. The seasonal nature of garlic cropping requires that bulbs be stored for many months after harvest to ensure a year-round supply. During this time, quality is known to deteriorate, and efforts have been made to improve the longevity of stored bulbs. Cold temperatures within the stores prolong shelf life, but fine temperature control is needed to avoid freezing damage or cold induced stress. Here, quality traits (alliinase activity, firmness, and water content) are measured in response to a 96 h - 5 °C cold stress, to simulate the effect of non-isothermic temperature control in a - 1.5 °C warehouse. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are measured by thermal desorption gas chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry to identify markers of non-isothermic storage in garlic. 129 compounds were putatively identified and four (L-lactic acid, 2,6-dimethylhetpadecane, 4-methyldodecane, and methylcyclopentane) showed high predictive accuracy for cold stress. VOCs were also sampled directly from a cold storage facility and the whole profile discriminated between sampling time points. Five VOCS were highly predictive for storage time in the warehouse but were different to VOCs previously shown to discriminate between storage times in a laboratory setting. This indicates the need for realistic warehouse experiments to test quality markers.

Volatile organic compounds of Hanseniaspora uvarum increase strawberry fruit flavor and defense during cold storage.

Project description:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of antagonistic yeasts are considered as environmental safe fumigants to promote the resistance and quality of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa). By GC-MS assays, VOCs of Hanseniaspora uvarum (H. uvarum) fumigated strawberry fruit showed increased contents of methyl caproate (5.8%), methyl octanoate (5.1%), and methyl caprylate (10.9%) in postharvest cold storage. Possible mechanisms of H. uvarum VOCs involved in regulations of the defense-related enzymes and substances in strawberry were investigated during postharvest storage in low temperature and high humidity (2 ± 1°C, RH 90%-95%). Defense-related enzymes assays indicated H. uvarum VOCs stimulated the accumulation of CAT, SOD, POD, APX, PPO, and PAL and inhibited biosynthesis of MDA in strawberry fruit under storage condition. Moreover, the expression levels of related key enzyme genes, such as CAT, SOD, APX42, PPO, and PAL6, were consistently increased in strawberry fruit after H. uvarum VOCs fumigation.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Profile in Colorectal Cancer Patients and Healthy Controls.

Project description:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are low molecular weight (<1 kDa) compounds which represent the final products of cell metabolism. Their composition can be affected by several factors including diet, hormones, environment and the presence of diseases, in particular, cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the commonest tumours and is an important cause of cancer-related mortality. The expression of VOCs in breath that are linked to a patient’s disease state could offers a powerful, non-invasive approach to identifying CRC patients.

Effect of chilled storage period on the volatile organic compounds and bacterial community in goose meat.

Project description:Storage time is considered to be one of the most important factors affecting the obnoxious odor and microbial spoilage of fresh meat. In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and bacterial community structure of chilled goose meat during storage were investigated. The results showed that numerous VOCs were produced during the fresh goose meat storage, including aldehydes (nonanal, (E)-2-octenal, hexanal, tetradecanal), alcohol (1-octen-3-ol), furan (2-pentylfuran), and carboxylic acids (methyl diethyldithiocarbamate), which might be a breakdown product during spoilage. In addition, there were slight fluctuations in fatty acid profiles and amino acid contents. Furthermore, bacterial community diversity decreased with prolonged storage. Also, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter were the dominant spoilage bacteria contributing to nonanal and methyl diethyldithiocarbamate generation. Taken together, these data provide insights into the characterization of VOCs and the bacterial community of chilled goose meat, which will help to further control the microbial quality of chilled meat.

Monitoring Volatile Organic Compounds in Different Pear Cultivars during Storage Using HS-SPME with GC-MS.

Project description:Aroma, which plays an essential role in food perception and acceptability, depends on various mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Meanwhile, as a field of metabolomics, VOC analysis is highly important for aroma improvement and discrimination purposes. In this work, VOCs in pear fruits were determined via headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to study variations among different cultivars and storage stages. In 12 cultivars of pear fruits, a total of 121 VOCs were quantified, including 40 esters, 32 alcohols, 16 aldehydes, 13 alkenes, 11 ketones, 4 acids, and 5 other compounds. The types and amounts of VOCs in different cultivars varied dramatically, which were in the range of 13-71 and 3.63-55.65 mg/kg FW (fresh weight), respectively. The Dr. Guyot cultivar showed the highest level of VOCs, both in type and amount. After 21 days storage at 4 °C, total concentration of VOCs increased from initial levels of 50.76 to 101.33 mg/kg FW. Storage at 20 °C made a larger contribution to production for VOCs than that at 4 °C, resulting in the maximum content of VOCs (117.96 mg/kg FW) in fruit after 14 days storage at 4 °C plus 7 days at 20 °C. During storage, the content of esters showed a gradual increase, while the content of alcohols and aldehydes decreased. Based on the results presented, related alcohols were recognized as the intermediates of conversion from aldehydes to esters.

External ears for non-invasive and stable monitoring of volatile organic compounds in human blood.

Project description:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released through skin (transcutaneous gas) has been increasing in importance for the continuous and real-time assessment of diseases or metabolisms. For stable monitoring of transcutaneous gas, finding a body part with little interference on the measurement is essential. In this study, we have investigated the possibility of external ears for stable and real-time measurement of ethanol vapour by developing a monitoring system that consisted with an over-ear gas collection cell and a biochemical gas sensor (bio-sniffer). The high sensitivity with the broad dynamic range (26 ppb-554 ppm), the high selectivity to ethanol, and the capability of the continuous measurement of the monitoring system uncovered three important characteristics of external ear-derived ethanol with alcohol intake for the first time: there is little interference from sweat glands to a sensor signal at the external ear; similar temporal change in ethanol concentration to that of breath with delayed peak time (avg. 13 min); relatively high concentration of ethanol relative to other parts of a body (external ear-derived ethanol:breath ethanol = 1:590). These features indicated the suitability of external ears for non-invasive monitoring of blood VOCs.

Identification of urinary volatile organic compounds as a potential non-invasive biomarker for esophageal cancer.

Project description:Early diagnosis of esophageal cancer (EC) is extremely challenging. The study presented herein aimed to assess whether urinary volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may be emerging diagnostic biomarkers for EC. Urine samples were collected from EC patients and healthy controls (HCs). Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was next utilised for volatile organic compound detection and predictive models were constructed using machine learning algorithms. ROC curve analysis indicated that an 8-VOCs based machine learning model could aid the diagnosis of EC, with the Random Forests having a maximum AUC of 0.874 and sensitivities and specificities of 84.2% and 90.6%, respectively. Urine VOC analysis aids in the diagnosis of EC.

Proof of concept study: Testing human volatile organic compounds as tools for age classification of films.

Project description:Humans emit numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through breath and skin. The nature and rate of these emissions are affected by various factors including emotional state. Previous measurements of VOCs and CO2 in a cinema have shown that certain chemicals are reproducibly emitted by audiences reacting to events in a particular film. Using data from films with various age classifications, we have studied the relationship between the emission of multiple VOCs and CO2 and the age classifier (0, 6, 12, and 16) with a view to developing a new chemically based and objective film classification method. We apply a random forest model built with time independent features extracted from the time series of every measured compound, and test predictive capability on subsets of all data. It was found that most compounds were not able to predict all age classifiers reliably, likely reflecting the fact that current classification is based on perceived sensibilities to many factors (e.g. incidences of violence, sex, antisocial behaviour, drug use, and bad language) rather than the visceral biological responses expressed in the data. However, promising results were found for isoprene which reliably predicted 0, 6 and 12 age classifiers for a variety of film genres and audience age groups. Therefore, isoprene emission per person might in future be a valuable aid to national classification boards, or even offer an alternative, objective, metric for rating films based on the reactions of large groups of people.
