AbstractThe purpose of the study was to reveal the differences of the flavor compounds among five Baiyunbian aged liquors by liquid-liquid extraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (LLE-GC-MS) and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS). In optimizing the LLE parameters, an extractant, methyl tert-butyl ether, was found which has a good extract effect and has never been used for the extraction of liquor flavor substances. Then the optimized LLE method has been applied to comprehensively analyze flavor compounds in 3-year-storage liquors (3Y), 5Y, 12Y, 15Y, and 20Y of Baiyunbian liquors combined with GC-MS. The results showed that the number and concentration of total flavor compounds also enhanced with the increase of cellaring ages. The total concentration of flavor compounds in 20Y was the highest (4543.23 mg/L), and the 3Y was the lowest (3984.96 mg/L). Among them, the significant differences among five samples were esters, alcohols, acids and nitrogen-containing compounds. Cluster analysis was used to analyze the aromas profiles by LLE-GC-MS, which revealed relationship among five samples. The results showed that the similarity of the samples was highest between 15Y and 20Y, followed by 3Y and 5Y. The characteristic flavors fingerprints of five kinds of Baiyunbian aged liquors were established by HS-GC-IMS. The results showed that the characteristic peaks in GC-IMS 3D spectra corresponding to flavor compounds can effectively characterize the sample information areas. The sectional intensities of 60 characteristic peaks in the corresponding three-dimensional spectra were selected as variables. After the principal components analysis (PCA) was used to reduce information dimensionality, it was further distinguished by HS-GC-IMS that 3Y and 5Y can be completely separated, but 15Y and 20Y were very similar and cannot be completely distinguished. The obtained results are valuable for the in-depth understanding and further study of flavors of Baiyunbian liquors.

AbstractA rapid and sensitive headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC–MS) method was established for the determination of benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) in the peel, pulp, and seeds of Carica papaya Linn. Tween 80 solution with a concentration of 0.002% (w/v) was chosen as a headspace medium for solving the poor solubility of BITC in water without using organic solvents and ensuring high headspace efficiencies. Extraction parameters had been evaluated and optimized by using an orthogonal design with an OA9(34) table. Optimal headspace conditions were obtained when vials were equilibrated at 80 °C for 20 min at a stirring speed of 375 rpm. The calibration curve obtained by using GC–MS was linear in a concentration range of 10–320 ng/mL. The recoveries of peel, pulp, and seeds ranged from 97.3 to 100.6% with RSDs less than 3.0%. The method is simple, rapid, sensitive, and environmentally friendly. It is suitable for analyzing BITC in papaya fruit and is expected to have important application potential in the extraction of water-insoluble volatile components in foods, plants, medicines, and other samples.
