Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this collection, titled “Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Flavor Chemistry and Technology”. Flavor applications are an important function within both a flavor company and the food industry. This issue will be a collection of papers, and researchers invited by the Editorial Board Members. The aim is to provide a venue for networking and communication between applied sciences and scholars, as well as for the industry, on all aspects of flavors and related materials or technologies.

Prof. Dr. Alessandro Genovese
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Abstract
The term “flavor” refers to the overall sensory experience of a food or beverage, including olfaction (the perception of smell and aroma), gustation (the perception of taste), and trigeminal sensations, which combine the perception of texture, mouthfeel, temperature, and chemesthesis (i [...] Full article

Shiikuwasha (Citrus depressa Hayata) and calamansi (C. microcarpa Bunge) are distinct citrus species with a strong sour taste that grow naturally in Okinawa, Japan. The present study aimed to characterize the physicochemical traits, total carotenoid content, and taste/nutrient-related metabolite and volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles of the mature fruits from three shiikuwasha cultivation lines (“Izumi kugani”, “Izumi kugani-like”, and “Ogimi kugani”) and calamansi. The shiikuwasha lines had higher ratios of soluble solids/titratable acidity but a lower total carotenoid content than calamansi. There were positive statistical correlations between total carotenoids with red, yellow, and orange indices (a*, b*, and a*/b* color spaces, respectively). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that shiikuwasha had higher sucrose and choline contents, while calamansi was richer in sourness-related metabolites such as citrate and malate. PCA plots displayed differences in the VOCs between the two citrus cultivars, wherein volatile accumulation was much richer in juices prepared from the whole fruits than in juices from the edible flesh parts. The plots also showed that monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes differentiated the VOC profiles of shiikuwasha and calamansi. This study reveals differences in the flavor components of the two citrus cultivars and highlights the potential uses of each in local and regional agro-business. Full article

As more and more consumers are becoming conscious of the safety and taste of meat products, the use of natural additives and innovative processing techniques has gained significant attention. Naturally fermented fruit vinegar is rich in organic acids and antioxidant phenolic compounds. In addition, it contains amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and provitamin beta-carotene, and the presence of acetic acid bacteria may have a positive effect on consumer health. The study aimed to assess the impact of different concentrations of apple vinegar addition on the quality of cooked sausage, focusing on physicochemical parameters, including fatty acid profile and oxidative stability, as well as microbiological quality and sensory changes after production and during chilling storage. Four variants of sausage were prepared: C—sausage without apple vinegar; V1—sausage with 1% of apple vinegar; V3—sausage with 3% of apple vinegar; and V5—sausage with 5% of apple vinegar. All of the tests were carried out after production, as well as after 7 and 14 days of refrigeration storage. The addition of apple vinegar decreased the pH value and increased the oxidation-reduction potential and lipid oxidation in the samples V1, V3, and V5. The sausage with the 5% addition of apple vinegar (V5) was characterized by significantly more intensive brightness (parameter L* = 54.67) in comparison to the C sample (parameter L* = 52.78). The sausages that were tested showed good microbiological quality concerning the total number of microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria, and the absence of pathogenic bacteria. The addition of apple vinegar contributed to the reduction in the intensity of the cured meat flavor and the fatty flavor. Therefore, according to the results presented in this work, it can be concluded that 3% of vinegar is the optimal addition, which may be used in the next step of investigation, taking into account color formation abilities as well as microbiological quality and lipid oxidation processes.
