Truffles are the fruiting bodies of ascomycete fungi that form underground. Truffles are globally valued, culturally celebrated as aphrodisiacs, and highly sought-after delicacies in the culinary world. For centuries, naturalists have speculated about their mode of formation, and in cultures surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, many species have been prized as a delectable food source. Truffle fruiting bodies form underground and emit a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Truffle volatiles are believed to have evolved to attract animals that disperse their spores. The main VOCs identified from truffles include sulfur compounds, such as dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS); in addition, 1-octen-3-ol and 2-methyl-1-propanol have been found in most truffle species. Humans use pigs and dogs trained to detect truffle VOCs in order to find these prized subterranean macrofungi. Truffles have pharmacological potential, but until more reliable cultivation methods become available their high price means they are unlikely to see widespread use as medicinals.

This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial and anti-oral malodor effect of Schizandra chinensis extracts against oral pathogens. S. chinensis methanol (MeOH) extract showed better antimicrobial activities against oral pathogens than the S. chinensis hot water extract did. In particular, ethylacetate (EA) fraction of S. chinensis MeOH extract had the greatest effects against Streptococcus mutans, S. sanguinis, S. salivaris subsp. thermophols and Porphyromons gingivalis. The anti-malodor effect of S. chinensis against the generation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide, was estimated using oral chroma in a practical study. The results showed that 2% MeOH extract of S. chinensis against the production of hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide had inhibitions of 91.15, 78.72 and 71.58%, respectively. These results showed that Schizandra chinensis extract had antimicrobial activity against several oral pathogens and exhibited significant effects on the inhibition of VSCs. Thus, Schizandra chinensis extract could be an alternative to available synthetic chemicals and oral hygiene products.

The purposes of this study are investigation of species of attached algae and the relation between attached algae and odor in tap water, Oscillatoria sp. and Mougeotia sp. were colonized at sedimentation basin in water treatment plant. Resulting from analysis, 3.7ppt of geosmin and dimethyl-disulfide with trace were detected in sample of Oscillatoria sp. only, 22 compounds were found in each of sample that had been incubated in room temperature for 5 days, 17 compounds were generated by algal decay. Decayed products were sulfur compounds of 10 species such as dimethyl-sulfide and phenol, p-cresol, indole and scatole. So, it is assumed that attached algae which tolerant to chlorine was the origin of odor in tap water. They usually formed big colonies. Colonies on the bottom were decayed because of anaerobic state. While decaying they were detached from colonies and so, odorous compounds are originated from this decayed algae.

Volatile flavor compounds in Alaska pollack sik-hae during fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by liquid-liquid continuous extraction (LLCE) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) methods. Sixty five volatile compounds were detected in Alaska pollack sik-hae during fermentation. These compounds were composed mainly of 11 S-containing compounds, 13 alcohols, 13 acids, 4 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 6 terpenes,4 aromatic compounds and 10 miscellaneous compounds. Among these, 9 S-containing compounds (3-(methylthio)-1-propene, dimethyl disulfide, diallyl sulfide, methylallyl disulfide, methyl-(E) -propenyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, 2 diallyl disulfide isomers and diallyl trisulfide), 2 acids (acetic acid and butanoic acid), 2 ketones (2, 3-butanedione and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one) and 2 esters (ethyl formate and ethyl acetate) were significantly increased during fermentation (p<0.05), and these compounds were suspected to affect on the odor of Alaska pollack sik-hae.

Effects of adding 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% freeze-dried kimchi powder (FDKP) on kimchi snack quality were examined. Headspace volatile compounds of 4% FDKP snack, receiving highest overall preference in sensory evaluation results, were analyzed, and 26 compounds were identified, including 13 aldehydes, 3 sulfides, a ketone, an acid, a terpene, and 7 other compounds. Pearson correlation analyses were carried out to determine a correlation between the concentration of FDKP and the amount of each volatile compound. Acetaldehyde, propanal, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, acetic acid, and d-limonene showed correlation coefficients above 0.90; selective ion move (SIM) analysis also showed above 0.97 for highly correlated compounds. Results suggest that these compounds can be used as indicators fur kimchi flavor of FDKP snack.

To characterize the aroma properties of roasted bulgogi reaction flavor obtained by using a high-temperature reaction apparatus, the volatile flavor and aroma-active compounds were analyzed using simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction (SDE)-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O). One hundred five volatile compounds were detected in roasted bulgogi reaction flavor using GC-MS. Out of these compounds, furfural was the most abundant volatile compound, followed in order of abundance by 5-methyl furfural, phenylacetaldehyde, and nonanal. Of the volatile compounds identified in roasted bulgogi reaction flavor, 33 aroma-active compounds were detected using GC-O. 2,3-Butanedione and furfural were the most intense aroma-active compounds detected. Other relatively intense odorants included hexanal, octanal, nonanal, undecanal, phenylacetaldehyde, 5-methyl furfural, 2,6-dimethyl pyrazine, and dimethyl trisulfide. These were important aroma-active compounds that contributed to the aroma of roasted bulgogi reaction flavor because of their potency and aroma properties. The concentrations of the aroma-active compounds increased as the reaction temperature increased, whereas those of the sulfide compounds decreased.

Volatile flavor compounds of radish fermented by lactic acid bacteria were extracted using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 45 volatile flavor compounds were identified. The volatile flavor compounds in unfermented radish mostly consisted of sulfur-containing compounds (95.85%) and aldehydes (2.61%). While the composition ratio of volatile flavor compounds in radish fermented for two days changed to sulfur-containing compounds (75.53%) and acids (11.12%). As the fermentation period was increased, the contents of dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, and diallyl trisulfide, which have unique garlic and scallion flavor, decreased, and acetic acid and 1-hexanol, which have a sour and fruity flavor, increased. These changes in volatile flavor compounds seemed to have affected the flavor characteristics of fermented radish.

Volatile flavor compounds in commercial sterilized milk were analyzed and identified by static headspace, purge-and-trap, and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) methods. About 20 volatile compounds were identified by GC/MS, and aldehydes and ketones were the most distinctive and abundant compounds. Static headspace analysis allowed the identification of only the most abundant compounds, such as acetone. Five ketones (acetone, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-heptanone, 2-nonanone), four aldehydes (2-methylbutanal, pentanal, hexanal, benzaldehyde) and dimethyl sulfide, all of which were responsible for off-flavor in milk, were found by the purge-and-trap and SPME methods. The two methods differed little in their release of these compounds, but they yielded different amounts in the extraction.

Effects of commercial food grade porcine pancreatic lipase on the neutral volatile compounds in Cheddar cheese were studied The enzyme was incorporated into the cheese at two different levels of concentration and ripened at various temperatures. The production of 2-butanone increased at higher amount of lipase and higher temperature, but the production of 2-pentanone was inconsistent trends during ripening periods. The concentration of acetaldehyde was the highest among aldehydes and was increased consistently during ripening Periods. In alcohol production ethanol was the most abundant but no further consistent trend was observed after 6 wk. The production of ethyl butyrate was the most abundant ester and related io lipase activities as well as ripening temperatures. Dimethyl sulfide was the only sulfur compound and appeared not to be related to the addition of lipase or ripening temperatures . Statistical analysis suggested that ethyl butyrate was most correlated to aged Cheddar flavor during cheese ripening.
