Abstract

A method using distillation–solid-phase extraction coupled with gas chromatography and flame ionization detector was developed for assaying the major volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (i.e., 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, and 2-phenylethanol) in the Tuber melanosporum fermentation system. Satisfied linearity, precision, accuracy, and recovery obtained in the method validation test indicate that the method was simple, accurate, and reproducible. Furthermore, the developed analytical method was used for the dynamic monitoring of the T. melanosporum fermentation process, and the highest amount of major VOCs was occurred on days 9 and 10. This method can be employed to monitor the VOCs in the fermentation process and thus to evaluate the VOC quality of the truffle fermentation system.
