Zusammenfassung

Durch Aromaextraktverdünnungsanalyse (AEVA) der flüchtigen Verbindungen, isoliert durch simultane Destillation/Extraktion aus Hühnerbrühe, wurden 16 primäre Aromastoffe mit FD-Faktoren im Bereich 64 bis 2048 wahrgenommen. Von diesen Verbindungen wurden 14 identifiziert: 2-Methyl-3-furanthiol, 2-Furfurylthiol, Methional, 2,4,5-Trimethylthiazol, Nonanal, 2(E)-Nonenal, 2-Formyl-5-methylthiophen,p-Kresol, 2(E),4(E)-Nonadienal, 2(E),4(E)-Decadienal, 2-Undecenal,β-Ionon, γ-Decalacton, γ-Dodecalacton. Die primären Geruchsstoffe der Hühnerbrühe wurden mit denen verglichen, die aus einer AEVA von Kuh- und Ochsenfleischbrühe stammten. Hauptunterschiede waren: 2(E),4(E)-Decadienal (fettig) und γ-Dodecalacton (talgig, fruchtig) überwogen in Hühnerbrühe, während die Schwefelverbindungen Bis(2-methyl-3-furyl)disulfid (fleischartig) und Methional (gekochte Kartoffeln) in den Brühen aus Rindfleisch dominierten. Die Geruchsschwellen (in Luft) wichtiger Fleischaromastoffe wurden bestimmt.

Summary

Aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) of the volatiles obtained by the simultaneous distillation/extraction of a chicken broth resulted in 16 primary odour compounds with FD factor values between 64 and 2048. Fourteen of these compounds were identified as: 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, 2-furfurylthiol, methional, 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole, nonanal, 2(E)-nonenal, 2-formyl-5-methylthiophene,p-cresol, 2(E),4(E)-nonadienal, 2(E),4(E)-decadienal, 2-undecenal,β-ionone, γ-decalactone and γ-dodecalactone. The primary odorants of chicken broth were compared with those resulting from the AEDA of broths from cow and ox meat. The major differences were that 2(E),4(E)-decadienal (fatty) and γ-dodecalactone (tallowy, fruity) prevailed in the chicken broth, whereas the sulphur compounds, bis(2-methyl-3-furyl)disulphide (meat-like-aroma) and methional (aroma like cooked potatoes), predominated in broths prepared from cow and ox meats. The odour thresholds (in air) of important meat aroma compounds are reported.
