Characterization of volatile components of menhaden fish (brevoortia tyrannus) oil

Abstract

Volatile odor components of winterized and undeodorized menhaden(Brevoortia tyrannus) oil were characterized by dynamic headspace concentration on a porous polymer trap, thermal desorption, cryogenic focusing, high resolution gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and chromatography-coupled descriptive odor evaluation. Many volatile odor components derived from lipid oxidation in the fish oil were identified. These included, among others, short-chain saturated and unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, as well as short-chain carboxylic acids. The former imparted greasy, oily, oxidized oil and green grassy or green plant-like odors, and the latter gave rather objectionable sweaty odors. Normal alkanes were detected as major volatiles without significant odors. The odor-significant volatile components may be used as specific flavor quality markers to determine deodorization efficiency on crude fish oil and to monitor flavor stability of purified oils. This combined analytical approach can be readily applied to the study of volatile components in other oils.
