description | This study employed the headspace-gas chromatography-ion migration spectrum (HS-GC-IMS) in conjunction with the gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) technique for the assessment of the flavor quality of complementary food powder intended for infants and young children. A total of 62 volatile compounds were identified, including aldehydes, esters, alcohols, ketones, pyrazines, and furans, among which aldehydes were the most abundant compounds. Based on the principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models, infant nutritional powder (YYB) from different manufacturers could be clearly distinguished. Among them, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 1, 2-dimethoxyethane, 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, and methyl butyrate were the four most critical differential volatiles. In addition, these differences were also manifested in changes in fatty acids. The reason for this phenomenon can be attributed to the difference in the proportion of raw materials used in nutrition powder, micronutrient content, and the packaging process. In conclusion, this study provides comprehensive information on the flavor quality of YYB, which can be used as a basis for quality control of YYB. |
