Characterization of Aroma-Active Components and Antioxidant Activity Analysis of E-jiao (Colla Corii Asini) from Different Geographical Origins

Abstract E-jiao (Colla Corii Asini, CCA) has been widely used as a healthy food and Chinese medicine. Although authentic CCA is characterized by its typical sweet and neutral fragrance, its aroma components have been rarely investigated. This work investigated the aroma-active components and antioxi...

description Abstract E-jiao (Colla Corii Asini, CCA) has been widely used as a healthy food and Chinese medicine. Although authentic CCA is characterized by its typical sweet and neutral fragrance, its aroma components have been rarely investigated. This work investigated the aroma-active components and antioxidant activity of 19 CCAs from different geographical origins. CCA extracts obtained by simultaneous distillation and extraction were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC–O) and sensory analysis. The antioxidant activity of CCAs was determined by ABTS and DPPH assays. A total of 65 volatile compounds were identified and quantified by GC–MS and 23 aroma-active compounds were identified by GC–O and aroma extract dilution analysis. The most powerful aroma-active compounds were identified based on the flavor dilution factor and their contents were compared among the 19 CCAs. Principal component analysis of the 23 aroma-active components showed 3 significant clusters. Canonical correlation analysis between antioxidant assays and the 23 aroma-active compounds indicates strong correlation (r = 0.9776, p = 0.0281). Analysis of aroma-active components shows potential for quality evaluation and discrimination of CCAs from different geographical origins. Graphical Abstract
