    Abstract:
    The key odorants of tartary buckwheat (TB) were researched by a sensory-directed flavor analysis approach for the first time. After the volatiles of TB were isolated by solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE), 49 aroma-active components with flavor dilution (FD) factors in the range of 1-2187 were identified using gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS) combined with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Geranylacetone, phenethyl alcohol, and β-damascone showed the highest FD factors of 2187. All 49 odorants were further quantitated by the internal standard curve method, and their odor activity values (OAVs) were obtained. The overall aroma of TB was successfully simulated (similarity > 98.16%) by mixing 16 odorants (OAV ≥ 1) with their natural concentrations. The omission tests revealed that geosmin, α-isomethylionone, α-methylionone, β-ionone, linalool, β-damascone, geranylacetone, guaiacol, ethyl hexanoate, geraniol, vanillin, tetrahydrolinalool, and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3-(2H)-furanone were the key odorants of TB. Chiral analysis showed that tetrahydrolinalool and linalool existed as racemics in the commercial TB. The relative content of R-enantiomers of α-isomethylionone and α-methylionone was slightly higher than that of their S-enantiomers. The odor thresholds of R- and S-enantiomer of tetrahydrolinalool were first detected as 0.029 and 3.8 μg/L in air, respectively.
