Abstract
The volatile profile was monitored during an optimized salt extraction process (salt solubilization coupled with membrane filtration) to produce a pea protein isolate (PPI). Aroma compounds from samples collected at different steps of the manufacturing process were isolated using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) and GC-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS). A sensory evaluation of pea flour (PF) and PPI aqueous solutions was also conducted. Twelve aroma compounds were perceived with a “moderate” odor intensity by panelists from the sniffing port of GC-MS-O. From the sensory evaluation, the aroma descriptors used to describe the PF and PPI testing solutions were also used to describe individual compounds eluting from the sniffing port. This observation supports the hypothesis that the 12 compounds identified in this study by GC-MS-O are likely to be the main contributors to the aroma profile of the samples analyzed.
