Abstract
In this study, HS-SPME-GC-MS was applied in combination with machine learning tools to the identitation of a set of cocoa samples of different origins. Untargeted fingerprinting and profiling approaches were tested for their informative, discriminative and classification ability provided by the volatilome of the raw beans and liquors inbound at the factory in search of robust tools exploitable for long-time studies. The ability to distinguish the country of origin on both beans and liquors is not so obvious due to processing steps accompanying the transformation of the beans, but this capacity is of particular interest to the chocolate industry as both beans and liquors can enter indifferently into the processing of chocolate. Both fingerprinting (untargeted) and profiling (targeted) strategies enable to decipher of the information contained in the complex dataset and the cross-validation of the results, affording to discriminate between the origins with effective classification models.

Loesel H, Shakiba N, Wenck S, Le Tan P, Karstens TO, Creydt M, Seifert S, Hackl T, Fischer M. Food Monitoring: Limitations of Accelerated Storage to Predict Molecular Changes in Hazelnuts ( Corylus avellana L.) under Realistic Conditions Using UPLC-ESI-IM-QTOF-MS. Metabolites 2023; 13:1031. [PMID: 37887356 PMCID: PMC10608644 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13101031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Accelerated storage is routinely used with pharmaceuticals to predict stability and degradation patterns over time. The aim of this is to assess the shelf life and quality under harsher conditions, providing crucial insights into their long-term stability and potential storage issues. This study explores the potential of transferring this approach to food matrices for shelf-life estimation. Therefore, hazelnuts were stored under accelerated short-term and realistic long-term conditions. Subsequently, they were analyzed with high resolution mass spectrometry, focusing on the lipid profile. LC-MS analysis has shown that many unique processes take place under accelerated conditions that do not occur or occur much more slowly under realistic conditions. This mainly involved the degradation of membrane lipids such as phospholipids, ceramides, and digalactosyldiacylglycerides, while oxidation processes occurred at different rates in both conditions. It can be concluded that a food matrix is far too complex and heterogeneous compared to pharmaceuticals, so that many more processes take place during accelerated storage, which is why the results cannot be used to predict molecular changes in hazelnuts stored under realistic conditions.

Abstract
Effective investigation of food volatilome by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with parallel detection by mass spectrometry and flame ionization detector (GC×GC-MS/FID) gives access to valuable information related to industrial quality. However, without accurate quantitative data, results transferability over time and across laboratories is prevented. The study applies quantitative volatilomics by multiple headspace solid phase microextraction (MHS-SPME) to a large selection of hazelnut samples (Corylus avellana L. n = 207) representing the top-quality selection of interest for the confectionery industry. By untargeted and targeted fingerprinting, performant classification models validate the role of chemical patterns strongly correlated to quality parameters (i.e., botanical/geographical origin, post-harvest practices, storage time and conditions). By quantification of marker analytes, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are derived: the augmented smelling based on sensomics with blueprint related to key-aroma compounds and spoilage odorant; decision-makers for rancidity level and storage quality; origin tracers. By reliable quantification AI can be applied with confidence and could be the driver for industrial strategies.

Abstract
Computer Vision is an approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that conceptually enables "computers and systems to derive useful information from digital images" giving access to higher-level information and "take actions or make recommendations based on that information". Comprehensive two-dimensional chromatography gives access to highly detailed, accurate, yet unstructured information on the sample's chemical composition, and makes it possible to exploit the AI concepts at the data processing level (e.g., by Computer Vision) to rationalize raw data explorations. The goal is the understanding of the biological phenomena interrelated to a specific/diagnostic chemical signature. This study introduces a novel workflow for Computer Vision based on pattern recognition algorithms (i.e., combined untargeted and targeted UT fingerprinting) which includes the generation of composite Class Images for representative samples' classes, their effective re-alignment and registration against a comprehensive feature template followed by Augmented Visualization by comparative visual analysis. As an illustrative application, a sample set originated from a Research Project on artisanal butter (from raw sweet cream to ripened butter) is explored, capturing the evolution of volatile components along the production chain and the impact of different microbial cultures on the finished product volatilome. The workflow has significant advantages compared to the classical one-step pairwise comparison process given the ability to realign and pairwise compare both targeted and untargeted chromatographic features belonging to Class Images resembling chemical patterns from many different samples with intrinsic biological variability.

Abstract
Storage is a critical step in the post-harvest processing of hazelnuts, as it can lead to mold, rancidity, and off-flavor. However, there is a lack of analytical methods to detect improper or extended storage. To comprehensively investigate the effects of hazelnut storage, samples were stored under five different conditions for up to 18 months. Subsequently, the polar and nonpolar metabolome were analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and chemometric approaches for classification as well as variable selection. Increases in hexanoic, octanoic, and nonanoic acid, all products of lipid oxidation and responsible for quality defects, were found across all conditions. Furthermore, the concentration of free long-chain fatty acids increased in samples stored at high temperatures. Harsh short-term storage resulted in an increase in fumaric and lactic acid, glucose, fructose, and choline and a decrease in acetic acid.

Abstract
In this study, the complex volatilome of maize silage samples conserved for 229 d, inoculated with Lentilactobacillus buchneri (Lbuc) and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (Lpar), is explored by means of advanced fingerprinting methodologies based on comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The combined untargeted and targeted (UT) fingerprinting strategy covers 452 features, 269 of which were putatively identified and assigned within their characteristic classes. The high amounts of short-chain free fatty acids and alcohols were produced by fermentation and led to a large number of esters. The impact of Lbuc fermentation was not clearly distinguishable from the control samples; however, Lpar had a strong and distinctive signature that was dominated by propionic acid and 1-propanol characteristic volatiles. The approach provides a better understanding of silage stabilization mechanisms against the degradative action of yeasts and molds during the exposure of silage to air.

Abstract
L. plantarum ZJ316 (ZJ316) was used as a starter for pickled mustard fermentation. ZJ316 inoculation could reduce the nitrite content of pickled mustard. The pickled mustard inoculated with ZJ316 exhibited more volatile components. ZJ316 could modulate the microbial community during pickled mustard fermentation ZJ316 as a starter could inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
The potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ZJ316 (ZJ316) as a starter culture for quality improvement and microbial community regulation in pickled mustard fermentation was elucidated in this study. Our results show that ZJ316 can deter the occurrence of nitrite peaks and maintain the nitrite content of pickled mustard at a low level (0.34 mg/kg). The headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry results indicate that ZJ316 gives a good flavor to pickled mustard. According to the 16S rDNA results, Firmicutes were the predominant microbiota after inoculation with ZJ316, and the abundances of Citrobacter, Enterobacter, and Proteus decreased simultaneously. In addition, antibacterial activity analysis showed that the supernatant of pickled mustard inoculated with ZJ316 had a significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus D48, Escherichia coli DH5α, and Listeria monocytogenes LM1. In conclusion, L. plantarum ZJ316 has potential for use as an ideal starter in the process of vegetable fermentation.

Abstract
The volatile fraction of plant-based foods provides useful functional information concerning sample-related variables such as plant genotype and phenotype expression, pedoclimatic and harvest conditions, transformation/processing technologies, and can be informative about the sensory quality. In this respect, the enantiomeric recognition of the chiral compounds increases the level of information in profiling studies, being the biosynthesis of native compounds often stereo-guided. Chiral native volatiles mostly show an enantiomeric excess that enables origin authentication or support correlation studies between chemical patterns and sensory profiles. This study focuses, for the first time, on the enantiomeric composition of a large set of chiral compounds within the complex volatilome of Corylus avellana L. belonging to different cultivars (Tonda Gentile Romana, Tonda Gentile Trilobata, Anakliuri) and harvested in different geographical areas (Italian and Georgian). Besides native components profiled in raw kernels, volatiles formed after technological treatment (i.e., roasting) are also considered. Headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with enantioselective gas chromatography-mass spectrometry enables the accurate tracking and annotation of about 150 compounds across many samples. The results show that chiral compounds have diagnostic distribution patterns within hazelnut volatilome with cultivar and harvest region playing the major role. Moreover, being some of these chiral molecules also key-aromas, their distribution has a decisive impact on the sensory properties of the product. In particular, the enantiomeric composition of (E)-5-methyl-2-hepten-4-one (filbertone) resulted to be discriminant for origin authentication. The enantiomeric distribution showed, according to literature, an excess of the (S)-enantiomer in both raw and roasted samples volatilome with larger differences in raw samples. The amount of both (R) and (S)-filbertone increases during roasting; the most marked increase for (R)-enantiomer is observed in Italian samples, thus supporting evidence of better hedonic properties and more pleasant odor and aroma.

Aroma Blueprint: Potent Odorants Signatures in the Volatilome of High Quality Hazelnuts. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:840028.

Abstract
The volatilome of hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.) encrypts information about phenotype expression as a function of cultivar/origin, post-harvest practices, and their impact on primary metabolome, storage conditions and shelf-life, spoilage, and quality deterioration. Moreover, within the bulk of detectable volatiles, just a few of them play a key role in defining distinctive aroma (i.e., aroma blueprint) and conferring characteristic hedonic profile. In particular, in raw hazelnuts, key-odorants as defined by sensomics are: 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine (musty and nutty); 2-acetyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (caramel); 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (popcorn-like); 2-acetyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (roasted, caramel); 3-(methylthio)-propanal (cooked potato); 3-(methylthio)propionaldehyde (musty, earthy); 3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol/linalool (citrus, floral); 3-methyl-4-heptanone (fruity, nutty); and 5-methyl-(E)-2-hepten-4-one (nutty, fruity). Dry-roasting on hazelnut kernels triggers the formation of additional potent odorants, likely contributing to the pleasant aroma of roasted nuts. Whiting the newly formed aromas, 2,3-pentanedione (buttery); 2-propionyl-1-pyrroline (popcorn-like); 3-methylbutanal; (malty); 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (caramel); dimethyl trisulfide (sulfurous, cabbage) are worthy to be mentioned. The review focuses on high-quality hazelnuts adopted as premium primary material by the confectionery industry. Information on primary and secondary/specialized metabolites distribution introduces more specialized sections focused on volatilome chemical dimensions and their correlation to cultivar/origin, post-harvest practices and storage, and spoilage phenomena. Sensory-driven studies, based on sensomic principles, provide insights on the aroma blueprint of raw and roasted hazelnuts while robust correlations between non-volatile precursors and key-aroma compounds pose solid foundations to the conceptualization of aroma potential.

Untargeted profiling and differentiation of geographical variants of wine samples using headspace solid-phase microextraction flow-modulated comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with the support of tile-based Fisher ratio analysis. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1662:462735.

Abstract
The volatile fraction of food, also called the food volatilome, is increasingly used to develop new fingerprinting approaches. The characterization of the food volatilome is important to achieve desired flavor profiles in food production processes, or to differentiate different products, with winemaking being one popular area of interest. In the present research, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS SPME) coupled to flow-modulated comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (FM GC×GC-TOFMS) was used to characterize geographical-based differences in the volatilome of five white "Grillo" wines (of Sicilian origin), comprising the five sample classes. All wines were produced with the same vinification method in 2019. To minimize the influence of minor bottle-to-bottle differences, three bottles of the same wine were randomly selected, and three samples were collected per bottle, resulting in nine sample replicates per wine. Particular emphasis was devoted to the operational conditions of a novel low duty cycle flow modulator. A fast FM GC×GC-TOFMS method with a modulation period of 700 ms and a re-injection period of 80 ms was developed. Following, the instrumental software was exploited to identify class-distinguishing analytes in the dataset via tile-based Fisher ratio analysis (i.e., ChromaTOF Tile). A tile size of 10 modulations (7 s) on the first dimension and 45 spectra (300 ms) on the second dimension was used to encompass average peak widths and to account for minor retention time shifting. Off-line software was used to apply an ANOVA test. A p-value of 0.01 was applied in order to select the most important class-distinguishing analytes, which were input to principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA scores plot showed distinct clustering of the wines according to geographical origin, although the loadings revealed that only a few analytes were necessary to differentiate the wines. However, a comprehensive flavor profile assessment underscored the importance of all the information output by the ChromaTOF Tile software.
