Correlation Between Physicochemical Properties and Volatile Compound Profiles in Tilapia Muscles Subjected to Four Different Thermal Processing Techniques
Overview

This work studied the physicochemical properties and odor profiles of tilapia muscles after exposure to four types of thermal processing methods: microwaving, roasting, boiling, or steaming. The effect of thermal processing on textural properties followed a pH-water state-water content-tissue microstructure-mass loss-textural properties route, expressed in the following manner: microwaving > roasting > steaming ≈ boiling. After processing, muscle pH increased from 6.59 ± 0.10 to 6.73 ± 0.04-7.01 ± 0.06, and hardness changed from 1468.49 ± 180.77 g to 452.76 ± 46.94-10723.66 ± 2898.46 g. Gas chromatography-based E-nose analysis confirmed that these methods had significant odor fingerprint effects on the tilapia muscles. Finally, the combined analysis of headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, statistical MetaboAnalyst, and odor activity value showed that the microwaved, roasted, steamed, and boiled tilapia muscles had, respectively, three (hexanal, nonanal, and decanal), four (2-methyl-butanal, 3-methyl-butanal, decanal, and trimethylamine), one (2-methyl-butanal), and one (decanal) relatively important volatile compounds.
