Abstract:

Head space solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique was employed to extract volatile flavor compounds from the Chinese traditional food, Jinhua ham. Volatile flavor components of Jinhua ham were isolated and identified successfully by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A 75 μm carboxen/poly(dimethysiloxane) (CAR-PDMS) fiber was selected to be the optimum fiber among four different fibers. Optimum adsorption time was 40 min at 60 ℃. Aldehydes, carboxylic acids and acetones were the major flavor compounds of Jinhua ham.

Key words: gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Jinhua ham , volatile flavor compounds, head space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME)
