註釋Model studies have been performed with individual citrus related aroma compounds such as citral, α-terpineol, α-terpinene, and others, in order to de-couple the complexity of citrus flavors. Degradation pathways and transformation rates have been determined for the most relevant compounds leading to the most prominent off-note compound p-methyl acetophenone. Citral is one of the main precursors. Catechins (flavan-3-ols) are often used as antioxidants for stabilization of flavor mixtures. The reactivity of catechins towards aldehydes is underestimated. In our study, we demonstrate the formation of covalent catechin–citral adducts – a reaction that might influence the aroma stability of citrus flavors in the presence of catechins. As a result, the freshness of citrus flavors and stability of key aroma-active substances can be improved, on the result of this study.
