Objective

To compare the volatile flavor compounds in light and dark soy sauce by headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-orbitrap-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-Orbitrap-MS).

Methods

The study used soy sauce as the research object. Parameters such as extraction temperature, equilibration time, extraction time, salt concentration and sample volume were optimized to establish a method for determining volatile compounds in soy sauce by HS-SPME-GC-Orbitrap-MS. Based on this method, volatile aroma compounds in light and dark soy sauce were identified and semi-quantified. Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis were used to analyze the differences between the light and dark soy sauce.

Results

A total of 124 volatile aroma compounds were identified in light soy sauce, and 88 in dark soy sauce using HS-SPME-GC-Orbitrap-MS. Through orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (variable importance for the projection≥1) and the Kruskal-Wallis H test (P<0.05), 5 kinds of key aroma compounds were further screened:Phenethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, 2-methyl-1-butanol, pentanal and 4-ethyl guaiacol.

Conclusion

This study establishes a HS-SPME-GC-Orbitrap-MS method that can efficiently identify volatile components in soy sauce. By applying this method combined with chemometrics, 5 differential compounds between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce are screened out. Among them, the relative content of phenyleth anol, ethyl acetate and 2-methyl-1-butanol is higher in light soy sauce, endowing it with fruity and alcoholic characteristics. Meanwhile, the relative content of pentanal and 4-ethyl guaiacol is higher in dark soy sauce, contributing to its rich fatty and soy sauce-like aroma. The findings provide reference data for quality evaluation in the soy sauce industry and offer a new theoretical basis for further research on the flavor characteristics of soy sauces produced by different fermentation processes or for different uses.
