Abstract
The emerging field of cellular agriculture has accelerated the development of cell-cultivated adipose tissue as an additive to enhance the flavor of alternative meat products. However, there has been limited research to evaluate the sensory profile of in vitro-grown tissues compared to conventionally obtained animal fat. This study aimed to investigate the aromatic characteristics of cell-cultivated fat tissue as a flavor enhancer for meat alternatives. Porcine dedifferentiated fat (PDFAT) cells were clonally isolated and differentiated into adipocytes. This cultured adipose tissue was then analyzed alongside native porcine fat using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) coupled with descriptive sensory analysis by human consumers. This evaluation enabled quantitative and qualitative assessments of volatile compounds released during cooking for both in vitro and in vivo porcine fats. The volatile profiles generated during the cooking process and fatty aroma characteristics reported by sensory consumers were largely similar between the two fat sources, with some differences in select compounds and aroma attributes. Ultimately, the consumers found comparable overall liking scores reported between the conventional and cultured porcine fats. These findings provide valuable sensory evidence supporting the viability of cell-cultivated adipose tissue as a flavor component of meat alternatives, substituting for conventional animal fat.

Abstract
A chromatographic technique based on a chiral stationary phase (CSP) has been explored for enantioseparation. Herein, poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (poly(GMA)) brushes were grafted on the surface of silica gel via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP), followed by the introduction of vancomycin as a chiral selector. The as-synthesized material was characterized by elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), proving the formation of vancomycin-immobilized brushes. Then the resulting CSP was explored to separate 7 racemic drugs (bicalutamide, 1-benzyl-5-phenylbarbituric acid, chlorpheniramine maleate, fluoxetine hydrochloride, verapamil hydrochloride, benzoxazocine hydrochloride and isoprenaline hydrochloride) in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Several factors affecting the enantioseparation performance of the vancomycin-immobilized CSP, including the triethylamine (TEA) content in the buffer, pH value, content of organic solvent in the mobile phase, flow rate and injection volume, were mainly optimized. Under the optimal conditions, baseline separation of fluoxetine hydrochloride (RS = 2.52) was achieved, which was better than that on a commercial Chirobiotic V column, while enantioseparation of bicalutamide (RS = 1.01), chlorpheniramine maleate (RS = 0.77), 1-benzyl-5-phenylbarbituric acid (RS = 0.67), isoprenaline hydrochloride (RS = 0.73), verapamil hydrochloride (RS = 0.91) and benzoxazocine hydrochloride (RS = 1.03) was partly achieved. It was concluded that SI-ATRP is a robust way to fabricate vancomycin-based CSPs for enantioseparation.

de Jesus Filho M, Klein B, Wagner R, Godoy HT. Key aroma compounds of Canastra cheese: HS-SPME optimization assisted by olfactometry and chemometrics. Food Res Int 2021; 150:110788. [PMID: 34865803 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
An analytical method was developed to determine volatile compounds (VC) that contribute to the aroma of cheese from Serra da Canastra (Brazil) and evaluate them in three ripening stages (fresh, short-ripened, and ripened) via headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography (GC). Proximate and fatty acid compositions were determined to observe whether there would be changes during ripening. Multivariate designs were applied to optimize the extraction parameters of volatile compounds and assisted by GC olfactometry (GC-O) and chemometrics. The adopted strategy revealed that the best extraction condition requires 10 min of equilibration, 75.2 min of fiber exposure at 40 °C, and 1 g of sample. The data obtained evidenced the alteration of the abundance of volatile compounds, fatty acids, and proximate composition of Canastra cheese during ripening. The fatty acid profile of the samples was mainly composed of palmitic, oleic, and stearic acids. This dairy product is rich in volatile compounds and formed primarily by alcohols (n = 14), acids (n = 13), and esters (n = 11). Olfactometry indicated that the VCs that most affected the aroma of ripened Canastra cheese were acetic acid, isobutyric acid, butanoic acid, and ethyl hexanoate. The method developed effectively discriminated against Canastra cheeses at their different ripening stages.
