Refining and conching alter the volatile composition of dark chocolate — Revealing profile changes in aroma-active volatiles and volatile organic compounds by Yvonne Guckenbiehl, Eva Ortner, Isabell Rothkopf, Andrea Buettner

“…Overall, flavor dilution (FD) factors of up to 6 561, which refers to the maximum dilution of the distillates at which the odorants could be perceived, were determined, whereas dimethyl trisulphide, 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine, 3-(methylthio)propanal, 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine, 3-methylbutanoic acid, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one, γ-decalactone, 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one, acetic acid, and 3-phenylpropanoic acid were among the aroma-active compounds eliciting the highest FD factors in the samples. Generally, the number of compounds detected, and the FD factors determined decreased along the processing steps, whereas FD factors of aldehydes partially increased as these are generated, inter alia, by lipid oxidation. …”
