Volatile profile of quinoa and lentil flour under fungal fermentation and drying
FOOD CHEMISTRY(2024)
Abstract
Solid-state fermentation reportedly improves the nutritional and sensory properties of legumes and pseudocer-eals. This study examined changes in the volatile profile using HS-SPME-GC-MS of two varieties of lentil and quinoa flour fermented with Pleurotus ostreatus and dried using hot-air drying and lyophilisation. Fermentation significantly increased the volatile profile. Pardina lentil flour showed a 570% increase in its volatile profile, and 10 compounds were created. In white quinoa, the total area rose from 96 to 4500, and 30 compounds were created. Compounds such as 1-octen-3-ol, benzaldehyde, 3-octanone and hexanal were generated during fermentation, providing a sweet, grassy, cocoa flavour. Hot-air drying led to decrease of over 40% in total peak area. Dried fermented flour retained higher levels of compounds that provide a sweet, cocoa aroma. Air-drying temperature had no significant influence on the volatile profile. This a allows the inclusion of these flours in a wide variety of food products.
