This study investigated the effects of three Lactobacillus Plantarum strains on the aroma profiles of pasteurized litchi juice. The results showed that pasteurization weakened the flavor profile of the juice, while LP fermentation effectively promoted flavor formation. Moreover, the combination of GC-IMS and GC-MS analysis provided a better understanding of the impact of pasteurization and fermentation on the aroma of litchi juice.
Three Lactobacillus Plantarum (LP), namely LP28, LP226 and LPC2W, were employed to investigate the effect on the aroma profiles of pasteurized litchi juice using E-nose, GC-IMS, GC-MS, and sensory evaluation. The E-nose results showed that pasteurization weakened the flavor profile of litchi juice, while LP fermentation effectively promoted flavor formation. The GC-MS analysis demonstrated that pasteurization significantly reduced the content of alcohols (28.51%), especially geraniol and citronellol, which give litchi juices a fruity and floral aroma. Different LP fermentation enhances the characteristic aroma and produces some new compounds that give it a strong fruity and citrus-like aroma. Moreover, 37 aroma-active compounds (OAV>1) indicated that the linalool (OAV 7504) was the highest, followed by (Z)-rose oxide (OAV 4265), 1-octen-3-ol (OAV 1055) and geraniol (OAV 764), which jointly form the main characteristic flavor. More esters were identified by GC-IMS, indicating the advantage of the combined approach for a better understanding of the impact of pasteurization and fermentation on the litchi juice. The sensory evaluation confirmed that the aroma attributes of fruity, citruslike, floral, sweet and litchi-like were stronger for the samples fermented by LP28 than those for the other samples. The combination strategy used in this study would facilitate the awareness of litchi juice aroma and broaden our insight into the deep processing of litchi.
