The aroma-active and off-flavor compounds of cooked rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were analyzed by sensory and instrumental analyses. Sensory analysis shows that the aromatic extract obtained by vacuum steam distillation was representative of rainbow trout odor. To obtain more information on odorants of volatile compounds, analyses were conducted on two gas chromatography columns of different polarities (DB-5 and DB-Wax). The results of the gas chromatography-olfactometry analysis showed that 38 odorous compounds were perceived when the DB-5 column was used and 36 with the DB-Wax column. Of these, 31 with the DB-5 and 28 with the DB-Wax were identified. (E)-2-Nonenal, 2-ethyl-hexanol, 2-methylisoborneol, geosmin, 2-methylnaphthalene, and 8-heptadecene were described as off-flavor compounds by the sniffing assessors. The most powerful off-flavor compounds identified in the extract were 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin, which were described as strong musty and earthy odors, respectively.
