Popis: Quantification of 14 odorants and calculation of their odour activity values were the basis of an aroma model reflecting most of the odour notes of black pepper. Omission tests indicated α- and β-pinene, myrcene, α-phellandrene, limonene, linalool, methylpropanal, 2- and 3-methylbutanal, butyric acid and 3-methylbutyric acid as key odorants. A storage experiment revealed that for ground black pepper, losses of α-pinene, limonene and 3-methylbutanal were mainly responsible for deficits in the pepper-like, citrus-like, terpene-like and malty notes after 30 days at room temperature. The musty/mouldy off-flavour of a sample of black pepper was caused by a mixture consisting of 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine (2.9 μg/kg) and 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine (0.2 μg/kg).
