The volatile composition of veal has yet to be reported and is one of the important factors determining meat character and quality. To identify the most important aroma compounds in veal from Holstein bull calves fed one of three diets, samples were subjected to solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Most of the important odorants were aldehydes and alcohols. For group A (veal calves fed entirely on milk for 90 d before slaughter), the most abundant compound class was the aldehydes (52.231%), while that was alcohols (26.260%) in group C (veal calves fed starter diet for at least 60 d before slaughter). In both classes the absolute percentages of the volatile compounds in veal were different indicating that the veal diet significantly (
p
<0.05) affected headspace volatile composition in veal as determined by principal component analysis (PCA). Twenty three volatile compounds showed significance by using a partial least-squared discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) (VIP>1). The establishment of the global volatile signature of veal may be a useful tool to define the beef diet that improves the organoleptic characteristics of the meat and consequently impacts both its taste and economic value.
Introduction
Veal is more tender and juicy than fully aged beef, yet a detailed characterization of its volatile components is currently missing in the literature (
Mao ., 2011
). The volatile composition of meat is one of the most important factors that determine its taste, character, and quality (
Gorraiz ., 2002
;
Tan ., 2004
). Consumers continue to demand high-quality and consistent meats at a reasonable price (
Stetzer ., 2008
). The sensory traits that mostly affect consumer acceptability of beef are tenderness and flavor (
Robbins ., 2003a
,
b
). To date, more than 1000 volatile compounds contributing to the odor of cooked meat have been identified (
Lee ., 2012
;
Rivas-Cañedo ., 2009
;
Wang ., 2006
;
Watkins ., 2012
). As with many food products the aroma of beef is influenced by hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) belonging to different chemical families including ketones, esters, aldehydes, alcohols, acids, carbonyl compounds, sulphur compounds, and many others (
Moon ., 2006
;
Tan ., 2004
).
The Maillard reaction, thiamin degradation, and lipid oxidation are the main reactions that generate flavor when meat is cooked (
Calkins ., 2007
;
Koutsidis ., 2008a
,
b
;
Varavinit ., 2000
). It showed that benzene and furan compounds were stewed beef flavor components (
Shi ., 2011
) and 4-hydroxy-2, 5-dimethyl-3 (2H)-furanone and 4-hydroxyl-5-methyl-3 (2H)-furanone were very important for high impact beef flavor (
Guth ., 1994
). Then, many of the VOCs and SVOCs are generally present in trace amounts (from several mg/L to a few ng/L, or even less), which means that an effective extraction technique to enrich or concentrate the analytes as well as a sensitive detection scheme are required for proper measurement. Previously, several methodologies involving static headspace analysis (
Guth ., 1994
), purge and trap (
Insausti ., 2005
), distillation/extraction techniques (
Gasser ., 1988
), and concentration on solidphase supports (solid-phase extraction-SPE) followed by analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (
Ruiz ., 1998
) have been widely proposed and used to establish the aroma profile of beef. An artificial nose (an electronic nose) was used to give an objective basis for odor and flavor identification that correlates with human sensory experience (
Wilkes ., 2000
).
Nevertheless, these methodologies have important limitations including their relatively low reproducibility, low selectivity, and loss of analytes during concentration. Additionally, they require the use of toxic and expensive solvents, and are time consuming and labor-intensive. More recently, solvent-free methodologies that overcome these drawbacks have been widely used, such as solidphase microextraction (SPME) (
Watkins ., 2012
). The SPME methodology is very suitable for organic analytical chemistry because it is a fast, simple, and sensitive procedure that eliminates the use of organic solvents and combines sampling, extraction, and concentration into a single step, substantially shortening analysis time. For these reasons, there are many applications of SPME in food analysis. While this approach has been used to analyze the volatile composition of beef, to the best of our knowledge, there were not the documents which determined the volatile composition in veal, yet. This study reports the development of a reliable and solvent-free SPME-GC-MS methodology to establish the global volatile signature of veal. “Unsupervised” principal component analysis (PCA) and “Supervised” partial least-squared discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) were used to process the GC-MS data to determine which volatile compounds show significance in veal.
Materials and Methods
- Materials
The divinylbenzene/Carboxen®/polydimethylsilicone (50/30 μm DVB/CAR/PDMS) SPME fiber (Cat. no. 57329-U) glass vials were purchased from Supelco, Inc. (Australia). The SPME fiber was pre-conditioned at 250℃ for 1 h according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
- Experimental animals and samples
Fifteen 2-3 d old Holstein bull calves with the birth weight from 35.01 to 37.77 kg (mean live weight [LW] = 36.14 kg) were selected, pre-fed entirely on milk for 5-8 d and randomly divided into three groups: (A) whole milk feeding group; (B) quantitative feeding group of whole milk and calf starter diet; (C)
ad libitum
feeding group of whole milk and calf starter diet. Each group contained 5 animals. The quantities of milk and starter were offered at 8% LW of calves (the exact experimental quantity for milk and starter diet was shown in
Table 1
). Whole milk was purchased from the dairy farm of Gansu Agricultural University for daily feeding of the calves. Calf no. 1 pellet diet was purchased from the Boya Feed Co., Ltd, China. Calf no. 1 pellet diet contained (as fed basis): corn grain (460 g/kg), wheat bran (150 g/kg), whey powder (50 g/kg), soybean meal (250 g/kg), molasses (55 g/kg), CaHPO
4
(10 g/kg) mineral/vitamin premix (20 g/kg), and limestone (5 g/kg).

Grouping of Holstein bull calves and daily average feeding per animal
All animals were slaughtered after 90 d. A hundred grams of fresh veal longissimus dorsi muscle where the branched-chain fatty acids are present at subthreshold odour levels (Brennand
et al
., 1992) were collected, homogenized, mixed together in each feeding group. Samples were stored at −18℃ for later use.
This study was performed in the dairy division of the animal science training center at Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou, China. Experimental procedures and animal holding facilities respected the relevant animal protection legislation of China (Regulations on the management of laboratory animal 1988, State Scientific and Technological Commission of the People’s Republic of China; Measures for the management of animal quarantine 2010, Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China). Animals were slaughtered at the experimental abattoir of Gansu Agricultural University (Lanzhou, China) by exsanguination after stunning with a cartridge-fired captive bolt stunner.
- SPME procedure
The samples were removed from the freezer and allowed to reach room temperature prior to analysis. A 10 g sample was placed in a vial to which 10 g of sodium chloride (NaCl) was added. NaCl had salting-out effect, in order to increase the organic volatile (
Shi ., 2011
;
Wei ., 2011
). The vials and their contents were pre-heated at 90±1℃ for 60 min in a thermostatted bath. Then the temperature was adjusted to 60±1℃ prior to the insertion of the DVB/CAR/PDMS SPME fiber into the headspace where it was held for 40 min (
Vasta ., 2007
). The fiber was then withdrawn and manually inserted into the GC injector to allow the adsorbed compounds to be transferred to the analytical column. The fiber was held in the injector for 15 min.
- GC-MS analysis
The volatile compounds were separated using an OV-1701 MS fused silica capillary column (60 m × 0.25 mm i.d. × 0.25 μm film thickness, Chromatographic Technology R&D, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) in an Agilent GC-MS system (Agilent Technologies, USA) utilizing a model 6890N gas chromatograph and a model 5973N mass selective detector. The GC oven temperature was initially held at 50℃ for 1 min, increased at a rate of 3.5℃/min to 220℃ where it was held for a further 20 min. For SPME, the injector, heated at 260℃, was held in the splitless mode for the first 2 min of the analysis and then in the split mode (20:1) for the remainder of the analysis. The SPME fiber remained in the injector for 15 min to clean the fiber with a solvent delay time of 3.5 min. Helium was used as the carrier gas with a constant flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The MS was operated in electron ionisation mode (70 eV) and data was acquired in full scan mode for range of 30 to 550 m/z. The temperature of the source and the detector were 150 and 230℃, respectively, while the MS transfer line was 280℃.
- Multivariate data analysis and data processing
Compounds were identified by comparing the mass spectra to those found in the NIST 05 mass spectral library (NIST, 2005 software, Mass Spectral Search Program V.2.0 d; NIST 2005, USA) by the match and the relative match (R. match) 80% (
Qi ., 2010
). The GC peak areas for each compound were calculated using the total ion chromatogram, assuming a relative response factor of one for each compound. The results of the volatile analysis were reported as percentages, representing the proportion of each identified peak to the total area of identified peaks in each chromatogram.
The resulting datasets were then imported into SIMCAP 11.5 (Umetrics, Sweden) for multivariate statistical analyses. All imported data were Pareto-scaled for the multivariate analysis. First, principal components analysis (PCA) was conducted on the spectra of veal samples to discern the presence of inherent similarities in spectral profiles. Next, a PLS-DA was used to maximize covariance between the measured data (peak intensities in GC-MS spectra, X matrix) and the response variable (predictive classifications, Y matrix) by searching for X variables that correlated with class membership and thus indicated that the response variable Y can be predicted from X.
PLS-DA was also applied to the relative concentration data of assigned volatile compounds. The variable importance in the projection (VIP) plot was then used to identify which volatile compound contributed most to clustering or trends observed in the data.
- Statistical analyses
The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 19 for Windows (SPSS Inc., IBM Corporation, USA). Oneway Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to test differences between groups (A, B and C) for all variables studied by VIP>1. Differences with a
p
-value of 0.05 were considered significant. Assays were performed in quintuplicate, and the results were expressed as mean±SD.
Results and Discussion
- Comparison of samples
More than 125 compounds were detected from longissimus dorsi muscle of veal fed 3 different feeding treatment using SPME with GC-MS. Through comparison to the NIST spectral library, a total of 9 ketones, 16 aldehydes, 11 alcohols, 9 hydrocarbons and 9 other compounds were identified. Fourty seven of the 125 peaks gave a definitive match in group A. These peaks accounted for 92.71% of all the compounds. Similarly, 50 and 44 compounds were identified in group B and C; their content accounted for 96.05% and 76.91%, respectively (
Table 2
).

Aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, and hydrocarbons were the four main classes of compounds identified in the veal samples. For group A, the most abundant compound class was the aldehydes (52.231%), followed by the alcohols (20.890%), hydrocarbons (5.296%), and the ketones (3.749%). A similar trend was observed with group B and C, but the percentages of four classes were different. In group B, the aldehydes, alcohols, hydrocarbons and the ketones were 49.631%, 22.558%, 6.308% and 3.053%, respectively. They were 31.247%, 22.260%, 8.105% and 2.497% in group C, respectively. That is, the total GC peak area percentage content (%) of the aldehydes was the highest in group A and lowest in group C. The ketones showed the same trend as the aldehydes. However, the alcohols and hydrocarbons showed the opposite trend. The percentage content (%) of alcohols was in the highest in group C and lowest in group A, and hydrocarbons’ was as the same. It suggested that marked differences existed between the proportions of the extracted compounds by SPME that were common to three groups.
- PCA and PLS-DA
Here, “Unsupervised” PCA and “Supervised” PLS-DA were used to process the GC-MS data. PCA and PLS-DA were used because they cope well with highly multivariate, noisy, collinear, and possibly incomplete data. PCA is an unsupervised pattern recognition method initially used to discern the presence of inherent similarities in spectral profiles (Rivas-Cañedo
et al
., 2009). The results are displayed as score plots indicating the scatter of the samplessimilar volatile compositions are clustered together and different compositions are dispersed. In the PCA scores, each point represents an individual sample, and further composition differences are indicated by the PCA loading plots. Therefore, PCA offers a clear visual representation of the differences among the samples. It shows clear separation among the groups (R

Here samples A1-A5 clustered together similar to B1-B5 and C1-C5. There were some compounds that did not definitely belong in groups A, B, or C while others did. The scatter 3D plot shows a clear discrimination between group A, group B, and group C (
Fig. 2
).

Next, PLS-DA was performed to reduce the possible contribution of intergroup variability and to further improve the separation between the samples. The PLS-DA analysis calculates models that differentiate groups or classes and among compounds. In the PLS-DA model, the samples from the different groups were sorted into different classes using score plots, and the compounds that contribute to the classification were identified in loading plots. These showed the importance of each variable to the classification. Each score plot has a loading plot associated with it, which makes it possible to identify the spectral regions (compounds) that are responsible for the observed sample clustering. The biplots (score plot and loading plot;
Fig. 3
) showed a clear differentiation between the groups (R

According to results obtained by PCA and PLS-DA, the group A was mainly characterized by the presence of 2-heptanone, butylidene-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone and octane. Moreover, these carbonyl compounds when present at concentration above their odour threshold could contribute with fruity, sweet and flowery notes. (E)-2-decenal, 1-octanol and 2-pentyl-furan were the important flavor compounds in group B. For group C, 2,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-phenol, hexyl-benzene and 1-(2-nitropropyl)-cyclohexanol were the main flavor substances. The flavors were dissimilar because of the different flavor substances in three groups.
Twenty three volatile compounds showed significance through VIP values (VIP>1) (
Table 3
) including 10 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 3 alcohols, 3 hydrocarbons and 3 others. Carbonyl compounds were quantitatively the largest group contributed most for flavor in veal. Of these, fifteen were common to the 3 groups. 2-dodecenal, (E)-2-heptenal, 2,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanol did not exist in group A. (E)-2-heptenal, 1,2,4-trimethyl-cyclohexane, n-butyl-benzenesulfonamide were only in group B, and (Z)- 4-heptenal, 3-butylidene-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone occurred in group A, only. This multivariate statistical analysis showed a clear distinction among the 3 kinds of veal (
Table 3
).

The volatile compounds detected in the three groups could be produced by two ways-one consisting of volatile components produced by Maillard reactions and the other consisting of volatile components formed through lipid oxidation. The higher peak area values for the products of lipid oxidation could be ascribed to the mild cooking conditions (60℃), employed in this study. More severe cooking conditions were needed to produce more Maillard reactions products, which are more aromatic than lipid oxidation products (
Xu ., 2008
).
Aldehydes have low detection thresholds and small amounts can exert an outsize influence on odor (
Liu ., 2004
). Certain volatile aldehydes such as heptanal, (Z)-octanal, and nonanal are formed by oxidation of oleic acid. These volatiles are very important, because they have been found to impart a pleasant sweet and fruity odor to the meat, while heptanal is associated with the odor of potatoes. It reported that oxidation at high temperatures resulted in ketone and alcohol formation (
Tan ., 2004
). They are related to sweet odor notes. Aromatic hydrocarbons played an important role in the overall flavor of meat, even though none is individually responsible for meat odor (
Min ., 1979
). In addition, two sulfur compounds (N-butyl-benzenesulfonamide, 1-[2-Methyl-3-(methylthio) allyl]-cyclohex-2-enol) were identified. Sulfur compounds are important flavor substances with odor thresholds (
Wu ., 2001
). They were very important contributors to the flavor profile of cooked meat.
Conclusion
The composition of volatile flavor substances differs between the three veal groups; this may be due to the different diets. It showed similar result with Resconi
et al
. (2010) and Vasta
et al
. (2011). Our preliminary data suggested that the main flavor components of veal including (E)-2-nonenal, (E)-2-heptenal, 1,2,4-trimethyl-cyclohexane, N-butyl-benzenesulfonamide, 2-nonanone, 3-ethylbenzaldehyde, 2,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanol, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, (E)-2-octen-1-ol,toluene, 2-pentyl-furan, 3-butylidene-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone, undecanal, (E)-2-decenal, 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-methyl-Phenol, (Z)-4-heptenal, 1-octanol, pentadecanal, octane, 2-heptanone, octanal, and nonanal.
Our study has improved the understanding of the influence of the finishing diet on the volatile components contained in veal and contributes to the development of diets for veal that meet consumer expectations in different markets. It also provided a scientific reference for the future production of high-quality veal. However, the study of volatile substances of veal is still in its infancy. Further research using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) is needed for confirmation of our results.
