O. Sjovall et al., ANALYSIS OF VOLATILES FORMED DURING OXIDATION OF EXTRUDED OATS, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 45(11), 1997, pp. 4452-4455
Moistened oat flour was extruded using various processing parameters i
nto two products, which were then stored for 18 weeks at 32 degrees C
and regularly analyzed by headspace gas chromatography. The formation
of 27 volatile compounds was followed using gas chromatography/mass sp
ectrometry. The major volatiles were hexanal, decane, 2-pentylfuran, a
nd nonanal. The relative amounts of major volatiles, especially hexana
l, increased during storage, which was enhanced by higher extrusion te
mperature.
