Volatile Compounds Produced in Sterile Fish Muscle (Sebastes melanops) by Pseudomonas perolens1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Volatile compounds produced by Pseudomonas perolens ATCC 10757 in sterile fish muscle (Sebastes melanops) were identified by combined gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Compounds positively identified included methyl mercaptan, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, 3-methyl-1-butanol, butanone, and 2-methoxy-3-isopropylpyrazine. Compounds tentatively identified included 1-penten-3-ol and 2-methoxy-3-sec-butylpyrazine. The substituted pyrazine derivative 2-methoxy-3-isopropylpyrazine was primarily responsible for the musty, potato-like odor produced by P. perolens.
