Abstract
Coppa Piacentina is an Italian protected designation of origin (PDO) dry-cured product obtained from the muscle of pork neck and ripened for at least six months. Metabolomics- and volatilomics-based strategies, combined with a chemical characterization of free amino acids were applied to identify biomarkers of long-ripened Coppa Piacentina PDO. Long ripening induced a significantly increase of total free amino acids, mainly represented by glutamic acid, involved in the umami taste perception. Untargeted metabolomics, performed using UHPLC-HRMS, allowed to identify 32 putative gamma-glutamyl-peptides, known as main contributors to the kokumi taste. Unsupervised and supervised multivariate statistics observed a clear modification of these peptides over the ripening, with gamma-glutamyl-peptides which significantly increased in long-ripened samples. A volatilomics-based strategy, conducted with GCxGC-MS, was then performed, and 93 different compounds were identified, with aldehyde and ketones deriving from the lipid auto-oxidation which increased according to ripening.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
