Abstract

The effect of frying and smoking methods on the volatile flavor compounds profiles of grass carp, golden pompano, threadfin bream, and brushtooth lizardfish were determined in this study. A total of 84 substances were identified by GC/MSD. The samples obtained using frying and smoking methods have the following numbers of volatile components: 25 (RF), 26 (FF) and 19 (SF) in grass carp, 23 (RF), 10 (FF) and 15 (SF) in lizardfish, 22 (RF), 18 (FF) and 26 (SF) in golden pompano and 26 (RF), 21 (FF) and 30 (SF) in threadfin bream samples. Smoked golden pompano and threadfin bream samples had the highest values (328.478 and 351.666μg/ kg) compared to fried and raw samples, while raw grass carp and lizardfish samples had the highest total amount of volatile compounds (461.331 and 348.826μg/ kg) compared to other cooked samples. The procedure that had the biggest impact on the volatile
