Headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was utilized to analyze ground samples of raw seeds (BR-Seed) and malted grain (BR-Malt) in technical triplicates (n = 3). A total of 30 volatile compounds were identified across samples (29 in BR-Seed, 24 in BR-Malt). Malting resulted in an overall attenuation of total volatile concentration. Aldehydes constituted the predominant chemical class in both raw seeds and malt, representing 60.13% and 63.00% of total volatilome mass, respectively. Ketones exhibited the most substantial decline during malting, decreasing from 12.50% of total volatiles in seeds to 3.69% in malt, with key off-flavor compounds such as 2-heptanone and 1-octen-3-ol dropping below detection or diminishing substantially. In both seeds and malt, 2-hexenal was present at the highest relative abundance, though its levels decreased 4.35-fold post-kilning (234.53 \u00b5g 2-undecanone equivalents to 53.93 \u00b5g 2-undecanone equivalents). Crucially, key staling aldehydes (trans-2-nonenal and hexanal) were absent in the malted grain. These pilot-scale baseline findings demonstrate that malting could be an useful method of decreasing various volatiles from rye brome, possibly resulting in a different sensory profile that could support its further development in brewing and baking applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15193382","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]],"date-time":"2026-09-23T09:20:46Z","timestamp":1790155246000},"page":"3382","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Influence of Malting Procedure on Volatile Composition of Rye Brome (Bromus secalinus L.): A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4614-7177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alan","family":"Gasi\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cereals and Fermentation Technology, Wroc\u0142aw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Che\u0142mo\u0144skiego 37, 51-630 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2740-1608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"El\u017cbieta","family":"Pytlarz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agroecology and Plant Production, Wroc\u0142aw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Grunwaldzki Square 24A, 50-363 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"\u015aniegowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cereals and Fermentation Technology, Wroc\u0142aw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Che\u0142mo\u0144skiego 37, 51-630 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oliwia","family":"Hamka\u0142o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agroecology and Plant Production, Wroc\u0142aw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Grunwaldzki Square 24A, 50-363 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0488-1479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Inna","family":"Mashevska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics, Plant Breeding and Seed Production, Wroc\u0142aw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Grunwaldzki Square 24A, 50-363 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Giemza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DLF Beet Seed ApS, H\u00f8jbyg\u00e5rdvej 31, 4960 Holeby, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3377-8372","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Klemens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Chemistry and Biocatalysis, Wroc\u0142aw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Norwida 25, 50-375 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Telmo","family":"Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gabinete de Apoio Laboratorial\u2014Ci\u00eancias da Vida, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias da Universidade de Lisboa, DBio, Campo Grande, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Kawa-Rygielska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cereals and Fermentation Technology, Wroc\u0142aw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Che\u0142mo\u0144skiego 37, 51-630 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"422","DOI":"10.1017\/wsc.2023.42","article-title":"Herbicide Resistance in Bromus Spp.: A Global Review","volume":"71","author":"Ribeiro","year":"2023","journal-title":"Weed Sci."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Pytlarz, E., and Gala-Czekaj, D.
