In order to compare the differences of volatile flavor characteristics in different varieties of walnut oil, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of walnut oil from five different walnut varieties in Northwest China were detected and analyzed using headspace gas chromatography\u2013ion mobility spectrometry (HS\u2013GC\u2013IMS). The results showed that 41 VOCs in total were identified in walnut oil from five different varieties, including 14 aldehydes, 8 alcohols, 4 ketones, and 2 esters. Walnut oil (WO) extracted from the \u201cZha343\u201d variety was most abundant in VOCs. The relative odor activity value (ROAV) analysis showed that aldehydes were the main aroma substances of walnut oil; specifically, hexanal, pentanal, and heptanal were the most abundant. Fingerprints and heat map analysis indicated that WO extracted from the \u201cXin2\u201d, \u201c185\u201d, \u201cXin\u2019guang\u201d, and \u201cZha343\u201d varieties, but not from the \u201cXinfeng\u201d variety, had characteristic markers. The relative content differences of eight key VOCs in WO from five varieties can be directly compared by Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests, among which the distribution four substances, hexanal (M), hexanal (D), pentanal (M), (E)-2-hexanal (M), presented extremely significant differences (P&lt;0.01). According to the results of the principal component analysis (PCA), WO extracted from the \u201cZha343\u201d variety was distinct from the other four varieties; in addition, WO extracted from the \u201cXin2\u201d variety exhibited similarity to WO extracted from the \u201c185\u201d variety, and WO extracted from the \u201cXinfeng\u201d variety showed similarity to WO extracted from the \u201cXin\u2019guang\u201d variety. These results reveal that there are certain differences in the VOCs extracted from five different WO varieties, making it feasible to distinguish different varieties of walnut oil or to rapidly detect walnut oil quality based on its volatile substances profile.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules28072949","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]],"date-time":"2023-03-27T02:18:27Z","timestamp":1679883507000},"page":"2949","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Comparative Study on the Volatile Organic Compounds and Characteristic Flavor Fingerprints of Five Varieties of Walnut Oil in Northwest China Using Using Headspace Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6152-7250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lina","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Mechanization, Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Urumqi 830000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanlong","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Experimental Field of Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Urumqi 830000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meng","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, Tianjin 300453, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuanbo","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural Mechanization, Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Urumqi 830000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lwt.2012.10.021","article-title":"Effect of natural and synthetic antioxidants on the oxidative stability of walnut oil under different storage conditions","volume":"51","author":"Penci","year":"2013","journal-title":"LWT Food Sci.
