โฆ Synopsis
The volatile organic compounds released by Tuber melanosporum Vitt. and the variation induced by the storage temperature were determined by purge and trap methods. Two aldehydes (2-and 3-methylbutanal) and two alcohols (2-and 3-methylbutanol) play an impact role, while sulphur compounds, present at trace levels, may round o the ยฏavour. On storage all these compounds are lost by oxidation or evaporation, but at 08C a strong amylic fermentation occurs, resulting in an increase of the impact compounds concentrations.

The concentrations of the volatile components of the white truffle (Tuber magnaturn Pico), determined by purge and trap methods, showed the impact role of 2,4-dithiapentane. The degradation of the aroma showed great dependence on the storage conditions. At 0ยฐC amyl alcohols are released, while at ro
