Formation Mechanism of Characteristic Flavor Substances in 3-Year-Old Diannan Small-Ear Pig Ham: Lipidomics and Flavoromics Study

Diannan small-ear pig (DSP) ham is known for exceptional flavor. However, the compo- sition of flavor components and the mechanisms underlying flavor development remain unclear. In this study, we employed lipidomics, flavoromics, and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry technologies to investigate the com- position and formation mechanism of DSP ham flavor compounds. On a 10-point scale, the results demonstrated that DSP ham had good flavor qualities with...
