Asterisks refer to key volatile compounds (ROAV ≥ 1) in fresh ground (FG) flour. aThreshold odour values in ppb (Van Gemert, 2011). bKey odorants were retrieved from Flavournet (Acree and Arn, 2004). nd, non-detectable. Only flavour components with ROAV ≥ 0.1 in FG flour samples are presented. Volatiles are separated according to their origin, either unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), amino acids (AA), or others (OTH).
