By application of the Sensomics approach on aroma distillates obtained from Oyster mushrooms, Shiitake mushrooms and Burgundy truffles key odor compounds in all three mushroom species could be revealed on a molecular basis for the first time. Compounds like 1-octen-3-one and -ol, typically found in mushrooms, however, did not play the most important role. Changes in concentrations of key odor compounds upon drying or thermal processing could be correlated with the degradation of aroma precursors. Formation pathways were reconstructed by adding different precursors to the mushroom substrate.
