Key odorants of wheat bread crust and crumb ↗

A review of bread aroma chemistry reports 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, (E)-2-nonenal, 3-methylbutanal, 2,3-butanedione, methional and (Z)-2-nonenal as primary odorants of wheat bread crust, with 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline suggested as the key crust odorant behind its cracker-like note; the crumb has a different set, and these odorants are generated mainly during baking.

Wheat bread; crust and crumb differ, and odorants depend on ingredients, fermentation and baking.
