Odor activity values (OAVs) are frequently applied to evaluate the contributions of aroma compounds. The compound with OAV > 1 was considered as key a aroma-active compound, which significantly contributed to the formation of aroma characteristics. The OAV was calculated as the ratio of the dividing the calculated concentration of each aroma compound to its odor threshold (OT) in water. The aroma characteristics and OTs were taken from previous literature [6,7,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21] and online databases (FEMA, https://www.femaflavor.org/ and TGSC, http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/search2.html (accessed on 1 March 2022)).
