Lard imparts unique organoleptic properties that underpin its essential role in Chinese gastronomy: however, the specific lipid precursors contributing to its aroma remain unclear. This study explores the flavor formation mechanism of lard by comparing its texture and aroma at two preparation temperatures, 130 °:C and 100 °:C. We identified a total of 256 and 253 lipids at these temperatures, respectively, with triacylglycerols (TGs) and diacylglycerols (DGs) being the predominant lipid species. An HS-GC-IMS analysis detected 67 volatile compounds, predominantly aldehydes, acids, and alcohols. A subsequent Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) identified 49 discriminatory lipids and 20 differential volatiles. A correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between aldehydes and unsaturated triglycerides in lard, with TG (16:1-16:1-18:0), TG (17:2-18:1-18:1), TG (16:1-17:1-18:1), and TG (18:1-18:1-20:1) identified as characteristic markers at both temperatures. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between ketones and alcohols and phospholipids and sphingolipids containing unsaturated fatty acid chains. TGs and glycerophospholipids (GPs), rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, are likely key precursors driving the formation of distinct flavors during lard processing. This study elucidates the mechanistic interactions between lipids and volatile organic compounds, providing a framework for optimizing lard processing protocols and flavor modulation.
