This study analyzed the effects of thermal processing on volatiles and fatty acids in sweet corn. There were 27 volatiles measured in fresh samples, and 33, 21, and 19 volatiles identified in the steaming, blanching, and roasting groups, respectively. Relative odor activity values (ROAVs) showed that characteristic aroma-active volatiles of sweet corn after thermal treatments included: (E)-2-nonenal, 1-octen-3-ol, beta-myrcene, dimethyl trisulfide, 1-(4,5-dihydro-2-thiazolyl)-ethanone, and d-limonene. Thermal treatments significantly increased the unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid and linolenic acid) of sweet corn by 110 to 183% compared to fresh samples. Meanwhile, many characteristic volatiles were found that derived from the oxidative cleavage of fatty acids. The sweet corn aroma obtained by steaming for 5 min was considered the closest to fresh corn. Our research provided insight into aroma composition of different thermally processed sweet corn and laid the foundation for further exploring the sources of aroma compounds in thermally processed sweet corn.
