Volatile Compounds Associated with Spoilage of Vacuum-Packaged Sliced Luncheon Meat by Brochothrix thermosphacta

By using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, seven volatile compounds were identified in vacuum-packaged sliced corned beef spoiled by Brochothrix thermosphacta under aerobic conditions. Acetoin and diacetyl appeared to be of major sensory significance.
