The 50th volume of Progress in Botany appears in new guise. In cooperation with Springer-Verlag we have changed from the less attractive typewriter composition to the direct reproduction of a manuscript which was writ ten by means of a text editing system and produced by a laser printer. We, the editors, should like to take the appearance of Volume 50 as the occasion for a few short remarks. Our younger readers are perhaps not aware that our Book Series was founded in 1931 by Fritz von Wettstein, based on the following thoughts and considerations, aptly formulated by him in the Preface to the first volume. "One of the greatest dangers threatening progress in the science of botany is the absolutely unbelievable growth in volume of the literature. The quality of journals, books and individual works that are daily sent to us makes it impossible for anyone person to maintain a general view of the progress made in botany in all the specialized fields, let alone to find time for results from associated su bjects. For varying reasons, every botanist must find this state of matters insupportable. Let us endeavor, in the general interest, to retain a wide background of knowledge, and not become limited specialists. The vitally necessary connections between the specialized fields can only flourish, or even exist, if the general view of botany as a whole can be maintained.
The meaningful correlation of sensory data with analytical data is one of the most challenging tasks in flavor research. In beef stocks in particular, due to the presence of low levels of aroma-active compounds and the taste contribution of non-volatile molecules to the typical “juiciness” character, the consumer encounters a complex matrix situation. The goal of our study was to carry out a comprehensive analysis of all relevant flavor molecules and the correlation to human sensory data. A technique recently developed at the IPB and termed “reverse metabolomics” was used to link biological activity (i.e., sensory data) with variations in the metabolic profile (i.e., analytical data). We used this methodology for the first time to correlate sensorial attributes and GC-MS, LC-MS, and NMR data in culinary beef stocks. Reverse metabolomics was applied to study the link between sensory and chemical composition in a series of freshly prepared culinary beef stocks. A set of 10 different beef stocks was prepared. The degree of liking of the samples was recorded on a hedonic 1–9 scale. Analysis of the stocks was performed by LC-MS, GC-MS, and NMR. 1H-NMR data directly obtained from the meat stock were very complex. Analysis of this dataset by reverse metabolomics revealed some basic structural elements of the key taste compounds, such as carnosine or anserine. The reverse metabolomics correlation of quantitative data with partiality revealed the importance of a set of compounds. This relevance of these compounds has been confirmed by additional sensory experiments which showed an increase in perceived juiciness.
