Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear all,

 

below are my few sugesstions or recomendations:

 

Manuscript ID: molecules-1032001

Title: An overview on truffle aroma and main volatile compounds

This review evaluate the aroma profiles of different species of truffles to deepen the knowledge about a complex odor of various truffles and an update of the analytical techniques to identify them.

Generally, it is a good written article.

 

L357 Pacioni et al., (2014) - delete comma

L424 Splivallo et al (2012) – add the point

L426 Costa et al. - , (2015) - delete comma

L 435 (NIST, WILEY, ADAMS, FFNSC…) – delete points

L448 Feng et al (2019) - add the point

L481 Pennazza 480 et al (2013) -  add the point

I recommend that the Table 2 contains a column with references.

The number of bibliographic sources is adequate, more than 50% of the total bibliographic sources are from the last 5 years.

Reviewer 2 Report

This review is interesting and the bibliography included is appropriate. However, I ask the authors to deepen the topic regarding the recognition of truffles from animals, such as wild boar and trained dogs. What are the molecules responsible for the identification? As a starting point, the authors could consider the work of Talou, T et al. 1990 Mycol Res. Letter to editor.

According to reviewer suggestion, an additional paragraph (1.4) has been inserted to the manuscript and we considered the reference Talou, et al. 1990.
