Abstract	:	Understanding almond flavor, in terms of both sensory aspects and chemistry, is essential for processors to maintain almond quality and to correctly identify acceptable or unacceptable product. This overview of the sensory and chemical characteristics of almond flavor discusses raw and heat-processed almonds, the volatile compounds generated upon heating, the aroma qualities associated with various odorants, and the use of descriptive sensory analysis for sweet almonds. Flavor development and off-flavors in almonds due to rancidity is also explored. The review examines the existing methods used to assess common nonvolatile as well as volatile indicators of lipid oxidation in almonds and the correlation of these indicators with consumer acceptance. Recent research on the relationship among volatile profile, rancidity indicators, and consumer acceptance is presented.
