Abstract
A study was conducted to identify the composition of volatile compounds from traditional fermented shrimp called ‘terasi’. Terasi samples were collected from six regions of northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia namely Pekalongan, Batang, Kendal, Demak, Jepara, and Pati. Mass spectral interpretation showed that terasi from these regions could be identified to contain a total of 102 volatile compounds. Terasi from Pekalongan, Batang, Kendal, Demak, Jepara, and Pati, each contained nine, 21, 10, 29, 12, and 21 volatile compounds respectively. There were four similar volatile compounds from Demak, Jepara, and Pati samples, and two distinctive off odor in all six regions. © 2016 Penerbit UTM Press. All rights reserved.
