Abstract In order to determine the effects of different feeding modes on the volatile flavor and the Longissimus dorsi of yaks from Qinghai province, China, a total of 12 adult male yaks aged 2 to 3 years under the two feeding modes of grazing and feedlot (6 animals in either group) for 6 months were selected. Longissimus dorsi muscles from these animals were used as experimental materials. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to analyze the volatile flavor and fatty acid composition of the muscle samples. The results showed that 13 saturated fatty acids (SFA), 5 monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and 7 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were detected in either of the two groups. The percentages of fatty acids decreased in the following order: SFA (40.77%) > PUFA (35.15%) > MUFA (24.07%) for the grazing group, and SFA (44.72%) > MUFA (40.10%) > PUFA (15.18%) for the feedlot group. A total of 32 volatile flavor substances were detected in the two groups, including 4 ketones, 10 aldehydes, 2 acids, 1 ester, 5 alcohols, 2 olefins, and 8 aromatics, 26 of which were detected in the grazing group and 30 in the feedlot group. In summary, the fattening model has a greater impact on the volatile flavor and fatty acid composition of yak muscle.
