| Summary: | Maillard reaction products (MRPs) with roasted/broth flavors were prepared and analyzed for the resulting flavor differences. The identification of volatile compounds in MRPs was carried out by GC-MS and GC × GC-ToF-MS. A total of 88 compounds were identified by GC-MS; 130 compounds were identified by GC × GC-ToF-MS, especially acids and ketones were identified. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to visualize the volatile compounds, and the roasted/broth flavors were differentiated. The contents and types of pyrazines were more in roasted flavors; thiol sulfides and thiophenes were more in broth flavors. All in all, the differences in volatile compounds producing roasted/broth flavors were studied through the cysteine-xylose-glutamate Maillard reaction system, which provided a theoretical basis for the future use of Maillard reaction to simulate meat flavor.
