Antioxidative Activity and Volatile Profiles of Maillard Reaction Products between Giant Salamander (Andrias davidianus) Peptides and Glucose during the Heating Process by Wenqian Wang, Shibo Zhao, Jinjin Pei, Pengfei Jiang, Wengang Jin, Ruichang Gao

“…The results indicated that the pH value of the MRPs shrank with the proceeding of heating time, while the browning extent and antioxidative capacity increased. 58 volatile compounds including 24 aldehydes, 12 alcohols, 8 esters, 5 ketones, 4 pyrazines, 2 furans, 1 pyridine, 1 ether, and 1 olefin were detected among the MRPs. At different stages of the reaction, the MRPs were dominated by aldehydes, and the relative amount of aldehydes first decreased and then increased with the intensification of the reaction time; the relative content of esters increased first and then decreased; the relative content of alcohols decreased gradually; and the relative amount of pyrazine and furan exhibited a significant increasing tendency. …”
