The Preparation and Identification of Characteristic Flavour Compounds of Maillard Reaction Products of Protein Hydrolysate from Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) Bone by Yunliang Li, Xiaojing Wang, Xue Yang, Siyu Ruan, Anqi Zhou, Shanfeng Huang, Haile Ma

“…Moreover, the results of Maillard reaction products illustrated a significant increase in DPPH radical scavenging activity (p<0.05) compared to that of hydrolysate and its thermal degradation products, which was accompanied by the decreased ACE inhibitory activity. Besides, the umami-sweet taste amino acid ratio in free amino acids of Maillard reaction products climbed considerably compared to those of hydrolysate and its thermal degradation products, which proved that Maillard reaction is an effective way to improve the flavour taste of protein hydrolysate. …”
