Abstract
The aim was to study the changes in flavor compounds hydrolyzed by different proteases in fish soup boiled with fish scraps The odor compounds were extracted by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by two-dimensional comprehensive gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC×GC-O-MS). The state of the distribution of free amino acids, 5’-nucleotides, peptides and equivalent umami concentration (EUC) were investigated. It was found that enzymatic hydrolysis significantly reduced off-flavor compounds, and the umami taste increased significantly. The synergistic effect between FlavourzymeTM and ProtamexTM (F-P) made the flavor of enzymatic hydrolysis better than that of other enzymes.
