Characterization of a fermented dairy, sour cream: Lipolysis and the release profile of flavor compounds.

Lipolysis and flavor development during fermentation of sour cream were studied by evaluating the physicochemical changes, sensory differences and volatile components. The fermentation caused significant changes in pH, viable count and sensory evaluation. The peroxide value (POV) decreased after reaching the maximum value of 1.

GC-MS and GC×GC-ToF-MS analysis of roasted / broth flavors produced by Maillard reaction system of cysteine-xylose-glutamate.

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.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) protein and sensory characterization of Maillard reaction products.

We aimed to simplify the enzymolysis process for flaxseed protein hydrolysates production as Maillard reaction products (MRPs) to generate different flavor characteristics. More than 50% activity of immobilized enzymes (Alcalase and Flavourzyme) was retained after repeated use. Subsequently, after five weeks, the activities of the immobilized enzymes were also observed to be higher after storage at 4 °C.
