Background: Pyrazines are used in food industry to impart the foods nutty-roasted flavor. However, their extraction from natural sources is difficult and expensive. At the same time, there is awareness against the chemical food additives.

The aim of this study was to prepare a nutty-like flavour from enzymatic hydrolysates of soybean protein isolate pretreated or assisted by microwave heating. In both cases the time of microwave heating was optimized and degree of hydrolysis (DH) and content of free amino acids in each hydrolysate were determined and compared with those of hydrolysate prepared by conventional method (E-HSC). The hydrolysates showed the best results were used as main precursors of nutty flavour.

Background: Enzymatic hydrolyzed vegetable proteins have been recommended as safe precursors of pro- cess flavours. However, the degree of hydrolysis limits their production on an industrial scale. Nanotechnology can enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis of soybean protein.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of to produce a safe nutty like flavor from enzymatic soybean meal hydrolysate (E-SH) and to investigate the effect of encapsulation and storage on the quality of the produced nutty flavoring. was incubated with E-SH, supplemented and un-supplemented with a mixture of threonine and lysine. The generated volatiles of each culture were subjected to odor sensory analysis.

A comparative study was carried out between two beef-like flavourings prepared by conventional and microwave heating (CBF and MBF) of enzymatic hydrolysate of mushroom protein with other flavour precursors. GC-MS analysis of the isolated volatiles revealed that the thiol containing compounds were the predominate in both samples. However, MBF comprised higher concentration of these compounds (13.
