Initial Ph.D. Seminar
The health benefits of soy proteins have caught people’s attention due to the
large amount of research reports and approval of a health claim linking soy
protein and coronary heart disease (CHD) reduction by the U.S. FDA in November
1999. However, the major problem of soy-based food products and soy ingredients
is the formation of various powerful off-flavors. Although food scientists in
industry are eager to apply soy proteins to their products, it is a challenge
to eliminate off-flavor problem. The objective of this study is to investigate
the effects of soy protein on flavor quality in cookie baking system. The
project is carried out with the use of solid-phase microextraction (SPME)
technique and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry identification. The cookie
ingredients are based on and modified by Method 10-53 from approved methods of
the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC). The volatile extraction
parameters in SPME method follow Cai’s study (3). The volatile flavor
components are categorized into five distinguished groups, strecker aldehydes,
pyrazines, lipid oxidation components, furanones and other nitrogen-containing
compounds.
