Abstract
Promoting the Maillard reaction (MR) is an effective way to enhance the flavor of oils. To produce fragrant sunflower oil with low oxidation, a mixture of cold-pressed sunflower oil and enzymatic hydrolysates from sunflower meal was heated to 120 °C. The aroma profiles were compared using SAFE-GC–MS/O-based flavoromics, while free amino acids, reducing sugars, and browning intensity were measured. Results showed that valine (3-fold) and rhamnose (10–40-fold) increased after enzymatic hydrolysis, while glucose and valine decreased most after heating. A total of 49 volatile compounds were identified, with 22 important odorants showing odor-activity values (OAVs) ≥ 1. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) identified 8 key markers for aroma differences: methyl-pyrazine, ethyl-pyrazine, trimethyl-pyrazine, 2,6-diethyl-pyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethyl-6-ethylpyrazine, 2-ethyl-6-methylpyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethyl-6-isopentylpyrazine, and pyrrole. Viscozyme L + Alcalase 2.4 L assisted stood out for its pleasant nutty note. This study offers new insights into improving sunflower oil flavor without high temperatures.
