MG-ARP exhibited superior potential in the rapid formation and high intensity of processed flavor than the Met/Glc except for the inefficiency in pyrazine production. The extra-added Glc tended to react with recovered Met to compete against α-dicarbonyl compounds to suppress the Strecker degradation and pyrazine formation. The additional Met effectively improved the precursor availability and facilitated the conversion of C<sub>6</sub>-α-dicarbonyl compounds to short-chained α-dicarbonyl compounds for pyrazine formation rather than their dehydration and cyclization to generate furans. The oxidation of Met favored the nonoxidative carbohydrate degradation leading to MGO formation and the aldolization of dihydropyrazines, which synergistically enriched the varieties of pyrazines, especially for the promoted formation of long-chain substituted pyrazines.","PeriodicalId":318,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reduction of saturated fat content is difficult and often leads to “oil-off,” i.e., the seepage of liquid oil from the mixture, resulting in undesirable appearance and texture. Investigations into the phenomenon have often focused on morphology at the water-oil interfaces, and this work establishes Raman imaging as a powerful application for observing microscopic morphologies of W/O emulsions. We analyze morphologies of 5 distinct margarine spreads that differ in manufacturing date, formulation, and manufacturing process. More robust H-bonding in the oil phase of the emulsions co-occurred with smaller amounts of oil-off, suggesting that H-bonding interactions between emulsifier molecules, water, and crystallized fats in the lipid phase of the W/O emulsions results in an emulsion that is less susceptible to the production of oil-off.","PeriodicalId":318,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Major phenolic compounds containing heliannone A, B, and kaempferol had strong affinity with sodium caseinate, and then chickpea protein.
