Abstract: | "BACKGROUND: Low molecular weight peptides (LMWPs) (<1 kDa) generated in meat during chilled conditioning can act as flavor precursors in the Maillard reaction with a potential contribution to key volatile organic compound (VOC) formation upon heating. Liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/QTOF-MS) successfully detected 44 LMWPs in chicken breast and thigh muscles stored at 4 degrees C for up to 6 days. Carnosine (350 mg per 100 g), glutathione (GSH, 20 mg per 100 g) (concentrations based on reported values in the literature) and cysteine glycine (Cys Gly, 5 mg per 100 g) (concentration based on results from LC/QTOF-MS) were used in model systems containing ribose (25 mg per 100 g). The three model systems were heated at 180 degrees C for 2 h at pH 6.3. VOCs were measured by simultaneous distillation solvent extraction/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Of 33 VOCs detected, 26 were significantly different (P = 0.05) between the three peptides. The majority of nitrogen-containing volatiles, pyrazines and pyridines, dominated the carnosine mixture, while sulfur-containing VOCs dominated the GSH and Cys Gly peptide mixtures. CONCLUSION: Known key aroma compounds such as thiazole (meaty), 2-methyl-3-furanthiol (beef and meat), 2-furfurylthiol (roasted), dihydro-2-methyl-3(2H)-thiophenone (meaty), 2-acetylthiazole (meaty and roasted) and pyrazine (meaty) were detected under conditions specific to aged and thermally treated chicken, suggesting a potential contribution to the overall sensory quality of cooked meat.
