A Novel Umami Peptide Selector (UPS) for Identifying Key Peptides from Maillard-Reacted Chicken Hydrolyzates: From Taste Evaluation to Antioxidant Properties

Abstract The Maillard reaction (MR) enhances the flavor of chicken enzymatic hydrolyzates, yet pinpointing key umami peptides remains challenging due to complex matrices. Sensory evaluation showed increased umami intensity despite decreased equivalent umami concentration (EUC: 0....
