Understanding protein–flavor interactions: Factors, characterization techniques, and the effect of processing

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The perception of flavor in a food system depends on its release from the protein matrix. Apart from hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and van der Waal's forces, the formation of covalent adducts between the flavor and protein highly impacts the release of flavor from the protein matrix.
