摘要:Takifugu obscurus (T.  obscurus) by-products (fish heads and bones) account for about 35%  of  total  weight.  In  order  to  improve  its  availability,  flavor  materials  based  on  T.  obscurus  by-product  have  been  developed  through  enzymatic  hydrolysis  and  Maillard  thermal  reaction.  However,  their  basic  taste  characteristics  have  not  been  extensively investigated. In this study, the taste intensities of T.  obscurus flavor ma-terials (protein hydrolysates and Maillard reaction products) at different concentra-tions, pH, and temperatures were compared and distinguished by sensory evaluation combined with electronic tongue analysis. Results showed that T.  obscurus by-prod-ucts  protein  hydrolysates  (TBPH)  had  the  optimal  taste  intensities  (mainly  umami  taste) at 5.0 g/L, pH 6.5, and Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were at 4.0 g/L, pH 7.0. They both possessed excellent thermal stability, and their recognition thresholds were 0.08 g/100 mL for TBPH and 0.03 g/100 mL for MRPs, respectively. This study would lay a theoretical foundation to understand the basic flavor characteristics of T. obscurus by-products.
