Hydrolysis of abalone's viscera using HCl and analysis of the Maillard reaction products

Theviscera of abalone Haliotis discus was hydrolyzed to prepare amino acid hydrolysate using HCl and their components and contents were analyzed by HPLC. The hydrolysates were reacted with glucose and the Maillard reactants were obtained. The reactants were analyzed by GC/MS. The result indicated that 16 kinds of amino acids were detected, which included seven essential amino acids for humans. And three of eight compounds from the Maillard reactants were fragrant. Millard-reaction solution has good resistance to oxidation and stability through UV spectrophotometry.
