Melanoidins, making general contribution to the food characteristics, are extensively generated in the production of Chinese traditional vinegar; however, their effect on flavor modification remains unknown. This study investigated the changes in the melanoidins of Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar (ZAV) during decoction, and the interactions of crude melanoidins (CM) and pure melanoidins (PM) from decocted and undecocted ZAV with mixed aroma compounds were compared. With the exception of C-N, O-H and C-H, chem. bonds and groups varied among the four types of melanoidins. However, CM and PM, obtained from decocted or undecocted vinegar, displayed generally similar structures, which resulted in their consistent retention of volatiles owning to the overall structure characteristics. Compared to aqueous solution, CM and PM from undecocted vinegar exhibited release, non-influence, or adsorption of flavors. However, melanoidins from decocted vinegar appeared the adsorption for all flavors but 2,3,5,6-Tetramethylpyrazine with weakened release. Free low mol. weight (LMw) compounds would affect the volatiles retention. Total solids (TS) from undecocted vinegar adsorbed volatiles except di-Et succinate; however, TS from decocted vinegar released all flavors significantly. Therefore, the decocted melanoidins were beneficial for the persistence of aroma. This study provided a base for elucidating the formation of melanoidins in decoction procedure and their roles in flavor modification.
