The invention discloses a method for preparing an Amadori compound by virtue of a temperature-variable water phase. According to a principle that cysteine can be combined with an Amadori rearrangement product (ARP) so as to inhibit the brown stain of Maillard reaction, water is taken as a solvent, cysteine is taken as a tracer agent, amino acid and sugar are heated under a certain condition to react, an intermediate is prepared in a water phase under an intermediate formation critical condition determined by virtue of the temperature-variable Maillard reaction, and after the reaction is finished, reduced pressure vaporization is carried out at a low temperature to remove moisture, so as to obtain an ARP solid product. According to a determination method of the critical condition formed by an ARP water phase, only a spectrophotometer is adopted, so that the operation is simple, the cost is low, and the application value is relatively high. According to a water phase synthesis technique disclosed by the invention, the production cost of the ARP is effectively lowered, the industrial requirements of environmental friendliness and sustainability are met; and meanwhile, the obtained ARP product is low in volatility and good in storage stability and has relatively high superiority, and the controllable formation of flavor processing can be realized.
