[0003] Soybean is a very important crop in the world. It is rich in nutrients such as protein, fatty acids, phospholipids and various minerals, and is a huge plant protein resource. With the continuous change of people's dietary structure, scholars from various countries are actively committed to the deep processing research of soybeans and have successively developed a variety of soybean foods.

[0004] Soybean textured protein is made of plant soy protein as the main raw material. Other auxiliary materials may or may not be added according to the needs. After being mixed evenly, the organizational morphology of the protein is changed by mechanical or chemical methods, so that the protein molecules are neatly arranged and have an organizational structure in the same direction. It is a meat substitute with the fiber structure and taste of meat, commonly known as artificial meat or plant protein meat. Plant meat can not only avoid the pollution caused by animal meat in the production and processing process, but also has the advantages of high protein, low fat and low cholesterol. However, in the processing and production of soy food, different degrees of beany smell are often produced, which makes many people unacceptable, thus limiting the development of soy food.

[0005] Flavor is the primary sensory characteristic that consumers consider when choosing food. The unique beany smell of soy textured protein limits its development as a meat substitute. Although there have been studies on the flavor of soy textured protein, there are few studies on the key aroma substances of the beany smell of soy textured protein, and the research results are not the same; the currently commonly used methods for removing the beany smell, such as physical methods (such as heating, adsorption, etc.), have the disadvantages of complex operation and possible impact on the functional properties of protein; chemical methods (such as adding some chemical reagents for treatment) may have the hidden danger of chemical residues, which do not meet the requirements of food safety and naturalness; other single seasonings are often not ideal in removing the smell.
