Research progress on the formation mechanism and detection technology of bread flavor

With a long history of fermentation technology and rich flavors, bread is widely consumed by people all around the world. The consumer market is huge and the demand is wide. However, the formation mechanism of bread baking flavor has not been completely defined. In order to improve the breadmaking process and the quality of bread, the main flavor substances produced in bread baking, the formation mechanism, and the detection technology of bread baking flavor are carefully summarized in this paper. The generation conditions and formation mechanism of flavor substances during the bread baking process are expounded, and the limitations of some current bread flavor detection technologies are proposed, which will provide theoretical basis for effectively regulating the generation of flavor substances in the bread baking process and making bread with good flavor and rich nutrition in the future.
