Abstract:Broth has a palatable flavor, rich nutrition and health benefits. Beginning with an overview of the nutritional value and basic classification of meat broth, this paper is focused on the formation mechanism of flavor compounds in broth, the factors influencing it, the pattern of changes in flavor compounds during storage and processing, and the traditional analytical methods for identifying broth flavor compounds. In addition, the key flavor components are briefly described. It is expected that this review will provide a theoretical basis for the processing and quality improvement of traditional Chinese meat soup and research on flavor compounds in broth.
