In this study, we investigated the effect of ultrasonic pretreatment on the flavor characteristics of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) because ultrasound enhances the Maillard reaction (MR). Brewer's yeast‐peanut meal hydrolysate was subjected to an ultrasonic treatment, followed by a thermal treatment to induce the MR. Then, several properties of the MRPs were investigated. Compared to the untreated samples, the ultrasound‐treated samples presented looser microstructures, which were conducive to the combination of xylose with amino acids or peptides in MR. Consequently, more intermediates were produced and a higher browning degree of the MRPs was observed, compared to those obtained by thermal MR. These findings were supported by the results of MRP analysis through fluorescence and FT‐IR spectroscopies. The volatile compounds of samples treated by exposure to 200 W ultrasound endowed the MRPs with prominent flavor characteristics, as confirmed by the scores recorded using Electronic‐tongue. NOVELTY IMPACT STATEMENT: The flavor characteristics of the MRPs from the brewer's yeast‐peanut meal hydrolysate have been reported for the first time in our study. Our findings demonstrate that ultrasonic pretreatment can improve the flavor characteristics of the MRPs, thereby supporting their use in the production of condiments. However, the benefits of the ultrasonic treatment do not always increase with the applied power. This study exploits an agricultural by‐product as a raw material, fostering new ways to reduce waste and support a sustainable circular economy.
