In this study, the influence of pre-regulation of the water content (5–25 %) on the harmful substances and aroma compounds of sesame paste (SP) was investigated. The results indicated that pre-regulation of the water content reduced the generation of harmful substances in SP. Notably, the total heterocyclic amine content in SP-15 was significantly lower than in other samples. SP-10 had the lowest total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content, while SP-5 exhibited the lowest PAH4 content. Using solvent-assisted aroma evaporation and GC-O-MS, 50 aroma compounds were identified in SP. Pre-regulation of water content in SP led to an elevated concentration of heterocyclic compounds thereby imparting a diverse aromatic profile. It enhanced the perceived intensity of roasted sesame and salty pastry aromas while reducing the perceived intensity of fermentation and burnt aromas. The findings suggested the pre-regulation of the water content played a crucial role in aroma modulation and harmful substances control in SP.
