“…Butane-2,3-dione, ethyl acetate, allyl mercaptan, and 2,3-pentanedione (peaks numbered 5, 6, 7, and 9, respectively) are responsible for the flavor of garlic; allyl mercaptan, in particular, is produced during heat treatment and is a known metabolite of allium derivatives that inhibit cholesterol synthesis 53 . 2,3-Dimethylpyrazine, tetramethylpyrazine, and ethenyl-dimethylpyrazine are heterocyclic pyrazines, which are produced upon non-enzymatic browning of garlic, such as through the Maillard reaction 54 , 55 . These compounds are presumed to have been produced through non-enzymatic browning reactions of reduced sugars and amino acids during high-temperature drying in the production of the garlic powder, and oven-baking of the fish cakes could have generated such flavor compounds.…”
