•15 odorants contributed to the aroma profiles of the stir-fried pepper tallow.•The threshold of aroma compounds in tallow was determined for the first time.•The terpenoids was the major aroma contributor of stir-fried pepper tallow.•Glycosides are the precursors of most aroma compounds in stir-fried pepper tallow.
Stir-fried pepper tallow is widely used in cooking due to its special flavor, particularly in hot-pot dishes. However, the composition and source of the key aroma compounds in stir-fried pepper tallow are poorly understood, resulting in uneven quality. Here, the key aroma compounds were screened using flavor dilution factors (FD) and odor activity values (OAVs). A total of 41 odorants compounds were identified. Of these, 20 compounds with FD ≥ 8 were aroma-active compounds. Furthermore, among these 20 compounds, 15 with OAVs ≥ 1were the key aroma-active compounds and most of these (13 out of 15 odorants) were produced from pepper. Glycosides in pepper are the precursors of the most of these key aroma compounds. It may be possible to improve the flavor quality of stir-fried pepper tallow by hydrolyzing glycosides. These findings should help to establish a standard to assess and improve the quality of stir-fried pepper tallow.
