Taste modulators were localized and isolated in overfermented cocoa beans by means of matrix simulating taste dilution analysis and subsequently their structure was elucidated by means of mass spectrometry (MS/MS, LC-ToF-MS). Thus, several taste modulating peptides were identified, which were characterized by human sensory tools. Finally, UPLC-MS/MS methods were developed to quantitate the identified peptides in cocoa beans with different fermentation times, as well as in plant-based protein hydrolysates.
