Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) was prepared from rice bran protein concentrate (RBPc) bypartial hydrolysis with aqueous 0.5 N HCl at 95

C for 12 or 36 h (H-RBPc-12 and H-RBPc-36,respectively). Aroma components of the RBPc and the HVPs were characterized by gas chromatography-olfactometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, aroma extract dilution analysis,and calculation of odor activity values (OAVs). The predominant odorants in RBPc were 3-methylbutanal, hexanal, 2-
aminoacetophenone, (
E)-2-nonenal, phenylacetaldehyde, and

-damascenone.Among these, the odor of 2-
aminoacetophenone, present at 59 ng/g in RBPc, was reminiscent ofthe typical odor of RBPc. Most of the predominant odorants had higher log
3FD factors in the H-RBPc-36 as compared to H-RBPc-12. Aroma impact compounds of H-RBPc-12 and H-RBPc-36 were2-methoxyphenol (guaiacol),
4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(
2H)furanone, 3-hydroxy-
4,5-dimethyl-2(
5H)furanone (sotolon), vanillin, 3-methylbutanal, (
E)-2-nonenal,
4-vinyl-2-methoxyphenol (
p-vinylguaiacol),and

-damascenone. Guaiacol had the highest OAV values of 2770 and 17650 in H-RBPc-12 andH-RBPc-36, respectively.
