Interactions of the flavoring compounds hexyl acetate (HxAc), heptyl acetate (HpAc), linalyl formate (LiFo), linalyl acetate (LiAc), geraniol, linalool, limonene, and myrcene with soy protein isolate (SPI) were estimated in pH 3.0, 6.0, and 9.0 aqueous solutions using headspace solid‐phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SPME–GC–MS). The binding capacity of HxAc, HpAc, LiFo, LiAc, geraniol, and linalool increased in the pH of the medium from 3 to 9. For limonene and myrcene, an unexpected increase in headspace concentration or a “salting‐out” effect was observed. Between pH 3 and 9, better accessibility to the primary hydrophobic sites as a result of a modification to the protein's flexibility was observed. Practical applications SPME method is a technology of dynamic adsorption for flavors. The lowest level of lead be practicably detected in food as low as the practiced concentration of flavors (0.01–0.1 mM) in our study. At low concentrations of flavors, it is close to the actual flavor's concentration of food. In the previous studies, the technology, such as equilibrium dialysis, headspace‐gas phase which need higher concentration of flavors (>0.2 mM). The interaction between flavors and protein has a different binding law at high and low concentrations. As we produced the acid fruit soy protein milk beverage, the off‐flavors present in the beverage were due to the change in the interaction between denature SPI and flavors. The present work is aimed at paving the way for further research to elucidate flavor imbalances in acid fruit soy protein milk beverage.
