Abstract: Volatiles from thermal degradation Vitamin B1 (thiamin) in a microwave oven were trapped and analyzed by GC/MS. Twenty six sulfur containing compounds with structural characteristics of thiophene, thiazole, furyl sulfide, acetyl sulfide,aliphatic sulfide were identified. And nine of them such as 2-methyl-3-furanthiol and 2-acetylthiophene, which bear the specificmeaty structural unit, were expected to possess the meaty flavor and contribute more to the aroma of Vitamin B1 degradationproducts under microwave oven heating.

Key words: Vitamin B1, meaty flavors, microwave, GC/MS
