The aroma of coffee is largely determined by the roasting degree of coffee beans, and there are four main reactions in the roasting process:
Maillard reaction, which is a reaction between nitrogenous substances (amino acids, proteins and trigonelline, and serotonin) and carbohydrates (sugars).
Degradation of individual amino acids, especially thionine, hydroxyl and proline.
The degradation of sugar leads to caramelization.
Carbolic acid degradation, especially quinic acid semi-group.
Other reactions are related to lipid degradation, and there are hundreds of interactions between intermediate decomposition products.
