This study investigated the effects of chemical composition of surimi (prepared by 0, 1, or 2 times of rinsing) and gelling temperature (90 °C and 100 °C) on the odor characteristics of surimi products and the relationship between the chemical composition of surimi and the aroma of surimi products. The once- and twice-rinsed surimi showed a decrease (p < 0.05) of 71.32%, 74.60%, 42.79% and 61.12% in the contents of total amino acids and total fatty acids, respectively. The surimi products prepared with un-rinsed surimi at 90 °C had the highest fish-fragrance score, while those prepared with once-rinsed surimi at 100 °C showed the strongest warmed-over flavor (WOF) and the lowest fish-fragrance score.Gly, Phe, and most of the saturated fatty acids were associated with WOF formation in surimi products, while Leu, Ile, Val, Asp, and unsaturated fatty acids were positively related to their fish-fragrance note.
