Four peptide fractions PF1 (>5 ;kDa), PF2 (3–5 ;kDa), PF3 (1–3 ;kDa), PF4 (<1 ;kDa) were isolated from soybean hydrolysate using the ultrafiltration method. Then, d -xylose and l -cysteine were reacted with specific peptide solution at 120 ;°C for 2 ;h, and the molecular weight distribution (MWD), pH, colour, browning intensity, DPPH radical-scavenging activity, free amino acids and sensory characteristics of corresponding Maillard reaction products (MRPF1, MRPF2, MRPF3 and MRPF4) were evaluated, respectively. Peptides with low molecular weight showed higher contribution to the changes of pH, colour and browning intensity during Maillard reaction. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity of PF4 was significantly improved after Maillard reaction. Aroma volatiles and PLSR analysis suggested MRPF3 had the best sensory characteristics with higher contents of umami amino acids and lower of bitter amino acids, therefore it could be deduced that the umami and meaty characteristics were correlated with the peptides of 1–3 ;kDa.
