The Maillard reaction is responsible for many colors and flavors in foods, in combination with other processes. The heat-induced reaction of amino groups of amino acids, peptides, and proteins with carbonyl groups of reducing sugars such as glucose results in the concurrent formation of so-called Maillard browning products, such as heterocyclic amines (HCAs), acrylamides, melanoidins (food-browning), Pent-4-en-1-amine, Styrene, Acetamide, Chloropropanols and Furan, which are all present in cooked foods.
Various reducing sugars vary in reactivity. Pentoses are more reactive than hexoses, which are more reactive than disaccharides.
- Pentoses: Arabinose, xylose, lyxose, ribose, ribulose, xylulose (a pentosan is a polymere of pentoses)
- Hexoses: Glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, allose, altrose, gulose, idose, talose, sorbose, tagatose, psicose (a hexosan is a polymere of hexoses)
- Disaccharides: Sucrose (glucose-fructose), lactose (galactose-glucose), maltose (glucose-glucose), etc.
Pent-4-en-1-amine
Is considered the lysine-glucose counterpart of acrylamide (instead of asparagine-glucose). In the presence of sugars, lysine, similarly to asparagine and phenylalanine, can undergo carbonyl-assisted decarboxylative deamination reaction to generate pent-4-en-1-amine. Alternatively, decarboxylation of lysine generates cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) followed by deamination to form pent-4-en-1-amine.[1]
Styrene
Styrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), formed during incomplete combustion of organic compounds and a Maillard reaction product (and used in dyes). Similar to toluene and ethylbenzene, syrene is also released during food decaying processes.[2] Environmentally, commercially manufactured polystyrene nanoparticles are taken up by algae and accumulate in fish, resulting in weight loss and altered cholesterol distribution[3]. Chronic exposure causes remodelling of the intestinal villi[4] and structural changes in apolipoproteins.[5] Styrene oxide is neurotoxic (synergistically with acrylamide).[6] Similar to bisphenol A and phthalates, plastic drink containers are a source of styrene exposure.[7]
Styrene is considered the phenylalanine-glucose counterpart of acrylamide (instead of asparagine-glucose). In the presence of sugars, phenylalanine, similarly to asparagine and lysine, can undergo carbonyl-assisted decarboxylative deamination reaction to generate styrene[8]. Phenylalanine heated together with 1-hydroxyacetone or methylglyoxal yielded only 0.03 mol% styrene.[9]
Acetamide
Amides are derivates of ammonia or (carboxylated) amines. Acetamide is a carcinogenic derived from acetic acid, by dehydrating ammonium acetate[10], or by hydrolysis of acetonitrile[11]. Thermal degradation (>200°C) of chitin also yields acetamide.[12] Chitin is a good inducer for defense mechanisms in plants[13], and present in fungi, the exoskeletons of crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters and shrimps, in mollusks, and in the internal shells of squid and octopus. Acetamide is also a byproduct of thermochemical treatment of lignocellulosic biomass.[14]
Chloropropanols
3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) is a chloropropanol.
Furan
(Fur)furan (5-oxacyclopenta-1,3-diene or 1,4-epoxy-1,3-butadiene) is a toxic heterocyclic organic compound, readily converted to other compounds. Furan is present in coffee, canned and jarred food, and baby food.
- 5-hydroxymethylfurfural
- furosine
