Isolation and Identification of Novel Taste-Modulating -Guanosine 5'-Monophosphate Derivatives Generated by Maillard-Type Reactions.

Several compounds with taste-modulating properties have been investigated, improving the taste impression without having a pronounced intrinsic taste. The best-known representatives of umami taste-modulating compounds are ribonucleotides and their derivatives. Especially the thio derivatives showed high taste-modulating potential in structure-activity relationship investigations.

A New Inert Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent (NADES) as a Reaction Medium for Food-Grade -Type Model Reactions.

Sustainability, low toxicity, and high solute potential are the fundamental reasons for focusing green chemistry on natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). The application of NADES ranges from organic chemistry to the agricultural sector and the food industry. In the food industry, the desired food quality can be achieved by the extraction of small molecules, macromolecules, and even heavy metals.
