In this study, α-dicarbonyl compounds consisting of a backbone with six carbon atoms resulting from the Maillard reaction of d-fructose with γ-aminobutyric acid were determined. The reaction was carried out under mild reaction conditions at 50 °C and water contents between 0 and 90%. A thus far unknown α-dicarbonyl compound was found as the main product in the first 24 h at water contents below 50%. After isolation of its stable quinoxaline derivative, it was possible to identify the compound as 2-deoxy-d- glycero-hexo-3,4-diulose (2-deoxyglucosone). For the first time, the four C-α-dicarbonyl compounds, 1-deoxyglucosone, 2-deoxyglucosone, 3-deoxyglucosone, and 4-deoxyglucosone, could be identified in the Maillard reaction of a hexose at the same time. This indicates the formation of a 2,3-eneaminol from the Schiff base of d-fructose and the formation of 2-amino-2-deoxy-3-ketose as an alternative to the Heyns product.

Cultivated meats are typically hybrids of animal cells and plant proteins, but their high production costs limit their scalability. This study explores a cost-effective alternative by hypothesizing that controlling the Maillard and lipid thermal degradation reactions in pure cells can create a meaty aroma that could be extracted from minimal cell quantities. Using spontaneously immortalized porcine myoblasts and fibroblasts adapted to suspension culture with a 1 % serum concentration, we developed a method to isolate flavor precursors via freeze-thawing.

Phenolic compounds have antiglycation activity, but the changes occurring during thermal treatment (TT) in these activities are not completely understood. The effects of the extraction conditions of (poly)phenols from fruits, before and after TT, on their antioxidant and antiglycation effects were assessed. (Poly)phenol-enriched extracts (PEEs) from raw and TT (90 °C, 1 h) were extracted using three solvent mixtures (ethanol/water/acetic acid) with increasing water content (0, 24, and 49%) and three solvent-to-solid ratios (5, 10, and 20 mL/g).

Drying is the step that is to be used to adjust and control the formation of flavour and quality in black tea processing. In the present work, the comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC × GC-MS) and gas chromatography olfactometry with mass (GC-O-MS) were used to determine the dynamic change of the volatile compounds in black tea during drying at 90, 120, 150 °C for 1 h. Results showed that the ratio of esters and aldehydes largely declined when temperature was elevated from 90 °C to 150 °C, while the ratio of heterocycles was increased to 22.

Preservation and shelf-life extension are of paramount importance for dried goji berry, especially those dehydrated using pulsed vacuum drying (PVD), which are generally applied for the high-quality dried products in the markets. This study compared the storage stability of dried goji berry dehydrated using PVD versus conventional hot wind drying (HWD), focusing on the complex interactions between packaging conditions and physicochemical compounds during accelerated storage. The results showed that PVD-dried goji berry exhibited higher browning degree (2.

Background: Furfurals, key derivatives of Maillard reactions commonly found in everyday foods, have been identified as having significant toxic effects on human health. Excessive intake of furfurals can lead symptoms such as weight loss, poor nutrient metabolism which followed by disease occurrence. The severe carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and genotoxicity of furfurals were well recognized recently.
