BROWNING IN THERMALLY PROCESSED FOODS: THE MAILLARD

REACTION

Food modifications during thermal treatment (1)

• Protein denaturation• Physical changes (starch

gelatinization, structural alterations of cell wall, depolymerization of dietary fibre)

• Lipid oxidation• Degradation of some bioactive

components

Food modifications during thermal treatment (2)

• Reaction between different components generate new compounds.

• Proteins-sugar: Maillard reaction formation of Advanced Glycosilation End-products (AGEs)

• Lipid-protein: Advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs)

The same chemistryThe reaction is in both cases (sugars or oxidised lipids) between a carbonyl moiety and an amino group

The same products

The final product of both reaction patways (AGEs and ALEs) are polymeric brown macromolecules

The Maillard Reaction in Foods

Produces aromas in heated foods

Responsible for colour formation (non-enzymatic browning)

Maillard products have antioxidant properties

•Can cause loss of nutrients

•Some products may be toxic

iminuzione dell’attività dell’acqua

Louis-Camille Maillard(1878 - 1936)

Photographed in his laboratory

ca 19151912 – 1916: He published 8 papers on his

observations of colour changes on mixing amino acids

and sugars.

No one else took much interest in the reaction until 1950s

Maillard-Hodge Reaction?

John Hodge: 1914 -1996 • Chemist at USDA in Illinois (1941 – 1980)

• His proposed mechanism for the chemistry of non-enzymic browning is largely unchanged after 60 years.

Food “melanoproteins”

Pronyl-lysine

This compound is formed on the lateral

chain of Lysine residues

Pronyl-lysine has a high antioxidant activity

Possible toxicants

• Acrylamide

• Furan

• Heterocyclic amines

• 3-MPCD (Mono Chloro Propan Diol)

• 3-Methyl Imidazolone

Development of mitigation strategies to reduce their concentration

A network of many reactions giving thousands of products

Products formed depends on:

•Chemical nature of the reactants

•Time and temperature of heating

•Technological conditions

•Water activity, pH

Practice

Effects of reactants:

Sodium Carbonate (pH effects)

Protein and carbohydrates

Water activity (fibre addition)

Butter clarification

Control

Added with sodium bicarbonate
