Thermal Degradation Products of Several Amadori Compounds

Control of Several Emissions during Olive Pomace Thermal Degradation

Biomass plays an important role as an energy source, being an interesting alternative to fossil fuels due to its environment-friendly and sustainable characteristics. However, due to the exposure of customers to emissions during biomass heating, evolved pollutants should be taken into account and controlled. Changing raw materials or mixing them with another less pollutant biomass could be a su...

Thermal Expansion of Several Sn-based Intermetallic Compounds

Relevance of amadori and maillard products to seed deterioration.

The possible role of Amadori and Maillard reactions in the deterioration of dry seeds was investigated using model systems and whole soybean seeds, Glycine max cv Hodgson. In model systems of glucose plus an enzyme (lysozyme), the production of Amadori products was accelerated by higher temperature and relative humidity. The reaction between glucose and lysozyme at 50 degrees C, 75% relative hu...

Enzymatic Degradation of Starch Based Thermoplastic Compounds: Identification of the Degradation Products in Solution

The present work presents the degradation behaviour of blends of corn starch with poly(ethylenevinyl alcohol) copolymer(SEVA-C). The characterization included long term degradation trials on simulated physiological solution with α-amylase up to 200 days, and the degradation solutions were analysed by several techniques. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and colorimetric methods were...

Amadori Compounds as Nonvolatile Flavor Precursors in Processed Foods

Amadori compounds, derived from the condensation of amino acids with reducing sugars in the Mainard reaction, have been isolated from browned, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, bakery products, cane and beet molasses. and cured tobacco. The nonvolatile compounds' in their enolic forms are precursors of flavor compounds, particularly those with burnt and caramel-like aromas. A model basic Amador...
