Optimization of Maillard Reaction between Glucosamine and Other Precursors by Measuring Browning with a Spectrophotometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The individual Maillard reactions of glucose, glucosamine, cyclohexylamine, and benzylamine were studied at a fixed temperature of 120°C under different durations by monitoring the absorbance of the final products at 425 nm. Glucosamine was the most individually reactive compound, whereas the reactions of glucose, cyclohexylamine, and benzylamine were not significantly different from each other. Maillard reactions of reaction mixtures consisting of glucosamine-cyclohexylamine, glucosamine-benzylamine, glucose-cyclohexylamine, and glucose-benzylamine were also studied using different concentration ratios under different durations at a fixed temperature of 120°C and pH 9. Maillard reactions in the pairs involving glucosamine were observed to be more intense than those of the pairs involving glucose. Finally, with respect to the concentration ratios, it was observed that in most instances, optimal activity was realized, when the reaction mixtures were in the ratio of 1:1.

Optimization of Maillard Reaction in Model System of Glucosamine and Cysteine Using Response Surface Methodology
Sulfur-containing amino acids play important roles in good flavor generation in Maillard reaction of non-enzymatic browning, so aqueous model systems of glucosamine and cysteine were studied to investigate the effects of reaction temperature, initial pH, reaction time, and concentration ratio of glucosamine and cysteine. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the independent react...

The mechanisms involved in browning and in the Maillard reaction (1)) together with their effect on the nutritive value of proteins, have been investigated extensively, yet much of the evidence is of a contradictory nature. These experimental results are to be expected if one considers the variety of conditions of temperature, pH, and reactant concentrations employed by the various investigator...

2 Introduction The reaction between sugars and amino groups was first described in 1908 by two Englishmen, Ling & Malting, who considered color formation in beer. In 1912 Louis-Camille Maillard described a browning reaction between reducing sugars and amino groups. Despite not being the first to report the reaction, Maillard was the first to realize the significance of the reaction in areas as ...

Effects of pH, temperature, and syrup concentration on color formation in glucose syrups were studied and the shelf life of syrups under various conditions was estimated. Temperatures of 5, 25, and 45 ºC, pH values of 4, 5, and 6 as well as concentrations of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 ºBrix were examined. After 26 weeks no significant color changes were observed at 5 ºC. At 45 ºC, color formati...
