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
