摘要:
The reaction of the N(alpha)-hippuryllysine (BzGK) with fructose was investigated in two model systems to obtain an insight in fructose-induced modification of lysine in bakery products. After BzGK and fructose had been heated in a buffered low-moisture model system (80 degrees C, 60 min, a(W) = 0.86, pH 7.4), formation of epimeric Heyns compounds N(alpha)-hippuryl-N(epsilon)-glucosyl-lysine (BzGGIcK) and N(alpha)-hippuryl-N(epsilon)-mannosyl-lysine (BzGManK) was clearly demonstrated using RIP-HPLC with UV as well as MS detection. The Amadori compound N(alpha)-hippuryl-N(epsilon)-fructosyl-lysine (BzGFruK) was formed in glucose-containing samples. When BzGK was added to the dough of fructose-containing biscuits, the Heyns compounds were detectable after baking at 175 degrees C for 7 min. The yields of the Heyns compounds in the fructose-containing biscuits and the yield of the Amadori compound in the glucose-containing biscuits were determined to 33 and 63%, pointing to the fact that formation of substantial amounts of Heyns products is very likely in fructose-containing bakery products.
