Characterization of Key Chromophores Formed by Nonenzymatic Browning of Hexoses and l-Alanine by Using the Color Activity Concept
摘要:
Thermal treatment of an aqueous solution of D-glucose and L-alanine in the presence of the carbohydrate degradation product furan-2-aldehyde resulted in the formation of a variety of colored compounds, among which (Z)-2-[(2-furyl)methylidene]-5,6-di(2-furyl)-6H-pyran-3-one (I), [E]- and [Z]-1,2-bis(2-furyl)-1-pentene-3,4-dione (IIa/IIb), 4,5-bis(2-furyl)-2-methyl-3H-furan-2-one (III), and (S,S)- and (SR)-2-[4,5-bis(2-furyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3(2H)-pyrrol-1-yl]propionic acid (IVa/IVb) as well as 2-[(2-furyl)methylidene]-4-hydroxy-5-[(E)-(2-furyl)methylidene]methyl-2H-furan-3-one (V) were successfully identified as the most intense by application of the color dilution analysis. To measure the contribution of these colorants to the overall color of the browned Maillard mixture, color activity values were calculated as the ratio of the concentration to the visual detection threshold of each colorant. By application of this color activity concept, 16.0% of the overall color of the Maillard mixture accounted for these five types of colorants, thus confirming them as key chromophores. On the basis of synthetic model experiments, the formation pathways leading to the chromophores IIa/IIb, III, and IVa/IVb were proposed.
