Presentation Transcript

  1. BROWNING IN THERMALLY PROCESSED FOODS: THE MAILLARD REACTION

  2. 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

  3. 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)

  4. The same products The final product of both reaction patways (AGEs and ALEs) are polymeric brown macromolecules The same chemistry The reaction is in both cases (sugars or oxidised lipids) between a carbonyl moiety and an amino group

  5. 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

  6. Stadi iniziali LATTE UHT LATTE STERILIZZATO BIRRA CHIARA PASTA PRODOTTI DA FORNO BIRRA SCURA CACAO CARNE ARROSTITA CAFFE’ Stadi intermedi Stadi avanzati Diminuzione dell’attività dell’acqua Temperatura e tempo di trattamento termico

  7. Louis-Camille Maillard(1878 - 1936) Photographed in his laboratoryca 1915 1912 – 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

  8. 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.

  17. Pronyl-lysine This compound is formed on the lateral chain of Lysine residues Pronyl-lysine has a high antioxidant activity

  18. Possible toxicants • Acrylamide • Furan • Heterocyclic amines • 3-MPCD (Mono Chloro Propan Diol) • 3-Methyl Imidazolone Development of mitigation strategies to reduce their concentration

  19. 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

  20. Practice Effects of reactants: Sodium Carbonate (pH effects) Protein and carbohydrates Water activity (fibre addition) Butter clarification Control Added with sodium bicarbonate
