The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars to create melanoidins, the compounds that give browned food its distinctive flavor. Seared steaks, fried dumplings,
Acrylamide
…Acrylamide can arise in some cooked foods via a series of steps by the reaction of the amino acid asparagine and glucose. This condensation, one of the Maillard reactions, followed by dehydrogenation produces N-(D-glucos-1-yl)-L-asparagine, which upon pyrolysis generates some acrylamide. The discovery in 2002 that some…
The crusts of most breads, such as this brioche, are golden-brown mostly as a result of the Maillard reaction.
