ABSTRACT

A mixture of glucosamine (GlcN, 15% w/v) and different amino acids in 1:1 M ratio was incubated at 70 °C for 12 h. The resulting GlcN-amino acid caramels were analysed for α-dicarbonyl compounds, polyhydroxyalkyl pyrazines, heterocyclic compound and alkylimidazoles. All the analyses were performed by using HPLC-MS/MS followed by pooling the variables with principal component analysis (PCA). GlcN-Gly caramels generated the greatest amount of butterscotch aromatic compound diacetyl and polyhydroxyalkyl pyrazines (fructosazine and deoxyfructosazine). The potentially toxic heterocyclic compound, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was generated in greater amounts with the GlcN-Arg caramels. However, the toxic alkylimidazoles (4-MEI and THI) were not present in any of the GlcN-amino acid caramels. The results suggest that caramel with butterscotch aroma and bioactivity can be produced with GlcN-amino acid at 70 °C. The PCA performed discriminated the majority of the GlcN-amino acid combinations; GlcN-Gly and GlcN-Ser were best discriminated.

ABSTRACT

Sous-vide is an increasingly popular method of cooking under controlled conditions of temperature and time inside vacuumed pouches to preserve the nutritional and sensory qualities of food. Sous-vide nonenzymatic browning of glucosamine (GlcN) was investigated at 50, 60, and 70 °C for 12 h. Changes investigated were pH, color, level of browning, and the concentrations of the key Maillard and caramelization reaction products, including α-dicarbonyls and pyrazines. The concentrations of undesired 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI), 2-acetyl-4(5)-tetrahydroxybutyl imidazole (THI), and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) were also determined. Six types of caramels were produced of unique composition with no detectable levels of 4-MEI. GlcN caramels produced under vacuum were more acidic and lighter in color, containing significantly less flavorful diacetyl, but more fructosazine (FR) as compared to nonvacuum caramels. THI concentration was well below the toxicity levels for all studied caramels. Principal component analyses showed that the incubation temperature played a key role in determining the composition of caramels.
