Abstract
The efficient preparation of the ribose-glutathione (Rib-GSH) Amadori rearrangement product (RG-ARP) as a potent precursor of meaty flavor was studied through the atmospheric-vacuum thermal reaction. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis revealed that the oxidation and degradation of GSH occurred during the preparation of RG-ARP via the atmospheric thermal reaction, especially at a low molar ratio of Rib to GSH and high reaction temperature. The RG-ARP and the ARPs derived from the products of GSH oxidation and degradation with the participation of Rib were identified by MS/MS as N-(1-deoxy-d-ribulos-1-yl)-glutathione, N-(1-deoxy-d-ribulos-1-yl)-cysteinylglycine, and N-(1-deoxy-d-ribulos-1-yl)-glutathione disulfide. The selective formation of RG-ARP was disrupted due to the multiple consumption pathways of GSH and Rib. The removal of water and the reduction of oxygen content during vacuum dehydration exhibited an obvious inhibitory effect on the oxidation of cysteinyl and the cleavage of glutamyl, limiting the oxidation and degradation of GSH. Meanwhile, the rapid evaporation of water promoted the molecular collision between the reactants, which allowed the glycation reaction of GSH to be advanced and fragmentation of RG-ARP to be inhibited at a mild dehydration temperature. Accordingly, the atmospheric-vacuum thermal reaction was proposed to limit the generation of secondary byproducts and enhance the yield of RG-ARP, enabling the RG-ARP yield to reach 49.23% at 80 °C and a molar ratio of 2:1 (Rib/GSH) for 20 min.

The number and position of unsaturated bonds in aliphatic aldehydes affect the cysteine-glucose Maillard reaction: Formation mechanism and comparison of volatile compounds. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113337.

Abstract
Nonanal, (E)-2-nonenal, (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal, and (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal were used to reveal the effect of the number and position of unsaturated bond in aliphatic aldehydes on Maillard reaction for the generation of 88 stewed meat-like volatile compounds. The results showed that (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal and (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal exhibited greater inhibition of the cysteine reaction with glucose than nonanal and (E)-2-nonenal. However, the positions of the unsaturated bonds in aliphatic aldehydes in the Maillard reaction stage were similar. A carbohydrate module labeling approach was used to present the formation pathways of 34 volatile compounds derived from the Maillard reaction with aliphatic aldehyde systems. The number and position of unsaturated bonds in aliphatic aldehydes generate multiple pathways of flavor compound formation. 2-Propylfuran and (E)-2-(2-pentenyl)furan resulted from aliphatic aldehydes. 5-Butyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone and 2-methylthiophene were produced from the Maillard reaction. 2-Furanmethanol, 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde, and 5-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde were derived from the interaction of aliphatic aldehydes and the Maillard reaction. In Particular, the addition of aliphatic aldehydes changed the formation pathway of 2-propylthiophene, thieno[3,2-b]thiophene, and 2,5-thiophenedicarboxaldehyde. Heatmap and PLS-DA analysis could discriminate volatile compound compositions of the five systems and screen the marker compounds differentiating volatile compounds.

Abstract
2-Threityl-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA) and Amadori rearrangement product (ARP), the isomeric intermediates derived from the cysteine-xylose (Cys-Xyl) Maillard reaction model, possessed the ability to produce similar flavor profile during the thermal process, but the flavor formation or browning rate of heated TTCA was significantly lower than that of ARP. Macroscopically, the yield of TTCA reached the maximum when the moisture content of the reaction system just dropped to nearly 0% during the thermal reaction-vacuum dehydration process. During the subsequent dynamic intramolecular dehydration process, the reaction remained at an early stage of the Maillard reaction, and TTCA was the main intermediate. Thereinto, the water activity of the samples decreased with the increased dehydration time. From a molecular perspective, the dissipation of free water promoted the conversion of combined water to immobilized water and free water, increasing the intramolecular dehydration. Instantaneous high-temperature dehydration during the spray drying process revealed a higher efficiency than the thermal reaction-vacuum dehydration process, which facilitated the specific conversion of substrates to intermediates (TTCA, ARP). The loss of free water and immobilized water was a key driving force for the direct formation of TTCA/ARP, regulating the formation stages of MRIs. The increase of the inlet air temperature could alter the ratio of TTCA and ARP at the equilibrium state.

Abstract
This study explored the addition of cysteine (Cys) affecting the color formation of heated 2-threityl-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA) models under different reaction conditions and pointed out that temperature was considered to be the key parameter influencing the color inhibition behavior of Cys on TTCA reaction models. Results revealed that additional Cys not only controlled the reaction progress and blocked the formation pathway of browning but also changed the formation rate, intensity, and profile of the flavor generated from the TTCA reaction model. Meanwhile, the mechanism of Cys simultaneously regulating the formation of color and flavor was revealed through monitoring of the characteristic downstream products during TTCA degradation and model reaction systems. At the initial stage, the additional Cys acted as a color inhibitor before the deoxyxylosone degradation, preventing the formation of downstream browning precursors. With the continuous depletion of Cys as well as the generation of furans or α-dicarbonyl compounds, Cys became a flavor enhancer to act on the browning precursors and to provide more sulfur/nitrogen elements for the TTCA thermal reaction system. Therefore, Cys had the potential to act as both color inhibitor and flavor fortifier to match with TTCA for the preparation of a light-colored flavoring base with a desired flavor during thermal processing.

Abstract
Three Amadori rearrangement products (Xyl-α-Lys-ARP, Xyl-ε-Lys-ARP, and diXyl-α,ε-Lys-ARP) were observed in the xylose-lysine (Xyl-Lys) Maillard reaction model. They were separated and characterized by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and NMR. The crucial roles of reaction temperature, pH, molar ratio of Xyl to Lys, and reaction time in the formation of different Xyl-Lys-ARPs were investigated. The proportion of Xyl-α-Lys-ARP among all Xyl-Lys-ARPs was increased to 48.41% (its concentration was 25.31 μmol/mL) after the reaction at pH = 5.5 and a molar ratio of 3:1 (Xyl: Lys) for 9 min, while only Xyl-ε-Lys-ARP was generated at a higher pH (7.5) and a lower molar ratio of 1:5. Moreover, the much higher activation energy (84.08 kJ/mol) of diXyl-α,ε-Lys-ARP than Xyl-α-Lys-ARP (34.19 kJ/mol) and Xyl-ε-Lys-ARP (32.32 kJ/mol) indicated a pronounced promoting effect on diXyl-α,ε-Lys-ARP formation by high temperatures. A complete conversion from Xyl-α-Lys-ARP and Xyl-ε-Lys-ARP to diXyl-α,ε-Lys-ARP was achieved through the reaction time prolongation and Xyl concentration increase at a higher temperature; the concentration of diXyl-α,ε-Lys-ARP was 39.05 μmol/mL at a molar ratio of 5:1 for 40 min. Accordingly, the selective preparation of Xyl-α-Lys-ARP, Xyl-ε-Lys-ARP, and diXyl-α,ε-Lys-ARP could be achieved through adjusting the Xyl-Lys ratio, pH, and reaction time.

Abstract
The browning inhibition of cysteine on the Maillard reaction of glycine-xylose performed under stepwise increased temperature was investigated. The browning degrees of the final products prepared with cysteine addition at different time points were found dissimilar, and the addition time point of cysteine yielding the lightest browning products was consistent with the time when the glycine-xylose Amadori rearrangement product (GX-ARP) reached its maximum yield. To clarify the reason for browning inhibition caused by cysteine, the evolution of key browning precursors formed in the GX-ARP model with cysteine involved was investigated by HPLC with a diode array detector. The results on the browning degree of the thermal reaction products of GX-ARP with cysteine addition showed great inhibition of α-dicarbonyl generation, which resulted in a significant increase in the activation energy of GX-ARP conversion to browning formation during heat treatment. Strong evidence suggested that the additional cysteine got involved in GX-ARP degradation and reacted with the deoxyosones derived from GX-ARP to yield cyclic 2-threityl-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA). TTCA formation shunted the degradation of deoxyosones into short-chain α-dicarbonyls, which were important browning precursors, and consequently inhibited the Maillard browning.

Abstract
Non-volatile flavor precursors could be used to overcome the flavor loss problems of volatile flavor enhancers during long-term storage. Glu- and Phe-derived Amadori rearrangement products (ARPs) produce pleasant aroma tones thermally but are bitter. We used β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) for debittering Glu-Phe ARPs. ITC analysis indicated that CD-ARP complexes with 1:1 stoichiometry were obtained. NMR analysis indicated that the aromatic ring of Glu-Phe ARPs was embedded in the β-CD cavity. Molecular docking simulations of the bitter taste receptor hT2R1 showed that CD-ARP complex was inactive compared to Glu-Phe ARPs. Complexation with β-CD resulted in the thermal stabilization of Glu-Phe ARPs and a decrease in the degradation rate constant. Compared to Glu-Phe ARPs, the CD-ARP complex in the thermally treated food system slowed down the formation of browning compounds but didn’t inhibit flavor compound formation. The CD-ARP complex is a promising flavor enhancer for applications in flavored and heated foods.

Abstract
Flavonoids (dihydromyricetin, dihydroquercetin, epicatechin, and epigallocatechin) were applied to indicate the critical formation condition of the Amadori rearrangement product (ARP) in Maillard reaction performed under a two-step temperature rising process in the threonine-xylose model system. Threonine-ARP (Thr-ARP) was mixed with dihydromyricetin (DM), dihydroquercetin (DQ), epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin (EGC) before the heat treatment; then, the mixture was tested by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The results showed that these flavonoids trapped the ARP and generated adducts. The A-ring of flavonoids (the meta-polyhydroxylated benzene ring) was the functional group to capture the Thr-ARP. The relative contents of the adducts of DM-Thr-ARP, DQ-Thr-ARP, EC-Thr-ARP, and EGC-Thr-ARP were compared with each other, and it was found that the structure of the C-ring of the flavonoids (the carbonyl group on C-4) significantly impeded the formation of adducts with Thr-ARP, while the number of hydroxyl groups on the B-ring had little influence. The formation of adducts delayed the degradation of Thr-ARP, decreased the production of α-dicarbonyl compounds, and suppressed Maillard browning. In this way, the flavonoids might trace the critical formation conditions of ARP during the two-step temperature rising process.

Abstract
Compared to the method of aqueous Maillard reaction at atmospheric pressure tandem vacuum concentration, a coupling dehydration method combining spray drying and vacuum drying was used to increase aspartic acid-xylose conversion to the Amadori rearrangement product (ARP). The water activity and moisture states were found as effective indicators to characterize the degree of dehydration of Maillard reaction intermediates and efficient formation of ARP. During the vacuum drying process, the water activity of the product powder decreased significantly. Because the formation of ARP was accompanied by intramolecular dehydration, combining spray drying and vacuum drying increased the proportion of bound water in the vacuum-dried product. Free water was easily dissipated via dehydration, which then converted the immobilized water continuously to free water, and the decreased immobilized water further converted the bound water to immobilized water. The reduction in bound water contributed to the intramolecular dehydration of N-substituted d-xylosamine, which would further be transformed to be the ARP through an intramolecular rearrangement. The yield of ARP was increased from 1.68 to 21.53% after spray drying. The ARP yield was substantially increased up to 77.9% by subsequent vacuum drying.

Abstract
2-Threityl-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA), a nonvolatile precursor of flavor and color, is considered to be more stable than its isomeric Amadori compound (ARP). The degradation behavior of TTCA favors higher temperatures and pH. In order to adjust and control the thermal degradation of TTCA to improve its food processing adaptability, a TTCA-Xyl thermal reaction model was constructed to explore the effect of extra-added Xyl on the thermal degradation behavior of TTCA. The results confirmed that the extra-added Xyl was involved in the degradation pathway of TTCA and accelerated its depletion, thus promoting the formation of characteristic downstream products of TTCA including some α-dicarbonyl compounds, and consequently accelerating the browning formation. The isotope-labeling technique was further applied to confirm that the added Xyl could trap the Cys released from the decomposition of ARP and formed additional TTCA, which could promote the movement of chemical equilibrium and gradually accelerate the degradation rate of TTCA as well as melanoidins formation. The higher pH value could even promote this phenomenon.

Key Aspects of Amadori Rearrangement Products as Future Food Additives. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26144314. [PMID: 34299589 PMCID: PMC8303902 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26144314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Flavor is one of the most important factors in attracting consumers and maximizing food quality, and the Maillard reaction (MR) is highly-involved in flavor formation. However, Maillard reaction products have a big drawback in their relatively low stability in thermal treatment and storage. Amadori rearrangement products (ARPs), MR intermediates, can alternatively act as potential flavor additives for their better stability and fresh flavor formation ability. This review aims to elucidate key aspects of ARPs’ future application as flavorings. The development of current analytical technologies enables the precise characterization of ARPs, while advanced preparation methods such as synthesis, separation and drying processes can increase the yield of ARPs to up to 95%. The stability of ARPs is influenced by their chemical nature, pH value, temperature, water activity and food matrix. ARPs are associated with umami and kokumi taste enhancing effects, and the flavor formation is related to amino acids/peptides of the ARPs. Peptide-ARPs can generate peptide-specific flavors, such as: 1,6-dimethy-2(1H)-pyrazinone, 1,5-dimethy-2(1H)-pyrazinone, and 1,5,6-trimethy-2(1H)-pyrazinone. However, further research on systematic stability and toxicology are needed.
