Maillard model systems consisting of labeled D-[(13)C]glucoses and L-[(13)C]alanines have been utilized to identify the origin of carbon atoms in glycolaldehyde, pyruvaldehyde, 1-hydroxy-2-propanone (acetol), 2,3-butanedione, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, 2,3-pentanedione, and compounds containing C(5) and C(6) intact glucose carbon chains. The origin of carbon atoms in glycolaldehyde and pyruvaldehyde was inferred from the analysis of label incorporation pattern of methyl and dimethylpyrazines. The origin of carbon atoms in the remaining compounds was determined by direct analysis. The data indicated that glycolaldehyde incorporated intact C5-C6 and C1-C2 carbon chains of glucose. Acetol and pyruvaldehyde incorporated intact C1-C2-C3 and C4-C5-C6 carbon chains of glucose. On the other hand, 2, 3-butanedione and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone incorporated intact C3-C4-C5-C6 carbon chain of glucose. In addition, analysis of compounds containing intact glucose C(5) carbon chains have indicated that glucose in the presence of L-alanine can lose either C-1 atom to produce a pentitol moiety responsible for the formation of furanmethanol or it can lose the C-6 atom to produce a pentose moiety responsible for the formation of furfural. Plausible mechanisms, consistent with the observed label incorporation, were proposed for the formation of sugar degradation products.  相似文献

A few odor-active epoxyaldehydes, formed during lipid peroxidation, have recently been reported as intense aroma compounds in foods. However, very little is known about their flavor properties in general. Syntheses of homologous trans-2,3-epoxyalkanals (C(6)-C(12)) and trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-alkenals (C(7)-C(12)) followed by structural characterization using mass spectrometry (MS/EI; MS/CI) and (1)H NMR measurements were performed. An evaluation of their odor qualities and odor thresholds by gas chromatography-olfactometry revealed the following: within the trans-2,3-epoxyalkanals, the odor quality changed from grassy for the compounds with six and seven carbon atoms to citrus-like or soapy for aldehydes with eight and more carbon atoms. The odor thresholds lay in the range of 3-15 ng/L (in air) and were nearly identical within the series; however, a slight minimum was measured for trans-2,3-epoxyoctanal to trans-2,3-epoxydecanal. In the series of the trans-4,5-epoxyalk-(E)-2-enals the C(10) compound was characterized by the lowest odor threshold of 0.6-2.5 pg/L of air. However, all trans-4,5-epoxy-alk-(E)-2-enals smelled intensely metallic.  相似文献

Pyrolysis was used as a microscale sample preparation tool to generate glucose/alanine reaction products to minimize the use of expensive labeled precursors in isotope labeling studies. The residue remaining after the pyrolysis at 250 °C was analyzed by electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS). It was observed that a peak at m/z 199.1445 in the ESI-TOF-MS spectrum appeared only when the model system contained at least 2-fold excess alanine. The accurate mass determination indeed indicated the presence of two nitrogen atoms in the molecular formula (C(10)H(18)N(2)O(2)). To verify the origin of the carbon atoms in this unknown compound, model studies with [(13)U(6)]glucose, [(13)C-1]alanine, [(13)C-2]alanine, [(13)C-3]alanine, and [(15)N]alanine were also performed. Glucose furnished six carbon atoms, and alanine provides four carbon (2 × C-2 and 2 × C-3) and two nitrogen atoms. When commercially available fructosylalanine (N-attached to C-1) was reacted with only 1 mol of alanine, a peak at m/z 199.1445 was once again observed. In addition, when 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) was reacted with a 2-fold excess of alanine, a peak at m/z 199.1433 was also generated, confirming the points of attachment of the two amino acids at C-1 and C-2 atoms of 3-DG. These studies have indicated that amino acids can undergo multiple addition reactions with 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds such as 3-deoxyglucosone and eventually form a tetrahydropyrazine moiety.  相似文献

Maillard model systems consisting of labeled D-[(13)C]glucoses, L-[(15)N]methionine, and L-[methyl-(13)C]methionine, have been utilized to identify the amino acid and carbohydrate fragmentation pathways occurring in the model system through Py-GC/MS analysis. The label incorporation analyses have indicated that the carbohydrate moiety produces 1-deoxy- and 3-deoxyglucosones and undergoes C(2)/C(4) and C(3)/C(3) cleavages to produce glycolaldehyde, tetrose, and C(3)-reactive sugar derivatives such as acetol, glyceraldehyde, and pyruvaldehyde. Glycolaldehyde was found to incorporate C-1, C-2 (70%) and C-5, C-6 (30%) glucose carbon fragments, whereas the tetrose moiety incorporates only C-3, C-4, C-5, C-6 glucose carbon atoms. In addition, the major source of reactive C(3) fragments was found to contain C-4, C-5, C-6 sugar moiety. On the other hand, methionine alone also generated Strecker aldehyde as detected by its condensation product with 3-(methylthio)propylamine. Plausible mechanisms were proposed for the formation of the interaction products between sugar and amino acid degradation products on the basis of the label incorporation patterns.  相似文献

Addition of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) or an inhibitor of the BCAA biochemical pathways during fermentation of milk with a lac(-) mutant of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus strongly influenced the formation of two aroma-impact compounds, 2,3-butanedione and 2,3-pentanedione, as well as their direct precursors 2-acetolactate and 2-acetohydroxybutyrate. This suggests a connection between vicinal diketone formation and BCAA biosynthesis in yogurt bacteria. A recently developed static-and-trapped headspace technique combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry demonstrated incorporation of (13)C from [U-(13)C(6)]-D-glucose and [U-(13)C(4)]-L-threonine into both vicinal diketones. For 2,3-butanedione, glucose is the major precursor via pyruvate and activated acetaldehyde. For 2, 3-pentanedione, L-threonine is a precursor via 2-ketobutyrate, but glucose is the major contributor via activated acetaldehyde and, possibly, also via 2-ketobutyrate, which is a degradation product of 3-methylaspartate, an intermediate in glutamate synthesis.  相似文献

Studies performed on model systems using pyrolysis-GC-MS analysis and (13)C-labeled sugars and amino acids in addition to ascorbic acid have indicated that certain amino acids such as serine and cysteine can degrade and produce acetaldehyde and glycolaldehyde that can undergo aldol condensation to produce furan after cyclization and dehydration steps. Other amino acids such as aspartic acid, threonine, and alpha-alanine can degrade and produce only acetaldehyde and thus need sugars as a source of glycolaldehyde to generate furan. On the other hand, monosaccharides are also known to undergo degradation to produce both acetaldehyde and glycolaldehyde; however, (13)C-labeling studies have revealed that hexoses in general will mainly degrade into the following aldotetrose derivatives to produce the parent furan-aldotetrose itself, incorporating the C3-C4-C5-C6 carbon chain of glucose (70%); 2-deoxy-3-ketoaldotetrose; incorporating the C1-C2-C3-C4 carbon chain of glucose (15%); and 2-deoxyaldotetrose, incorporating the C2-C3-C4-C5 carbon chain of glucose (15%). Furthermore, it was also proposed that under nonoxidative conditions of pyrolysis, ascorbic acid can generate the 2-deoxyaldotetrose moiety, a direct precursor of the parent furan. In addition, 4-hydroxy-2-butenal-a known decomposition product of lipid peroxidation-was proposed as a precursor of furan originating from polyunsaturated fatty acids. Among the model systems studied, ascorbic acid had the highest potential to produce furan, followed by glycolaldehyde/alanine > erythrose > ribose/serine > sucrose/serine > fructose/serine > glucose/cysteine.  相似文献

The biotransformation of a series of aliphatic aldehydes (C(8)-C(12)) by Bacillus megaterium isolated from strawberry leaf surfaces was investigated. Products were isolated by liquid/liquid extraction and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS). In addition to aliphatic alcohols and the remaining aldehydes, major transformation products included the corresponding acids as well as 2,3-dialkylacroleins, dehydrated aldol addition products, which were detected for the first time as biotransformation products. To verify the structures, 2,3-dialkylacroleins were chemically synthesized from the appropriate aldehydes by base-catalyzed aldol condensation reactions and characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. Time-course studies showed that the maximum yield of the acrolein derivatives was obtained after 6 days of incubation.  相似文献

The volatiles in the headspace above a solution of [(13)C(6)]fructose and alanine in glycerol/water, heated in a closed vial at 130 degrees C for 2 h, were analyzed by solid-phase microextraction in tandem with GC-MS. Carbonyl compounds and pyrazines were among the detected components. The examination of their mass spectra showed that most of the 1-hydroxy-2-propanone and 2,3-pentanedione were (13)C(3)-labeled, the majority of the 2-methylpyrazine and 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine were (13)C(5)-labeled, and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine were mainly (13)C(6)-labeled. This is in agreement with the literature, and corresponds to the incorporation of fructose carbons, and in the case of 2,3-pentanedione, 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine, and 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine alanine carbons, into the molecules. However, minority fractions of 1-hydroxy-2-propanone (10%) and 2,3-pentanedione (14%) were found unlabeled, 2-methylpyrazine (10%) and 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine (11%) only doubly labeled, and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (20%) and 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine (27%) only triply labeled, suggesting they contain carbons originating from the solvent glycerol. This could be confirmed by reaction of fructose and alanine in [(13)C(3)]glycerol/water, which produced the same volatiles, with 11-27% existent in their (13)C(3)-labeled form. Hence, glycerol participated not only as a solvent but also as a precursor in the reaction.  相似文献

The chemical reactivity of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde (HMF) with lysine, glycine, and proline was studied using isotope labeling technique. To confirm the formation of HMF adducts in glucose amino acid model systems, a useful strategy was developed in which products simultaneously possessing six glucose (HMF moiety) and any number of amino acid carbon atoms in addition to nitrogen were targeted using specifically labeled precursors such as [(15)N(α)]lysine·2HCl, [(15)N(ε)]lysine·2HCl, [U-(13)C(6)]lysine·2HCl, [(13)C(6)]lysine·2HCl, and [U-(13)C(6)]glucose in the case of lysine model system. In addition, model systems containing HMF and amino acids were also studied to confirm specific adduct formation. Complete labeling studies along with structural analysis using appropriate synthetic precursors such as HMF Schiff base adducts of piperidine and glycine have indicated that HMF generated in the glucose/amino acid model systems initially forms a Schiff base adduct that can undergo decarboxylation through an oxazolidin-5-one intermediate and form two isomeric decarboxylated Schiff bases. Unlike the Schiff bases resulting from primary amines or amino acids such as glycine or lysine, those resulting from secondary amino acids such as proline or secondary amines such as piperidine can further undergo vinylogous Amadori rearrangement, forming N-substituted 5-(aminomethyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde derivatives.  相似文献

An intensely orange compound, which has recently been evaluated as one of the main colored compounds formed in Maillard reactions of hexoses, could be unequivocally identified as (Z)-2-[(2-furyl)methylidene]-5,6-di(2-furyl)-6H-pyran-3-one (1) by application of several NMR and LC-MS experiments. To clarify its formation, the effectiveness of certain carbohydrate degradation products as precursors of 1 was studied in a quantitative experiment demonstrating hydroxy-2-propanone, furan-2-aldehyde, and 3-deoxy-2-hexosulose as precursors of the colorant. Site-specific labeling experiments with D-1-[(13)C]glucose and D-6-[(13)C]glucose, respectively, were performed to elucidate the formation pathway of 1 involving a cleavage of the hexose skeleton between carbon atoms C(5) and C(6). In addition, pentoses could be shown to generate 1 via a similar formation pathway involving the 3-deoxy-2-pentosulose.  相似文献

Formation of flavor compounds from branched-chain alpha-keto acids in fermented foods such as cheese is believed to be mainly an enzymatic process, while the conversion of phenyl pyruvic acid, which is derived from phenylalanine, also proceeds chemically. In this research, the chemical conversion of alpha-keto acids to aldehydes with strong flavor characteristics was studied, with the main focus on the conversion of alpha-ketoisocaproic acid to the aldehyde 2-methylpropanal, and a manganese-catalyzed reaction mechanism is proposed for this conversion. The mechanism involves keto-enol tautomerism, enabling molecular oxygen to react with the beta-carbon atom of the alpha-keto acid, resulting in a peroxide. This peroxide can react in several ways, leading to unstable dioxylactone or noncyclic intermediates. These intermediates will break down into an aldehyde and oxalate or carbon oxides (CO and CO(2)). All the alpha-keto acids tested were converted at pH 5.5 and in the presence of manganese, although their conversion rates were rather diverse. This chemical reaction might provide new ways for controlling cheese flavor formation with the aim of acceleration of the ripening process or diversification of the flavor characteristics.  相似文献

The headspace volatiles produced from a phosphate-buffered solution (pH 5) of cysteine and a 1 + 1 mixture of ribose and [(13)C(5)]ribose, heated at 95 degrees C for 4 h, were examined by headspace SPME in combination with GC-MS. MS data indicated that fragmentation of ribose did not play a significant role in the formation of the sulfur aroma compounds 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, 2-furfurylthiol, and 3-mercapto-2-pentanone in which the carbon skeleton of ribose remained intact. The methylfuran moiety of 2-methyl-3-(methylthio)furan originated from ribose, whereas the methylthio carbon atoms came partly from ribose and partly from cysteine. In 3-mercapto-2-butanone one carbon unit was split from the ribose chain. On the other hand, all carbon atoms in 3-thiophenethiol stemmed from cysteine. In another trial cysteine, 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone and [(13)C(5)]ribose were reacted under the same conditions. The resulting 2-methyl-3-furanthiol was mainly (13)C(5)-labeled, suggesting that it stems from ribose and that 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone is unimportant as an intermediate. Whereas 2-mercapto-3-pentanone was found unlabeled and hence originated from 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone, its isomer 3-mercapto-2-pentanone was formed from both 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone and ribose. A new reaction pathway from ribose via its 1,4-dideoxyosone is proposed, which explains both the formation of 2-methyl-3-furanthiol without 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone as an intermediate and a new way to form 3-mercapto-2-pentanone.  相似文献

Acrylamide in foods: occurrence,sources, and modeling   总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24  
Acrylamide in food products-chiefly in commercially available potato chips, potato fries, cereals, and bread-was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Samples were homogenized with water/dichloromethane, centrifuged, and filtered through a 5 kDa filter. The filtrate was cleaned up on mixed mode, anion and cation exchange (Oasis MAX and MCX) and carbon (Envirocarb) cartridges. Analysis was done by isotope dilution ([D(3)]- or [(13)C(3)]acrylamide) electrospray LC-MS/MS using a 2 x 150 mm (or 2 x 100 mm) Thermo HyperCarb column eluted with 1 mM ammonium formate in 15% (or 10% for the 2 x 100 mm column) methanol. Thirty samples of foods were analyzed. Concentrations of acrylamide varied from 14 ng/g (bread) to 3700 ng/g (potato chips). Acrylamide was formed during model reactions involving heating of mixtures of amino acids and glucose in ratios similar to those found in potatoes. In model reactions between amino acids and glucose, asparagine was found to be the main precursor of acrylamide. Thus, in the reaction between nitrogen-15 (amido)-labeled asparagine and glucose, corresponding (15)N-labeled acrylamide was formed. The yield of the model reaction is approximately 0.1%.  相似文献

The stable isotope characterization of resveratrol 1 from Polygonum cuspidatum and of related natural stilbenes 11 and 12 obtained by hydrolysis of the corresponding glucosides 2 and 3 from Rheum is reported. The C(6)-C(2)-C(6) framework of suitably protected derivatives of 1, 2, and 3 has been degraded with ozone to the C(6)-C(1) aldehydes 4, 5, 9, and 10, retaining all hydrogen atoms of the precursors. The natural and synthetic derivatives are characterized and distinguished by natural abundance deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance studies. In the case of anisaldehyde 4 the two series show, as expected, the characteristic difference of the aromatic labeling. The formyl deuterium contents of 4 and 5 from resveratrol are remarkably different, seemingly reflecting the different enrichments existing between positions 3 and 2, respectively, of the phenylpropanoid precursor. The positional delta(18)O values of the extractive materials 1-3 were also determined. In this instance a selective deoxygenation procedure was adopted, leading from 1 to the products 6, 7, and 8. The delta(18)O values of the latter compounds reveal, respectively, those at position 4' and positions 3 and 5 of 1. Similarly, the phenolic products 11 and 12 were converted into 13 and 14. From the delta(18)O values of the single components it is possible to design a detailed map of the oxygen fractionations which characterizes the stilbenes 1-3. In particular, the oxygen present at position 4' of the phenylpropanoid moiety of 1-3 shows delta(18)O values of +11.5, +1.8, and +6.7 per thousand, respectively. Moreover, the phenolic oxygen atom at position 3' of rhapontin 3 shows a value of +11.7 per thousand. The data are compared with those previously obtained on structurally related compounds. These results show the utility of simple chemical degradations in the stable isotope characterization of structurally complex food components.  相似文献

The volatiles formed from [1-(13)C]-ribose and cysteine during 4 h at 95 degrees C in aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 5) were analyzed by headspace SPME in combination with GC-MS. The extent and position of the labeling were determined using MS data. The identified volatiles comprised sulfur compounds such as 2-[(13)C]methyl-3-furanthiol, 2-[(13)CH(2)]furfurylthiol, [1-(13)C]-3-mercaptopentan-2-one, [1-(13)C]-3-mercaptobutan-2-one, [4-(13)C]-3-mercaptobutan-2-one, and 3-mercaptobutan-2-one. The results confirm furan-2-carbaldehyde as an intermediate of 2-furfurylthiol, as well as 1,4-dideoxypento-2,3-diulose as an intermediate of 2-methyl-3-furanthiol and 3-mercaptopentan-2-one. Loss of the C-1 and C-5 carbon moieties during the formation of 3-mercaptobutan-2-one suggests two different mechanisms leading to the key intermediate butane-2,3-dione.  相似文献

A quick headspace GC method for quantification of volatiles was developed, involving only minor sample preparation. Yogurt flavor compounds could be quantified in the micrograms per kilogram to milligrams per kilogram range without any difficulty, despite the complex matrix. Volatiles of traditional acidic and mild, less acidic yogurts were compared, and important differences were found for acetaldehyde, 2,3-butanedione, and 2,3-pentanedione. Concentrations of 2,3-butanedione and 2,3-pentanedione increased 2-3-fold in mild, less acidic yogurts compared to traditional acidic ones. This is due to accumulation of the precursors of the diketones, 2-acetolactate and 2-acetohydroxybutyrate, during fermentation in mild, less acidic yogurt. These precursors are subsequently converted to the corresponding diketones during storage. On the contrary, acetaldehyde formation was reduced in the mild yogurt, due to growth differences between the lactic acid bacteria used for fermentation of the milk. The quantitative results presented in this study validate previous GC sniffing conclusions (Ott et al. J. Agric. Food Chem. 1997, 45, 850-858), showing that yogurt aroma is the superposition of impact flavor compounds generated by fermentation on milk compounds.  相似文献

Thermal decomposition of HMF has been so far studied indirectly through carbohydrate degradation reactions assuming HMF as the main product. Such studies, however, do not necessarily generate relevant information on HMF decomposition because many other products are generated simultaneously. Direct thermal decomposition using different concentrations of HMF in silica gel was studied using pyrolysis-GC-MS. Undiluted HMF generated four peaks corresponding to 5-methylfurfural, 2,5-furandicarboxaldehdye, HMF, and a major unknown peak at retention time of 20.73 min. The diluted HMF in silica gel (15-fold) generated only the first three peaks. The generation of the unknown peak was dependent on the concentration of HMF, indicating the possibility of a dimeric structure; furthermore, when HMF was generated from [U-13C6]glucose in the reaction mixture, the highest mass in the spectrum of the unknown peak showed the incorporation of 11 carbon atoms from the glucose. Thermal decomposition studies of HMF have also indicated that in the absence of amino acids it can mainly dimerize and the initially formed dimer can degrade to generate 5-methylfurfural and 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde. On the other hand, thermal degradation of HMF in the presence of glycine generated Schiff base adducts of HMF, 5-methylfurfural, and 2,5-furandicarboxaldehdye in addition to 2-acetyl-5-methylfuran and a newly discovered adduct, 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-2-furanmethanol.  相似文献

Mechanisms of how epicatechin alters the pathways of the Maillard reaction were investigated. Carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 labeling studies were utilized to define the reactivity of epicatechin with glucose, glycine, and/or reaction products in an aqueous model (pH 7, 125 degrees C for 30 min) via GC, GC/MS and HPLC/MS analysis. Quantification of the volatile reaction product isotopomers by GC/MS from a 1:1 labeled to unlabeled glucose (carbohydrate module labeling technique) plus glycine model system indicated the formation of 2,3-butanedione and acetol were primarily formed via intact C4 and C3 sugar fragments, whereas pyrazine, methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, and cyclotene were primarily formed via intact C2/C2, C2/C3, C3/C3, C3/C3, and C3/C3 sugar fragment pairs, respectively. The formation of these seven compounds was also reported by GC analysis to be dramatically inhibited when epicatechin was added to the glucose/glycine model system (observed 9-113-fold reduction). HPLC/MS analysis of both the glucose-labeled and glycine-labeled model systems with and without epicatechin indicated that epicatechin reacted directly with C2, C3, and C4 sugar fragments, while epicatechin did not report any direct reactivity with glycine. In conclusion, the quenching of sugar fragmentation products via epicatechin was correlated with the observed inhibition on volatile compound formation when epicatechin was added to a glucose/glycine aqueous reaction model system.  相似文献

On the basis of the recent findings that "biogenic amines" can also be formed during thermal food processing from their parent amino acids in a Strecker-type reaction, the formation of 3-aminopropionamide, the biogenic amine of asparagine, was investigated in model systems as well as in thermally processed Gouda cheese. The results of model studies revealed that, besides acrylamide, 3-aminopropionamide was also formed in amounts of 0.1-0.4 mol % when asparagine was reacted in the presence of either glucose or 2-oxopropionic acid. Results of a second series of model experiments in which [(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-asparagine ([(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-Asn) and unlabeled 3-aminopropionamide were reacted together in the presence of glucose revealed a >12-fold higher efficacy of 3-aminopropionamide in acrylamide generation as compared to asparagine. Both [(13)C(3)(15)N(2)]-3-aminopropionamide and [(13)C(3)(15)N(1)]-acrylamide were formed during [(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-Asn degradation in a ratio of about 1:4, supporting the idea that 3-aminopropionamide is a transient intermediate in acrylamide formation. In this study, 3-aminopropionamide was identified and quantified for the first time in foods, namely, in Gouda cheese. Although the fresh cheese contained low amounts of 3-aminopropionamide, its concentrations were much increased to approximately 1300 mug/kg after thermal processing. In isotope labeling studies, performed by administering to the cheese [(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-Asn in a ratio of 1:2 as compared to the "natural" concentrations of asparagine, similar ratios of unlabeled/labeled 3-aminopropionamide and unlabeled/labeled acrylamide were determined. Thus, 3-aminopropionamide could be verified as a transient intermediate of acrylamide formation during food processing.  相似文献

The formation of furan and 2-methylfuran was studied in model systems based on sugars and selected amino acids. Both compounds were preferably formed under roasting conditions in closed systems yielding up to 330 micromol of furan and 260 micromol of 2-methylfuran per mol of precursor. The amounts obtained under pressure cooking conditions were much lower, usually below 20 micromol/mol, except for 2-furaldehyde, which yielded 70-100 micromol/mol of furan. Labeling studies indicated two major formation pathways for both furans: (i) from the intact sugar skeleton and (ii) by recombination of reactive C(2) and/or C(3) fragments. Under roasting conditions in the absence of amino acids, furan was mainly formed from the intact sugar skeleton. Formic and acetic acid were identified as byproducts of sugar degradation, indicating the split off of C(1) and/or C(2) units from hexoses. The presence of alanine, threonine, or serine promoted furan formation by the recombination of C(2) fragments, such as acetaldehyde and glycolaldehyde, which may originate from both sugars and amino acids. In aqueous solution, about half of furan was generated by the recombination of sugar fragments. 2-Methylfuran was preferably formed in the presence of amino acids by aldol-type reactions of C(2) and C(3) fragments with lactaldehyde as a key intermediate, the Strecker aldehyde of threonine. The total furan levels in cooked vegetables were increased by spiking with hexoses. However, in pumpkin puree, only about 20% of furan was formed from sugars, preferably from the intact carbon skeleton.  相似文献
