Melanoidin formation in L-ascorbic acid-α-amino acids interaction. A comparative study

Abstract

Nondialysable melanoidins have been isolated from the model systems L-ascorbic acid-L-glutamic acid. A comparison with L-ascorbic acid interactions with glycine and L-lysine has been made. The influence of reaction parameters on the formation of melanoidins has been studied. Their fractional and spectral characteristics and the kinetic thermodynamic parameters have been discussed.
