Md. Delcastillo et al., CHANGES IN THE AMINO-ACID-COMPOSITION OF DEHYDRATED ORANGE JUICE DURING ACCELERATED NONENZYMATIC BROWNING, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 46(1), 1998, pp. 277-280
Maillard reaction in dehydrated orange juice stored at 30 or 50 degree
s C and a(w) = 0.44 was studied. The decreases of the total amino acid
s were 30 and 65% of initial concentration after 14 days of storage at
30 and 50 degrees C, respectively. Storage at 50 degrees C for 14 day
s caused a decrease of 11.8 g/L of carbohydrates, and glucose was more
reactive than fructose. Loss of sucrose due to hydrolysis was also ob
served. Presence of 1-(N-substituted)amino-1-deoxy-D-fructose compound
s in stored dehydrated orange juice was detected by thin-layer chromat
ography.
