This report shows the effect of rye flour extraction rate on Maillard reaction, antioxidant activity, and acrylamide formation during toasting of rye bread crisps. Four rye flours with extraction rates of 70, 85, 95, and 100% were tested. Maillard reaction development was studied by measuring browning development, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and glucosilisomaltol (GIM) formation, as well as antioxidant activity. Results showed that HMF and GIM concentrations in toasted bread crisps were higher as the flour extraction rate increases. Antioxidant activity increased during toasting as a consequence of antioxidant Maillard reaction product formation. Acrylamide concentration was clearly affected by free asparagine content of flour, while no effect of dietary fiber and natural antioxidant content of flours had an effect on acrylamide formation. Overall data suggest that the rate of Maillard reaction is higher in whole flours because of their higher free amino acid and protein content.
