On-line MS/MS monitoring of acrylamide generation in potato- and cereal-based systems

An on-line MS/MS technique was used to study the generation of acrylamide in rye-, wheat-, and potato-based systems during cooking. Acrylamide release to the gas phase was monitored continuously and was correlated with the acrylamide content of samples using a calibration based upon the partition of [1,2,3-13C3]acrylamide. On-line results at 180 degrees C were compared with data relating to the same systems obtained through GC-MS analysis. Agreement between the two techniques was notable, both in terms of the temporal profiles of acrylamide generation and when comparing the relative magnitudes of results for potato, wheat, and rye determined by each method. The effects of pH (citric acid) and added amino acids (soy protein hydrolysate) on the generation of acrylamide in hydrated potato flake were modeled at 180 degrees C. It was concluded that a combined treatment of low levels of each additive could result in significant reductions in acrylamide, although the effects of such treatments on sensory properties such as color and flavor remain to be evaluated.
