Gogus, F. | Wedzicha, B.L. | Lamb, J.
The effect of reactants on the Maillard reaction of a gel matrix [microcrystalline cellulose (220 g kg-1), agar (10 g kg-1), glucose (9 g kg-1), glycine (3.7 g kg-1)] during the dehydration in air at 80 degrees C was studied. The moisture content, glucose, glycine and reaction product distributions were obtained in a cylindrical sample of gel matrix. It was found that the reaction products increased with increasing solute concentrations. Distribution data were used to develop a model describing the Maillard reaction in the gel matrix as a function of solute concentration. The model was in agreement with the experimental data.
