Nondialyzable glucose-lysine (Glu-Lys) and fructose-lysine (Fru-Lys) Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were synthesized by reacting 0.8 M L-lysine with 0.8M D-glucose or 0.8 M D-fructose using 14 different combinations of reaction time, temperature, initial pH, and initial water activity. The extent of browning in each reaction was monitored by UV-vis absorbance spectra, absorbance at 420 nm, and the yield of nondialyzable MRPs. Crude MRPs were fractionated further by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Although the relative concentration and the number of unidentified intermediate compounds present in Glu-Lys and Fru-Lys MRP mixtures varied considerably, two principal components for both Glu-Lys and Fru-Lys MRP mixtures with molecular masses of approximately 5700 and 12 400 Da were identified by MALDI-MS. Elementary composition and copper chelating affinity of crude and fractionated MRPs were greatly influenced by type of reactant sugar and reaction conditions used for synthesis. Glucose, in general, produced MRPs with relatively higher copper chelating affinity, possessing higher percentages of carbon and lesser percentages of nitrogen compared to counterpart Fru-Lys MRPs.
