An Investigation of the Complexity of Maillard Reaction Product Profiles from the Thermal Reaction of Amino Acids with Sucrose Using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Thermal treatment of food changes its chemical composition drastically with the formation of "so-called" Maillard reaction products, being responsible for the sensory properties of food, along with detrimental and beneficial health effects. In this contribution, we will describe the reactivity of several amino acids, including arginine, lysine, aspartic acid, tyrosine, serine and cysteine, with carbohydrates. The analytical strategy employed involves high and ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry followed by chemometric-type data analysis. The different reactivity of amino acids towards carbohydrates has been observed with cysteine and serine, resulting in complex MS spectra with thousands of detectable reaction products. Several compounds have been tentatively identified, including caramelization reaction products, adducts of amino acids with carbohydrates, their dehydration and hydration products, disproportionation products and aromatic compounds based on molecular formula considerations.

Project description:Glucose-lysine based Maillard reaction products (MRPs) are introduced to the human body via food ingestion or are synthesized in vivo. Depending on reaction conditions, they represent a mixture of compounds with diverse chemical structures and physiological properties. MRPs may also be a potential nutrient source for Salmonella, a major foodborne gastrointestinal pathogen. This study was designed to determine the growth and transcriptional responses of S. Typhimurium LT2 to MRPs generated at low water activity to simulate the reaction occurring during food processing and storage. Maillard reactions between N-α-acetyl-lysine and glucose were varied in time (4, 23, and 143 h) to generate sub-samples with prevailing Amadori compound, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), or melanoidines respectively. The addition of MRP up to 5 mg mL-1 to defined media with 0.4% glucose had no effect on S. Typhimurium LT2 growth. In media, where the MRP sub-samples (4 and 23 h) served as the only carbon source, MRP assimilation by S. Typhimurium LT2 was observed as secondary logarithmic growth phases (0.063 h-1 and 0.072 h-1) after the growth on glucose available in the MRP reaction mixtures (0.479 h-1). The MRPs sub-sample with the highest concentration of melanoidines (143 h) also supported S. Typhimurium LT2 growth (0.368 h-1). Of the three MRPs sub-samples, the Amadori compound was the preferred carbon source for S. Typhimurium LT2 as evidenced by its almost complete disappearance (98%). Decreases in AGEs (37%) and melanoidines (15%), when incubated with S. Typhimurium LT2, also occurred. Transcription profiles of the cells grown on the MRPs fractions revealed predominant up-regulation of genes associated with the functional groups of energy metabolism, fatty and phospholipid metabolism, cellular process, and regulatory functions, and general down-regulation of the genes in the groups of amino acid biosynthesis, protein synthesis and transcription, transport and binding proteins, and DNA metabolism. The carbon flow in tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle partitioned by the glyoxylate cycle appeared to play an essential role in the assimilation of glucose-lysine-derived MRPs. The high expression level of numerous genes encoding hypothetical proteins or proteins with unknown function suggested the presence of genes whose role in glucose-lysine MRPs catabolism in Salmonella remains to be determined.
