E. DWORSCHÁK and V. TARJÁN Institute of Nutrition, H-1097 Gyáliút3/a, Budapest, Hungary S. TUROS Kanold AB, Göteborg, Sweden Milk-crumbs and soya-crumbs are new aroma sources produced by the Maillard reaction and intended to be used in the food industry. During the production of the crumbs thermal reactions take place in the material (e.g. milk) and the added glucose and amino acid constituents. Fructose-lysine and lactulose-lysine, biologically active Amadori compounds, are formed in high levels in the milk-crumb, but much less in the soya-crumb, caused by lysine degradation. Extracts from the crumbs show only a low mutagenic activity measured by Ames test. Soya-crumb has a significant antioxidant effect; for this reason its possible role in the food industry is discussed. The KANOLD AB Company has developed a series of new materials, produced from mixtures of skimmed milk, glucose, and lysine (or other basic amino acids) by drying on a roller at a temperature of 125°C (1). Instead of skimmed milk, soya flour can be used as basic material. The new products, named milkand soya-crumbs respectively, have a very pleasant odor resembling that of caramel. The yellow to deep-brown coloration and the aroma characteristics are attributed to the Maillard reaction. According to experiments carried out in the confectionery industry, up to 50% of cocoa powder could be replaced by the crumbs without any significant changes in flavor, appearance, or consistency of food products, e.g. in chocolates. Our aim was to investigate some chemical properties as well as the possible mutagenic effects of the new materials. We determined the content of furosine, which is an amino acid derivative formed by acid hydrolysis of fructose-lysine or lactulose-lysine (2) (Fig. 1).

Discussion

Table I shows the f u r o s i n e c o n t e n t o f t h e m i l k - c r u m b and soya-crumb samples i n comparison to o t h e r food p r o t e i n sources thermally processed. Milk-crumb has the highest furosine content, probably due t o the f r e e l y s i n e and g l u c o s e added i n the production; moreover, the milk p r o t e i n has also a c o n s i d e r a b l e l e v e l of p r o t e i n - b o u n d lysine. D a t a f r o m T a b l e I p o i n t out t h a t o t h e r m i l k - b a s e d products are likely to form Amadori products, in this case lactulose-lysine and f r u c t o s e - l y s i n e , even u n d e r moderate thermal treatments. The f u r o s i n e c o n t e n t , o r i g i n a t i n g f r o m the acid h y d r o l y s i s of Amadori p r o d u c t s , was h i g h i n a w h i p p i n g a g e n t made f r o m sugar and Na c a s e i n a t e . It is surprising, however, that c h e e s e s have also relatively high furosine levels.

MAILLARD REACTIONS

Milk-crumbs and soya-crumbs belong to this group. Their favorable organoleptic characters and good adaptability to further technological processes have been established, but more scientific investigations are s t i l l needed. The analysis of the aroma constituents of the crumbs is a task for the future. The potential toxicity of the Amadori products (e.g. fructose-lysine) is s t i l l uncertain. The high levels of furosine in the milk-crumb add to the need to settle this question. Our experiments on the mutagenicity of these materials revealed that a water extract of the crumbs did not give a positive Ames test. On the other hand the ethanol extract after distillation produced reverted colonies in the range of the positive control (2-AF) with the most sensitive strains, but only without metabolic activation. The Maillard products responsible for mutations seemed to be metabolized in the living organism. In view of our experiments and the present international evaluation on heat-processed foods, the crumbs present no more detrimental risk to human health than other heat-processed foods, when consumed. The model experiments on the antioxidative effect of crumbs revealed the potential ability of the soya-crumb to prevent lipid oxidation in certain foods. The mild acid medium of meat products seems to be favorable for fulfilling this hope. However, further investigations in food products are necessary to obtain a decisive answer. As the case of milk crumb shows, a Maillard product is not necessarily an antioxidant. Literature Cited 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
