Some volatile compounds formed from thermal interaction of glucose with glycine, diglycine, triglycine, and tetraglycine

Equimolar aqueous solutions of glycine, diglycine, triglycine, and tetraglycine were heated separately with D-glucose at 180 degree C at pH 4-5 in a Parr bomb for 2 h. The volatile compounds generated from the reaction were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The...

Description
Summary:Equimolar aqueous solutions of glycine, diglycine, triglycine, and tetraglycine were heated separately with D-glucose at 180 degree C at pH 4-5 in a Parr bomb for 2 h. The volatile compounds generated from the reaction were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The Maillard reaction of glucose with glycine and triglycine produced significantly greater amounts of pyrazines than that with either diglycine or tetraglycine. The similarity of the results of glycine with triglycine and diglycine with tetraglycine in the pyrazine formation also suggests that tripeptides or tetrapeptides could be degraded through diketopiperazines
