Article Abstract
Pasteurisation and spray drying are critical steps to ensure the safety and shelf-life of formulae, but these treatments also induce formation of some potentially harmful Maillard reaction products. In this study, the occurrence of potentially harmful Maillard reaction products and proximate compositions in different commercial formulae were analysed. Our results showed that infant formulae had significantly higher concentrations of furosine, N-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and N-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) than follow-on/toddler formula. Specialty formulae had higher concentrations of glyoxal and CML than other types of formulae. Correlation analysis indicated that concentrations of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 3-deoxyglucosone, CML and CEL were closely related to fat contents. These results provided insight into concentrations of potentially harmful Maillard reaction products in different types of formulae and provide a theoretical basis for further optimisation of processing.

The Maillard reaction (MR), a non-enzymatic interaction between reducing sugars and amino compounds, plays a pivotal role in developing the flavor, color, and aroma of thermally processed foods. Beyond its culinary relevance, the MR gives rise to a structurally diverse array of compounds, including a novel class of fluorescent nanomaterials known as carbon nanodots (CNDs). These Maillard-derived CNDs, although primarily incidental in food systems, exhibit physicochemical characteristics-such as aqueous solubility, biocompatibility, and tunable fluorescence-that are similar to engineered CNDs currently explored in biomedical fields.

High-temperature treatment is widely employed in the manufacturing of oilseeds and their derivatives to optimize the sensory characteristics, because flavor quality is a critical factor influencing consumer preferences. However, high-temperature treatment leads to several undesirable outcomes, including harmful compound formation and nutrient degradation. Therefore, developing processes to produce oilseed products with desirable sensory characteristics, without compromising food safety and nutritional value, remains an urgent challenge for researchers.

The Maillard reaction refers to the reaction between carbonyl compounds with reducing properties and amino-containing compounds that undergo condensation and polymerization to produce melanoidins. In flour product processing, the Maillard reaction is a critical chemical reaction influencing color, flavor, nutrition, and safety. A moderate Maillard reaction contributes to desirable color and flavor profiles in flour products, whereas an excessive reaction leads to amino acid loss and the formation of harmful substances, posing potential health risks.

Soy sauce (SS) is one of the most popular condiments in the world. However, Nε-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), harmful Maillard reaction products, are present in SS. Worse still, their primary sources in SS production remain unclear, and their contents increase during the consumption of heated SS.

The Maillard reaction is a complex chemical reaction that occurs between nucleophilic groups, such as thiolates or amino groups primarily from amino acids, peptides, proteins, and carbonyl groups, particularly from reducing sugars. The pH value of the medium is a key parameter controlling the kinetics of the Maillard reaction, as it influences the concentration of nucleophilic groups. Other specific conditions of reaction medium such as temperature, reaction time (or residence time in a process), and water activity also significantly influence the Maillard reaction.
