Abstract: The effects of temperatures on the development of the Maillard reaction in aqueous model systems containing glucoseand glycine heat treated for different times at three temperatures respectively (80℃, 100℃ and 120℃) were studied. Inparticular, an investigation was carried out into the different temperatures used on the degradation of sugars and amino acid andthe extent of accumulation of browning intermediates, such as Amadori product, organic acid, brown pigment formation and pHchanges. Results showed that, with increasing temperature and time the rate of reactions rose.

Key words: Maillard reaction, glucose, glycine, temperature
