ABSTRACT Pentose is involved in the browning through the Maillard reaction of food derived of plant origin. During research on the Maillard reaction between xylose (Xyl) and lysine (Lys), we detected 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (HMFO) as a major decomposition product of Xyl. To clarify the chemical pathway of the browning of pentose system, the formation and decomposition of dicarbonyls from HMFO and Xyl were examined. In the HMFO system, HMFO was oxidatively hydrolyzed to form 2-hydroxy-3,4-dioxopentanal, which leads to the formation of methylglyoxal (MGO) and then diacetyl (DA). In the Xyl system, MGO was also the major dicarbonyl degradation product from 1-deoxyxylosone (1-DX). Among Xyl, HMFO, MGO, and DA, MGO turned brown most rapidly in the presence of Lys and formed melanoidin-like brown pigments. In the Xyl system, MGO derived from HMFO and 1-DX most contributed to the browning, although some low-molecular-weight pigments, a colorless polymer, and fluorescent substances were also formed.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of the addition of 0.5% hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and low molecular chitosan on acrylamide and HMF formation in a food model system, which contains 0.5% glucose, asparagine, and HMF within 30 min of heating at 180 °C. At an interval of 10 min, all solutions were evaluated in the following aspects: reducing sugar, asparagine, acrylamide, HMF content, pH, Maillard reaction products, kinematic viscosity, and color. After heating for 10 min, the kinematic viscosity of solutions containing chitosan reduced significantly. The values of the acrylamide, HMF, and absorbance increased at OD294 and OD420 (optical density measured at 294 nm and 420 nm) of solutions. Experimental results showed that low-molecular-weight chitosan might be hydrolyzed into much lower molecular weight, followed by the decrease in kinematic viscosity of the solution at pH lower than 6 and the increase in the formation of acrylamide after heating for 30 min.

The earliest account of the contamination of electron microscope specimens by the deposition of carbonaceous material during electron irradiation was published in 1947 by Watson who was then working in Canada. It was soon established that this carbonaceous material is formed from organic vapours, and it is now recognized that the principal source is the oil-sealed rotary pumps which provide the backing vacuum. It has been shown that the organic vapours consist of low molecular weight fragments of oil molecules which have been degraded at hot spots produced by friction between the vanes and the surfaces on which they slide. As satisfactory oil-free pumps are unavailable, it is standard electron microscope practice to reduce the partial pressure of organic vapours in the microscope in the vicinity of the specimen by using liquid-nitrogen cooled anti-contamination devices. Traps of this type are sufficient to reduce the contamination rate to about 0.1 Å per min, which is tolerable for many investigations.
