摘要
The main objective of this study was to further investigate whether the occurrence of Strecker degradation in krill-based products is due to the presence of N-Acetylglucosamine (amino sugar derived from krill exoskeleton) or lipid-derived carbonyls. A simple model system comprising amino acids was incubated at 60 degrees C for 0, 3, 9, and 24h with five selected lipid-derived carbonyls or five Strecker-derived volatiles or an amino sugar. The presence of both amino sugar and lipid-derived carbonyls (especially ,-unsaturated aldehydes) caused non-enzymatic browning reactions: (i) pyrrole formation; (ii) browning development; and (iii) Strecker degradation of amino acids, with a faster reaction rate by amino sugar. In addition, the presence of a high level of Strecker degradation products might enhance pyrrole formation. Practical applications: This work provides information about the Strecker degradation of amino acids induced by amino sugar (N-Acetylglucosamine) and lipid-derived carbonyl compounds, and the increase of pyrrole formation is ascribed to the presence of a high level of Strecker degradation products. The obtained knowledge from this fundamental study explains the occurrence of Strecker degradation in krill products especially after enzymatic treatment due to the increased level of amino acids, lipid oxidation products and amino sugar derived from krill shell. This information is not only applicable to krill matrix but also to similar matrices from other food systems.
