Effects of 3-deoxyglucosone on the Maillard reaction.
We investigated the effect of exogenously applied 3-deoxyglucosone, a major carbonyl intermediate, on the Maillard reaction. The fluorescence intensity of the product of the reaction of bovine serum albumin with 3-deoxyglucosone was higher than that with an equivalent amount of glucose. Similarly the rate of polymerization of lysozyme in the presence of 3-deoxyglucosone was also greater than with glucose, and collagen incubated with 3-deoxyglucosone was less digestible than collagen incubated with glucose. By contrast, aminoguanidine inhibited an increase in fluorescence of the Maillard compounds and the polymerization of protein, both of which were stimulated by 3-deoxyglucosone. These results suggest that 3-deoxyglucosone accelerates the advanced stage of the Maillard reaction and that aminoguanidine acts on 3-deoxyglucosone to inhibit its action in the advanced stage of the Maillard reaction.
