D-glucose-glycine 계를 사용하여 Maillard 반응에 의하여 생성되는 저분자 휘발성성분을 비롯하여 amide 화합물의 생성 및 그 기구를 검토하였다. 그 결과, 동정된 저분자 휘발성성분 중에서, headspace gas 중의 휘발성성분은 furan, acetone, 2-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran 2-butanone 2,3-pentanedione, diacetyl 등이었다, 이 중에서 diacetyl의 생성량이 가장 많아, 전 peak 면적의 약 $70\%$를 차지하였다. 또한, 에테르 추출물중의 주요반응생성물은 초산, furfuryl alcohol 2,5-dimethylpyrrole 2-acetylpyrrole 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one 등이었고, ethyl acetate 로 추출한 산성획분중에는 N-acetyl-glycine와 N-methylacetamide 등 2종류의 amide 화합물의 생성이 밝혀졌다. 이들 amide 화합물적 생성기구를 밝히기 위하여, Mailiard 반응초기생성물인 diacetyl 및 glyoxal을 각각 butylamine과 반응시킨 결과, Schiff 염기의 산화적 분해로 N-butylacetamide 및 N-butylformamide의 생성이 인정되었다. 따라서 N-acetylglycine 및 N-methylacetamide는 glucosylamine의 2,3-enol 화 및 ${eta}-elimination$에 의한 탈수의 진행으로 생성된 dicarbonyl 화합물이 glycine과 반응하여 Schiff 염기를 형성하고, 이 Schiff 염기가 산화적분해를 받아서 N-acetylglycine이 생성되고, N-methylacetamide는 N-acetylglycine의 탈탄산에 의해서 생성된다고 생각한다.
Equimolar aqueous solutions of D-glucose and glycine were heated at $50^{circ}C;and;95^{circ}C$ at pH 6.7. The headspace volatiles and the ether extracts from the reaction mixture were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using a fused silica capillary column. The major components formed were identified as diacetyl, three furfurals, two pyrroles, one furanone, two pyranones and two amides. In order to elucidate the formation mechanisms of the amides formed front amino-carbonyl reaction, two model systems were adopted. N-butylacetamide were formed as major components from diacetyl-butylamine ana glyoxal-butylamine systems, respectively. The results obtained suggest that such ${alpha}-dicarbonyls$ as 3-deoxy-D-erythro-2,3-hexodiulose and diacetyl generated in the amino-carbonyl reaction react with amino compounds, amides then being formed by cleavage of the C-C bond in the ${alpha}-dicarbonyls$.
