ABSTRACT
The reactivities of glucose, fructose, and sucrose with glycine (1:l
molar ratio) at 60C and pH 3.5, were compared over 280 hr. While
fructose initially browned at a faster rate, it was overtaken by glucose after 80 hr. Initially more fructose than glucose was consumed, but the reverse was true after 60 hr. Sucrose was readily
hydrolyzed under these reaction conditions and underwent MailIard
browning reactions, its color and appearance being similar to the
glucose solutions at the later stages of the experiment. Glucose and
sucrose solutions developed considerable haze while the fructose
glycine solution remained clear.
