The Safety Assessment of the Maillard Reaction End Products
Abstract: In this paper, the toxicological research regarding flavors produced by Maillard reaction was conducted. The activity of SOD、the content of MDA、GSH-Px were analyzed in the heart and liver organ. Meanwhile, the activity or content of ALT,AST,TP,ALB ,etc in the blood of mice were determined, and the blood of mice scanned and analyzed by Fluorescence at 260 nm、280 nm、340 nm and 450 nm.
The results show that: In the initial stage, weight gain of BH group (8.29 g) targeted the highest and the rest was lower than the CK group (7.65 g). Later, however, mice weight decline gradually, but weight gain of the Beef group was still higher than the CK group, especially BL group (4.04g) in several groups of top. The CK group (2.292 g) was only higher than the Pork groups.
On the basis of Organ—body ratio of heart , BL group (0.6376 %) which was the highest of all was still lower than the CK group (0.819 %). According to Organ—body ratio of liver, BH group (4.4849 %) was the lowest of all the groups, but higher than the CK group (4.4247 %).
In the SOD activity of liver, compared with the CK group (307.036 U/mgprot), group BL (407.38 U/mgprot) was much higher than that one. About MDA content of liver, BL group (1.3nmol/ml) was lower than CK group (2.17 nmol/ml). In addition, about the organization activity, the Beef groups were both higher than CK group (2909.74 umol/L), while the Pork groups were almost at the low position (nearly 2700 umol/L). What's more, the result of total bilirubin was generally between 6.5umol/L and 9.2umol/L, beyond its normal range (1.48-3.56 umol/L). The result of creatine kinase (900-2500 IU/L) and A/G (0.38-0.42) was abnormal as well. Especially the Pork group (0.42) exceeded bid badly.
Meat flavors varieties with different effects on organ were different. In the liver, if rat was fed on meat flavors, the activity of SOD decreased, the content of MDA rise, GSH - PX of Pork group reduced and GSH - PX of Beef group tended to rise. What's more, a number of data pointed out that the high concentration of meat flavor would aggravated the burden of liver.
