Table IV.

Kinetic parameters calculated for the four Maillard markers which follow a pseudo-zero order reaction during isothermal holding temperature.

Marker ko (U*·min−1) Ea (kJ·mol−1)
FAST index 4.78 E+08 59.4
Furosine 1.80 E+14 88.9
CML 2.19 E+17 115.3
ΔL* 2.35 E+13 102.1
Δa* 1.40 E+26 203.8
Δb* 7.34 E+19 151.1
*

U corresponds to the marker’s units: arbitrary units for FAST index and colour, mg·100 g−1 proteins for furosine and μg·mg−1 proteins for CML.
