Overview of Kokumi Compounds from the Maillard Reaction

Overview of Kokumi Compounds from the Maillard Reaction 1. What Is “Kokumi”? “Kokumi” is a Japanese sensory term meaning richness, mouthfulness, continuity, and thickness—without adding a distinct basic taste (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami). The concept was scientifically advanced by researchers at Ajinomoto Co., Inc., who demonstrated that certain

A Comprehensive Overview of Toxic Maillard Reaction Products

The formation of toxic compounds through the Maillard reaction is a far broader and more complex field than just the well-known examples. While previous discussions often focus on acrylamide or furans, ongoing research continues to identify a wider array of potentially hazardous substances generated during this ubiquitous browning process.
