Acrylamide formed by the Maillard reaction is reported
to be a toxic compound. Under conditions where heat leads to the formation of
Maillard browning products, it can also lead to the formation of acrylamide in
foods. The introduction of acrylamide into the human body takes place through
digestion or absorption through the skin. Acrylamide formation in foods has
been reported in three ways, a) with a path where acrylic acid or acrolein is formed
as a result of the degradation reactions of lipids, carbohydrates or free amino
acids b) with the loss of carboxyl group or water from organic acids such as
malic, lactic and citric acids and c) with the direct formation from amino
acids. The common opinion is that acrylamide in foods is formed by the reaction
of simple (reducing) sugars with asparagine, an amino acid. The monomeric form
of acrylamide, which is carcinogenic, has been reported to occur in high
temperature treated foods (above 120°C). It is stated by the researchers that
the level of acrylamide in foods varies depending on the type and production of
the food. Foods that contain the most acrylamide include potato chips, french
fries, corn chips, biscuits, crackers and toasted crispy bakery products, bread
and other bakery products, breakfast cereals and coffee. In this study, the
mechanisms of acrylamide formation in foods, acrylamide content of different
foods and the adverse effects of acrylamide on human health were reviewed.
