Role of the Sugars in the Browning Reaction in Potato ChipsThis study was undertaken to elucidate the role of the sugars in potato chip color development, as a result of nonenzymatic browning. Both reducing sugars and sucrose react with amino acids to produce brown colors, at temperatures used to fry potato chips.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
