Different malonaldehyde-amine condensation products were tested for their relative color contribution to the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test, an indicator for oxidative rancidity of polyunsaturated lipids. The open chain mono-and disubstituted malonatdehyde (M) addition products (R-N=CH-CH=CHOH and R-N=CH-CH=CH-NH-R) gave complete (100%) recovery of M on a mole basis. When the __M residue was incorporated into cyclic products which formed between the ureido-or guanidino-substituents of a-amino acids such as citrulline or arginine and M, recovery of ~ by the TBA color test was 30% and 6%, respectively. Products, from imine-amine type interactions, containing the __M residue as in pyrazoline or pyrazole ring systems, released from 4% to no __M.
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.
