“…Melanoidins in biscuits showed potential antioxidant activity in the protection of human HepG2 cells against oxidation as well as strong metal chelating activity and anti‐inflammatory activity as determined in in vitro studies (Bekedam, Roos, Schols, Boekel, & Smit, ; Helou et al, ; Martín et al, ). In our previous study, we reported that the increased amount of sugars and amino acids all favored the Maillard reaction and improved the antioxidant capacity of bread (Shen, Chen, & Li, ; Shen, Tebben, Chen, & Li, ). However, the Maillard reaction also generates many toxic compounds, such as acrylamide, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, and other advanced glycation end‐products, also known as glycotoxins, associated with reduced availability of essential amino acids, tissue damage, and degenerative disorders (Bastos, Monaro, Siguemoto, & Séfora, ; Delgado‐Andrade, ).…”
