“…Specifically at pH 5.5, 36.8%, 79.2% and 101.3% more 3-DG were produced after adding 0.5, 5.0 and 50 lmol/ml CGA, respectively (Table 1). CGA did not increase the formation of furfural, a product produced from the dehydration of 3-deoxyosulose (Tressl, Helak, Kersten, & Rewicki, 1993) at pH 5.5 significantly, but slightly increased 3-DG formation at pH 7.0 after the addition of 50.0 lmol/ml CGA. At pH 5.5, CGA did not influence the formation of MGO, a cleavage product of 3-DG (Nuesten, 2005); however, CGA reduced its formation at pH 7.0 (Table 1).…”
