  • Title: Measurement of acrylamide and its precursors in potato, wheat, and rye model systems.
    Author: Elmore JS, Koutsidis G, Dodson AT, Mottram DS, Wedzicha BL.
    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2005 Feb 23; 53(4):1286-93. PubMed ID: 15713054.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between acrylamide and its precursors, namely, free asparagine and reducing sugars, was studied in cakes made from potato flake, wholemeal wheat, and wholemeal rye, cooked at 180 degrees C, from 5 to 60 min. Between 5 and 20 min, major losses of asparagine, water, and total reducing sugars were accompanied by large increases in acrylamide, which maximized in all three products between 25 and 30 min, followed by a slow linear reduction. Acrylamide formation did not occur to a large degree until the moisture contents of the cakes fell below 5%. Linear relationships were observed for acrylamide formation with the residual levels of asparagine and reducing sugars for all three food materials.
