Abstract

3-Aminopropionamide (3-APA) has recently been suggested as a transient intermediate in acrylamide (AA) formation during thermal degradation of asparagine initiated by reducing carbohydrates or aldehydes, respectively. 3-APA may also be formed in foods by an enzymatic decarboxylation of asparagine. Using a newly developed method to quantify 3- APA based on liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, it could be shown that ...
