RT Journal Article T1 Relationship of Thermal Treatment and Antioxidant Capacity in Cooked Foods A1 Navajas Porras, Beatriz A1 Pérez-Burillo, Sergio A1 Hinojosa-Nogueira, Daniel A1 Pastoriza, Silvia A1 Rufián-Henares, José Ángel K1 Maillard, Reacción de K1 Alimentos - Manipulación AB Most of the foods we eat undergo a cooking process before they are eaten. Duringsuch a process, the non-enzymatic browning occurs, which generates compounds such as furosine, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural. These are considered markers of cookedness andcan therefore be used as quality indicators. In this work, we study the production of these compounds in different foods (both of plant and animal origin) that are cooked with different techniques.Additionally, we investigate correlations between the production of these markers of cookednessand the antioxidant capacity produced after in vitro digestion and fermentation. We observe that,in general, cereals and vegetables are more thermally damaged. Toasting and frying produce thehighest concentrations of Maillard compounds whereas boiling the lowest. Furosine content shows asignificant positive correlation with in vitro digestion data in fried foods, and with fermentation inroasted foods. Furfural content shows a significant positive correlation with in vitro digestion resultsin roasted foods, specifically in the Folin–Ciocalteu method.
