The Strecker degradation is a chemical reaction which converts an α-amino acid into an aldehyde containing the side chain, by way of an imine intermediate. It is named after Adolph Strecker, a German chemist. The original observation by Strecker involved the use of alloxan as the oxidant in the first step, [1] followed by hydrolysis:
The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. G. Wallerius, Humphry Davy, and others.For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture (1813) in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition.
This reaction is responsible for why meat, and many other food products, turn brown when cooked. This reaction only occurs at high temperatures. Water vapor is a byproduct of the Maillard reaction. The water molecules create a physical barrier between the proteins on the surface of the meat and the triglyceride molecules in the oil.

It is advised to check the references for photos of reaction results. [1] Reagent testers might show the colour of the desired substance while not showing a different colour for a more dangerous additive. [ 2 ]
The reaction usually requires a catalyst, such as concentrated sulfuric acid: R−OH + R'−CO 2 H → R'−CO 2 R + H 2 O. Other types of ester are prepared in a similar manner−for example, tosyl (tosylate) esters are made by reaction of the alcohol with 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine.
Methional is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 SCH 2 CH 2 CHO. It is a colorless liquid that is a degradation product of methionine.It is a notable flavor in potato-based snacks, namely potato chips, one of the most popular foods containing methional. [1]
Formaldehyde (/ f ɔːr ˈ m æ l d ɪ h aɪ d / ⓘ for-MAL-di-hide, US also / f ə r-/ ⓘ fər-) (systematic name methanal) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 2 O and structure H−CHO, more precisely H 2 C=O.
