Acrylamide and 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Synthetic Sugar Cane Syrup: Mitigation by Additives
The ability of additives to reduce the formation of acrylamide in simulated sugar cane syrups was investigated. Organic acids, B vitamins, and inorganic salts were added individually and in combination to simulated thickened cane juice, and the mixtures were heated at 120 ◦C for 30 min. Calcium chlo...

| Sumario: | The ability of additives to reduce the formation of acrylamide in simulated sugar cane syrups was investigated. Organic acids, B vitamins, and inorganic salts were added individually and in combination to simulated thickened cane juice, and the mixtures were heated at 120 ◦C for 30 min. Calcium chloride (1%), citric acid (0.1%), and vitamin B3 (0.1%) were the most effective individual additives from each chemical family. The effects of CaCl2 (0–1%), citric acid (0–0.125%), and vitamin B3 (0–0.1125%), when added in combination, on the concentrations of acrylamide and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) were studied using a Box–Behnken design. Combinations of all three additives lowered the acrylamide production, but only the combination of citric acid and vitamin B3 had a significant synergistic effect. However, all these additives stimulated the production of HMF, and no significant interactive effect between pairs of additives on HMF production was observed. Calcium chloride stimulated the formation of HMF most strongly. These results indicate that certain combinations of these additives effectively reduce acrylamide formation, but they also lead to an increase in the formation of HMF in sugar syrup. |
