Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that certain products of the Maillard browning reaction in food may disturb mineral metabolism in humansl and in laboratory animals2. Stegink and co-workersl reported increases in urinary zinc, copper and iron in human subjects receiving Maillard reaction products intravenously. In this laboratory, dietary Maillard products of glucose/glutamate elevated the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc and sodium in rats2. The present study was conducted to examine the effects of Maillard reaction products of glucose/glutamate on mineral balance in the rat. Glutamic acid was selected as a source of amino groups because of its abundance as a free amino acid in foods
