Acrylamide, a known neurotoxin and potential human carcinogen is formed during cooking at temperatures above 100 oC (212 oF). It is a by-product of the Maillard reaction, the non-enzymatic browning reaction which is responsible for carmelization and aromas from food. Acrylamide is found in high levels in carbohydrate-rich foods. When ingested, acrylamide may be converted to glycidamide by enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Glycidamide has been found to be much more reactive than acrylamide and has the potential to mutate DNA. Research is being conducted in Europe, the U.S.A, and the U.K. to quantify...
