Talk:Maillard reaction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

there is an article called mallard reaction and this one called maillard reactions. Are these possibly the same thing?

Yes. Now fixed. --Heron 11:51, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, my fault. I am a pastry chef not a champion speller. --Rakista 17:26, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

I thought that your spelling was just ducky. —70.166.5.157 16:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry that I'm just a nerd, but I would really like someone to make a diagram of the reaction. I guess I just fondly remember my old O-Chem days. Unfortunately, as those days were over 20 years ago, I've lost it. Still, it seems to me that a beautiful and rather simple organic reacton like this should be mapped out. Could someone take the time to do it? Who knows, it may inspire a Jr. High or Highschooler to take an interest in chemistry. thanks so much,

[edit] Role of humidity?

This source contradicts a claim in the article, and says that humid environment promotes the reaction. [1] High temperature, high relative humidity, and alkaline conditions all promote the Maillard reaction. Can anyone explain? — Michael Fourman 11:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Found a reference resolving contradiction - see article. — Michael Fourman 12:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
