Description

Fructosylvaline is a specific fructosyl-amino acid derivative formed by the Maillard reaction between fructose and the amino acid valine. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and food science research for studying advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and flavor development. It serves as a valuable reference standard and intermediate for researchers and manufacturers in the food, nutraceutical, and diagnostic sectors who require high-purity, well-characterized compounds.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and model compound in studies of the Maillard reaction, protein glycation, and the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).
• Food Science & Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a key intermediate or marker in research focused on thermal processing, browning reactions, and the development of specific flavors and aromas in cooked foods.
• Diagnostic Development: Employed in the development and calibration of analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) for detecting and quantifying AGEs in biological and food samples.
• Nutraceutical & Anti-AGE Research: Serves as a critical reagent in screening and evaluating potential inhibitors of glycation for therapeutic or functional food applications.
• Analytical Standard: Provides a high-purity standard for quality control and method validation in laboratories analyzing complex reaction mixtures.
