Formation and reduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural during deep-fat frying of bananas

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a heat-induced furanic compound that is formed through Maillard reaction or direct dehydration of hexoses under acidic conditions in carbohydrate-containing food products. Human exposure to HMF mainly takes place through diet. 5-sulfoxymethylfurfural (SMF), as a m...
