In which food component have oxidation and condensation reactions, similar to non-enzymatic browning, been observed after irradiation?
Correct answer B. Carbohydrates
Explanation
Irradiating carbohydrates breaks glycosidic bonds and forms carbonyl compounds that oxidise and condense, giving colour and flavour changes much like Maillard-type non-enzymatic browning.
