This first comprehensive review of the Maillard reaction and its applications shows the present state-of-the-art, including the most recent developments in its use. Describing the relevance of the reaction in areas of chemistry, geochemistry, nutritional and life sciences, leading scientists bring together both theoretical and practical aspects of the Maillard reaction.
