Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in food products may pose health risks, and thermal processing of foods accelerates the formation of AGEs. The effects of heat treatments (65-100 °C, 0-60 min) on the formation of AGEs including N(ε)-carboxymethyllysine (CML) and N(ε)-carboxyethyllysine (CEL) in ground beef were investigated. The levels of CML and CEL in ground beef steadily increased with heating time and heating temperature. A strong linear relationship (r(2) = 0.920) between the amounts of CML (2.76-19.96 mg/kg) and CEL (2.32-11.89 mg/kg) in raw and thermally treated beef was found. The formations of both CML and CEL in ground beef during heat treatments basically fitted zero-order reactions (CML: r(2) = 0.851-0.995, rate constant = 0.031-0.224 mg kg(-1) min(-1); CEL: r(2) = 0.907-0.971, rate constant = 0.044-0.118 mg kg(-1) min(-1)) with an activation energy of 61.01 kJ/mol for CML and 29.21 kJ/mol for CEL.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 December 2014.
All research outputs
#16,008,400
of 27,263,163 outputs
Outputs from Food Chemistry
#1,555
of 2,223 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#132,877
of 265,689 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Food Chemistry
#40
of 67 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,263,163 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,223 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 265,689 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 67 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
