Abstract
Schiff's base formation of the Maillard reaction is described from a theoretical viewpoint. The double proton transfer reaction was investigated within the frame of reaction force analysis in which global and local electronic properties were monitored within reaction regions defined along the reaction coordinate. Calculations based on density functional theory show that Schiff's base formation in the Maillard reaction occurs through an asynchronous double proton transfer, the second proton transfer being the determinant step of the reaction.
