About this collection
This themed collection features manuscripts on the Maillard reaction in food and nutrition from the 12th International Symposium on the Maillard Reaction, which took place in Tokyo, Japan in September 2015. Guest edited by Professor Vincenzo Fogliano, this collection focusses on the Maillard reaction in foods and their implications for body functionality.
