Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
Maillard reaction product  Any thermal degradation product obtained as a result of a chemical reaction between an amino acid and a reducing sugar (Maillard reaction, a non-enzymatic browning procedure that usually imparts flavour to starch-based food products).
Biological Roles:
carcinogenic agent  A role played by a chemical compound which is known to induce a process of carcinogenesis by corrupting normal cellular pathways, leading to the acquistion of tumoral capabilities.
hepatotoxic agent  A role played by a chemical compound exhibiting itself through the ability to induce damage to the liver in animals.
