    A Reaction between Amino group & Hydroxyl group Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Reaction between Amino group & Keto group Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Reaction between Amino group & Aldehyde Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Reaction between Amino group & carbonyl group Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In Maillard reactions, the relatively reactive carbonyl group belonging to the reducing sugar undergoes a chemical reaction with the nucleophilic groups of the amino acid. This reaction triggers the change in colour and also facilitates the formation of many flavour compounds. However, it is important to note that energy must be supplied in the form of heat for this reaction to occur
