The Maillard reaction is a non-enzymatic browning reaction between reducing sugars (like glucose and fructose) and amino acids, typically occurring at higher temperatures. It's responsible for developing desirable flavors and colors in many food and beverage processes. In mashing, however, we don't want uncontrolled Maillard r....
