Aroma compounds in French fries from three potato varieties

Sugars and free amino acids were measured in three potato varieties widely available in the United Kingdom. French fries were cooked for 6, 9 and 12 min at 180°C, and the effects of cooking time and variety on volatile composition were examined. Maillard reaction-derived aroma compounds increased as cooking time increased. Varieties Desiree and Maris Piper were relatively high in sugars and aroma compounds derived from sugars, e.g. 5-methylfurfural and dihydro-2-methyl- 3[2H]-furanone, whereas variety King Edward was relatively high in free amino acids and their associated aroma compounds, such as pyrazines and Strecker aldehydes.

The Patriarchal Palace at Constantinople in the seventh century: locating the Thomaites and the Makron

New archaeological evidence suggests that the important patriarchal buildings called the Thomaites and Makron were immediately south-west of the sixth-century church of Hagia Sophia, rather than to its north-east as usually supposed. These structures were built in the sixth-century, suggesting only limited rebuilding of the Patriarchate by patriarch Thomas in the early seventh century.
