Scientific paper

Melanoidins, acidic polymeric products of amino acid/sugar condensation reactions, are shown to be capable of reacting with and binding functionalized lipid molecules. Pyrolysis gas chromatography is used to monitor the inclusion of lipids (alcohols and acids) into, and to monitor the changes in composition caused by artificial diagenesis of, the melanoidins. Artificial diagenesis of the lipidcontaining melanoidins produces a material resembling kerogen. The possible role of melanoidins in the formation of kerogens is discussed as are internal transformations within kerogens during diagenesis.
