The Maillard reaction kinetics in the confined volume of the thin film produced by ESI microdroplet deposition was studied by mass spectrometry. The almost exclusive formation of the Amadori product from the reaction of D-xylose and D-glucose toward L-glycine and L-lysine was demonstrated. The thin film Maillard reaction occurred at a mild synthetic condition under which the same process in solution was not observed. The comparison of the thin film kinetics with that of the reaction performed in solution showed strong thin film rate acceleration factors.
