Talk:Dehydroalanine

Derived from serine with base...
The following disputed statement was removed by me today: "Dehydroalanine (DHA) residues are also found in food proteins, including casein, which have been heated in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide. Bases can dehydrate serine to form DHA." --Smokefoot (talk) 02:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I overhauled the section and re-added with ref (Friedman) the general idea of non-enzymatic formation during food preparation. The ref as I added it is for a whole paragraph, supporting all ideas in it. Feel free to add ref tags to separate statements in it if you think it would be clearer.
