Chlorogenic acid increased acrylamide formation through promotion of HMF formation and 3-aminopropionamide deamination

- Chlorogenic acid increased the formation of acrylamide while its quinone one inhibited.
- Chlorogenic acid increased acrylamide formation by enhancing HMF production.
- It decreased the activation energy for conversion of 3-APA to acrylamide.
- It kept high redox potential that may inhibited acrylamide elimination.
