The antioxidant effects of the alcohol extracts obtained from a Maillard-type and a caramelization-type browning reaction mixtures were determined and compared. The Maillard-type reaction mixtrue contained 0. 2 M glucose and 0. 2 M glycine while the caramelization-type reaction mixture contained only 0. 2 M glucose and both were heated at $100^{\circ}C$. The results obtained are as follows. 1. The color intensity of the Maillard-type reaction mixture appeared to increase in proportion to the length of reaction time. However, the antioxidant activity of the extracts did not seem to increase in proportion to the length of reaction time. The antioxidant activity of the extracts from the reaction mixture heated for 16 hours was not much greater than that of the extracts from reaction mixture heated for 2 hours. 2. The color intensity of the caramelization-type browning reaction appeared to increase in proportion to the length of reaction time. The antioxdant activity of the extracts did not seem to increase in proportion to the length of reaction time. 3. It appeared that the antioxdant effects of the alcohol extracts from the Maillard-type browning reaction mixture were far greater than those from the caramelization-type browning reaction mixture, compared on the basis of the same length of reaction time. Substrates, containing the alcohol extracts of the caramelization reaction mixture taken after 4 and 120 hours, developed peroxide values of 88. 9 and 33. 0 after a 20 day storage period (control, 135. 0) whereas substrates, containing the alcohol extracts of the Maillard-type reaction mixture taken after 1 and 16 hours, developed peroxide value of 9. 5 and 7. 5 after the same storage period.

To estimate the effect of preventing the Maillard reaction between casein and glucose coated by freeze drying with corn starch slurry or mixture slurry of corn starch and sucrose, the reactants were treated into five groups of nonbrowning material(control), uncoated browning material, browning material coated casein alone with starch slurry, browning material coated both of reactants with starch slurry and browning material coated both of reactants with mixtrue slurry. All samples had a moisture content of about 15%. Browning reaction was carried out by storage for 30 days at $37^{\circ}C$, 67% RH. In vitro available lysine contents were decreased by the browning regardless of coating the reactants and were higher about 20.5% in the browning materials coated with mixture slurry than in the uncoated browning materials. Fructosyl-lysine contents were increased about tenfold by the browning regardless of coating and were decreased about 15.8% in the browning materials coated with mixture slurry as compare with the uncoated browning materials. The materials showing the greatest resistance to the browning reaction in the coated materials were those in which both of reactants were coated with the mixture slurry of corn starch and sucrose.

The effect of synergists having chelating ability on inhibiting browning were studied with a giucose-glutamic acid model for doenjang containing citric acid as the anti-browning agent and iron ion. The model solutions were prepared by dissolving 0.1 M glucose, 0.1 M glutamic acid, 50 mM citric acid, 0.2 mM $FeCl_2$ and synergist in 1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), heating at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr and storing at $30^{\circ}C\;or\;40^{\circ}C$ for four weeks. Synergists were chitosan, gallic acid, methyl benzoate, pyrophosphate and tannic acid; they were used at the following concentrations: gallic acid, pyrophosphate and tannic acid at 0.015% and 0.15%; chitosan and methyl benzoate at 0.0075% and 0.015%. Anti-browning capacities had a tendency to decrease greatly after three weeks in the case of storage at $30^{\circ}C$, whereas they decreased with storage time during storage at $40^{\circ}C$. However, anti-browning capacities of samples containing 0.015% tannic acid and 0.15% pyrophosphate were higher than that of sample without synergist by 32% after storage at $30^{\circ}C$ for four weeks. Gallic acid, tannic acid and pyrophsphate also inhibited the formation of Maillard reaction intermediates such as fluorescent compound and 3-deoxyglucosone due to the high chelating ability with iron ion after four weeks of storage at $30^{\circ}C$. The effect of these compounds on the inhibition of formation of Maillard reaction intermediates was higher at 0.15% than at 0.015%. Moreover, gallic acid increased the browning by forming colored complexes, and tannic acid generated black precipitates. Therefore, pyrophosphate of food additives was found to be the most useful synergist of citric acid, the anti-browning agent for doenjang.

The chemistry background of the Maillard reaction focused on pyrazines and factors affecting the reaction products were reviewed. The Maillard reaction, also called a non-enzymatic browning reaction, is quite complex and generates numerous reaction products. In processed foods, it is generally accepted as a key reaction to produce flavor components. Specially, pyrazines possess an important impact character on the roasted foods with other heterocyclic compounds. The Maillard reaction is initiated by condensation between reducing sugar and amino group, and N-glycosylamines are produced via Schiff base with dehydration of water. After the rearrangement of the N-glycosylamines, they follow transformation into deoxyhexosones which are reactive intermediates. Degradation and fragmentation are facilitated by rearranged compounds. By condensation, pyrazine, one of the final Maillard products, is generated as a relatively stable form to provide specific aromas. During the processes of the reaction, chemical or physical environmental parameters affect the formation of the products.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the browning reaction of fish oil-amino acid model system at different temperatures and watger activities. The 23 amino acids, induced during dehydration in the presence of oil and avicel(5 to $45^{\circ}C$), Aw 0.33 to 0.95, were resulted in three types of browning patterns : Type I showed high browning rates at Aw 0.33, 0.95 than at Aw 0.52, 0.75(phenylalanine, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, methionine, valine). Type II showed high browning rates decreased with increasing water activity(poline, leucine, isoleucine, arginine). Type III showed high browning rates at Aw 0.52, 0.75 than at Aw 0.33, 0.95(tryptophan, cystein, threonine, lysine). The temperature effect on the browning development of the four most active amino acids : phenylalanine, valine, trnas-4-hydroxy-proline and methionine are shown to represent the 23 amino acids. Above $25^{\circ}C$ the browning rate began to increase. Activation energy of the amino acids-fish oil was 8 to 40kcal/mole, and $Q_{10}$ were 2 to 10.

The oyster is called "milk of sea" which is abundant in taurine, glycogen, cellenium. It could be used in making natural source. Recently, consumers have more interest in natural source because of their diverse preference and its special taste. The goal of this study is to optimize maillard reaction condition for manufacturing natural seasoning using oyster and oyster cooking drip hydrolysate. The result was judged by browning degree and pyrazine, which is flavor components when food heating. Hydrolysate and sugar react according primarily to type of sugar - glucose, xylose and fructose. Xylose was selected as best sugar of browning degree. In the case of sugar contents, all conditions over 1% of sugar contents are almost same. Therefore, the lowest 1% of sugar was selected as appropriate condition. According to the reaction with different temperature, browning degree and pyrazine contents had been increased over $60^{\circ}C$, but the product at $120^{\circ}C$had off-flavored. So, $100^{\circ}C$ is the best condition for the browning reaction. And in accordance with different reaction time, after 6 hours, there was no change in pyrazine and browning reaction. Therefore, to manufacture natural seasoning source, it is optimal to react xylose for maillard reaction at $100^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr with hydrolysate of oyster and oyster cooking drip.

It was aimed to investigate the effects of caffeic acid on the rates of Maillard reaction. The rates of browning reaction increased as the browning temperature increased. The color intensity of the browning mixtures indicated to depend on the amino acid rather than reducing sugar. Also, the color intensity of the browning mixtures increased more rapidly in the presence of caffeic acid. The increase in color intensity seemed to depend mainly to the polymerization of o-quinones formed from caffeic acid. The caffeic acid, furthermore, appeared to enhance the color intensity of the browning mixtures through the interaction with amino acid, especially methionine and phenylalanine. The activation ener-gies of the browning reaction without caffeic acid were 108∼130 J/mol, and Q10 values were 2.6∼3.2. The activation energies and Q10 values of browning mixtures decreased in the presence of CA. The activation energies of the browning mixtures with caffeic acid were 90∼101J/mol, and Q$\_$10/ values were 2.0∼2.6.

During our investigations on the relationship between the browning reaction of ginseng root and two compounds (arginyl-fructosyl-glucose and arginyl-fructose) in the model system of steaming and heat-drying processes for the preparation of red ginseng, the preheating treatment of main roots of raw ginseng at 60∼70$^{\circ}C$ prior to the steaming and heat-drying processes was found to bring about the gelatinization of starch granules. The enzymatic hydrolysis of gelatinized starch to maltose, a marked formation of maltose, and the increase of both free arginine and total amino acids, resulting the acceleration of the Maillard type-browning reaction of ginseng root during the steaming and heat-drying processes, and the rise of brown color intensity of red ginseng. These results show that the preheating treatment may be effective for the decrease of inside white of red ginseng.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) on enzymatic browning of crown daisy (Chrysanthmum coronarium var. spatiosum). The MRPs prepared by heating various amino acid and sugar at $90^{\circ}C$ caused a strong inhibitory effect on crown daisy polyphenol oxidase (PPO, ${\sigma}$-diphenol oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.1). As the reaction time of the solution containing glycine and glucose increased at $90^{\circ}C$, the production of MRPs was increased, whereas the amounts of glycine and glucose were decreased. Accordingly, the inhibitory effect of crown daisy PPO activity by MRPs was increased as the amounts of synthesized MRPs were increased. The MRPs synthesized from the various amino acids and sugars significantly reduced the PPO activity, particularly MRPs prepared by glutamine and xylose. The Michealis-Menten constant value ($K_m$) of crown daisy PPO with catechol as a substrate was 22.0 mM, and MRPs were a noncompetitive inhibitor against crown daisy PPO.

The mutagenicity after heating of different sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose, and tagatose) on the non-enzymatic browning reaction in different sugars and glycine model system was investigated. The model system containing 0.2 M glycine and 0.2 M of different sugars in 10 mL water was heated at $150{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. After heating, degree of non-browning reaction intensity and mutagenicity using Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 were examined. Heated glycine model systems containing different sugars increased their mutgenicity ranged from 30 to 372 revertant colonies. After heating for 40 min, mutagenicity was achieved with glycine model systems containing 4 different sugars with by 145, 356, 206, and 369 revertants per plate, respectively. The glycine model systems containing fructose or tagatose were significantly (p<0.05) higher mutagenic activity than glycine model systems containing glucose or galactose after 40 min of heating. The linear regression between Maillard reaction intensity and mutagenic activities (slope=32.38, $R^2=0.93$) indicates that mutagenicity could be fully ascribed to Maillard reaction products.
