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.

Changes of color intensity and components during browning reaction of water extracts from white tail ginseng were investigated. Temperature dependence was described by the Arrhenius relationship with an activation energy of 16kcal/mole. Temperature sensitivities$(Q_{10}\;value)$ for water extracts of ginseng was 1.90 between $70^{\circ}C\;and\;80^{\circ}C$, 1.57 between $80^{\circ}C\;and\;90^{\circ}C$ and 1.46 between $90^{\circ}C\;and\;100^{\circ}C$. pH value of the solution treated at $90^{\circ}C\;and\;100^{\circ}C$ slightly increased with an increase in reaction time. Among ginseng saponins ginsenoside-Re was most unstable against heat-treatment, white diol group saponins were more stable against heat-treatment. Hydrogen donating activity (reducing activity for ${\alpha},\;{\alpha}'-diphenyl-{\beta}-picrylhydrazyl$) and 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid(DNS) positive substances of browning reaction products increased in proportion to the length of browning reaction time and temperature, whereas folin positive substances decreased by heat-denaturation of ginseng protein at initial reaction time and then increased thereafter.

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the effects of steeping treatment on browning of onion hydrolysate. After steeping treatment with solvents, phenols content of methanol and ethanol were showed 25.1mg/ml and 24.9mg/ml. And absorbance of methanol and ethanol was showed 0.26 and 0.22. L and b value of treatment with methanol and ethanol were lower than other solvents. Browning reaction of onion hydrolysate was decreased with increasing concentration of ethanol. Treatment of above 80% ethanol was effective to remove phenols and was showed a low color intensity. Treatment with 80% ethanol was more effective than addition of cystein to remove phenols and to decrease browing degree.

Browning chracteristics were investigated for Chicory roots(Cichorium intybus L.) when roasted at different conditions of 120 to $180^{\circ}C$ in temperature and 10 to 40min in time. The soluble solid of water extracts obtained from roasted Chicory roots increased slowly with increasing roasting temperature and time, but it decreased above $160^{\circ}C$. The contents of reducing sugar and amino-type nitrogen in aqueous extracts obtained from roasted Chicory roots decreased rapidly with increasing the roasting time and temperature. Browning color intensity in aqueous extracts of roasted Chicory roots increased with increasing the roasting temperature and time, Hunter's color L and b values of Chicory powder decreased with increasing the roasting temperature and time, while Hunter's color a and ${\Delta}E$ values continuously increased with increasing the roasting temperature and time.

Response surface methodology was applied to monitor dynamic changes in free sugars and free amino acids associated with browning reaction during roasting of Polygonatum odoratum roots. Second-order model for qualities of water- soluble extracts was employed to generate contour maps and response surfaces. Browning color intensity of water-soluble extracts was increased with the roasting time up to around 14$0^{\circ}C$, but decreased in increasing temperature above L6O"C. Free sugars, mainly composed of sucrose and fructose, were remarkably decreased at roasting under the higher temperature and longer time, while glucose linearly increased with the increase of roasting temperature up to 15$0^{\circ}C$. Most of free amino acids was decreased in their amounts in Proportion to the roasting temperature and time, while threonine and lysine were insignificantly increased under the roasting conditions at above 17$0^{\circ}C$ and 60min.0min.

The color intensity (Absorbance at 490nm) and the antioxidant effects of absolute and 90% ethanol extracts obtained from a Maillard-type browning reaction mixture (0. 5M glucose and 0. 5M glycine mixture, heated at $100^{\circ}C$) were determined. The color intensity of the absolute and 90% ethanol extracts were compared with the length of reaction time and the antioxidant effects of the extracts of both types were compared one another. The results obtained are as follows. 1. The color intensity of the absolute ethanol extracts remained almost unchanged as the browning reaction proceeded. The color intensity of the 90% ethanol extracts appeared to increase nearly in proportion to the length of reaction time. 2. The absolute and the 90% ethanol extracts seemed to possess significant antioxidant activity on the autoxidation of an edible soybean oil. which was kept at $45{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ for 21 days. It was noteworthy that the absolute ethanol extracts showed stronger antioxidant effects than those of the 90% ethanol extracts, which contained a far greater amount of brown-colored pigments. Since the PVs of the controls in both groups, after the end of the storage period, did not differ much from one another, the possibility of residual water playing some prooxidant role in the substrates containing the 90% ethanol extracts should be ruled out. Extracts of both types obtained at earlier stages of the brownig reaction demonstrated less but comparable antioxidant activity to that of extracts taken at later stages of the reaction. 3. The results of the present study appeared to suggest that the effective antioxidant compounds, produced in the Maillard-type browning reaction, were probably intermediate products such as reductones formed at fairly earlier stages of the browning reaction.

We determined the chemical changes occurring in oil after exposure to high temperatures for various periods of time. Alterations in the chemical parameters of oil after heating for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min at 120C were investigated. The study involved cold-pressed perilla oil (CPPO), virgin perilla oil (VPO), and commercial heat press-extracted perilla oil (CHPEPO), and we assessed quality properties such as Hunter's color values, browning color intensity, acid value, conjugated dienoic acid level, peroxide value, total phenolic content, electron-donating ability, and fatty acid concentration. Hunter L values were higher for CPPO than for VPO or CHPEPO, whereas browning color intensity was greatest for CHPEPO. Peroxide value data showed higher levels of oxidation products in CPPO than in VPO or CHPEPO, whereas conjugated dienoic acid level was most increased in CHPEPO. The content of total phenolics and electron-donating ability were higher in CHPEPO than in CPPO or VPO. After thermal treatment, fatty acid content was most altered in CPPO; in particular, the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids dropped significantly. Hunter L value, acid value, conjugated dienoic acid level, and peroxide concentration also increased whereas Hunter a and b values, browning color intensity, and total phenolic content were decreased in perilla seed oils after thermal oxidation treatment.

To renew interest in Chicory roots (Cichorium intybus L.) as a food material, some functional and sensory properties were investigated under various roasting conditions. Browning color intensity of extracts increased with roasting processes. Electron-donating and nitrite-scavenging abilities of extracts increased with roasting processes, showing more than 2 and 3,6 times higher than those of the unroasted control in their activities, respectively. The amounts of total phenolic compounds and antioxidative activity of Chicory extracts showed the highest values at the roasting condition of $160^{\circ}C$ and 30 min. Sensory scores of Chicory tea generally increased with roasting processes, which showed a decreasing tendency at roasting conditions more than $170^{\circ}C$ and 30 min. Electron-donating ability showed a positive correlation with both browning color intensity and the amount of total phenolic compounds. Induction period by peroxide value showed a highly positive correlation with the amount of total phenolic compounds. Similarly, nitrite-scavenging ability of Chicory extracts showed a highly positive correlation with both browning color intensity and electron-donating ability.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of steam-drying method on physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of Alliun hookeri root (AHR). Moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash contents of raw and steam-dried AHRs were 10.91~14.15%, 11.14~13.49%, 0.83~3.02%, and 7.55~8.98%, respectively. Sulfur contents of steam-dried AHRs were 2.0 and 2.2 times lower than that of raw AHR (0.51%), respectively. pH and total sugar contents of AHRs were reduced by steam-drying, whereas titrate acidity and browning intensity were increased. The L and b values of AHRs in Hunter's value were also reduced, but a value was increased by steam-drying. Among hot water extracts from raw and steam-dried AHRs, four times steam-drying showed the lowest $EC_{50}$ values (0.44, 9.01, and 0.48 mg/mL, respectively) in DPPH radical assay, ABTS radical assay, and reducing power, whereas four times steam-drying had the highest total phenolic content ($34.47{\mu}g/mg$) and browning intensity (2.05 and 0.20 at 280 and 420 nm, respectively). The antioxidant activities of hot water extracts from raw and steam-dried AHRs were closely correlated with their total phenolic contents and browning intensity, showing coefficient of determination ($R^2$) values higher than 0.87. From the results, we suggest that steam-drying method could be used as an effective process for increasing the antioxidant activity of AHR.

2M D-glucose and 2M D-glucose with 0.4M citric acid were heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 12, 24, 48hours. The color intensity of these browning reaction products and the fractionated materials by Sephadex G-15 were measured as absorbance at 490nm with a spectrophotometer. The control (soybean oil) and the soybean oil substrates containing equal amounts of ethanol extracts taken from each fraction group were stored at $40.0\pm$1.0^{\circ}C$$ in an incubator for 30 days Antioxidant activities of browning reaction products determined by peroxide value and TBA value the soybean oil. The results were as follows. 1. According to increase heating time and to add citric acid, color intensity was increased. Color intensity of Fraction II(fraction 10~18 high molecular weight) was higher than other fraction group, especially Fraction II of sample F (glucose with citric acid, heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 48hours) was the highest. 2. All of the fractionated material was showed antioxidant effect but Fraction I (high molecular weight) was more oxidized than the control Fraction IV, V (fraction 28~45; low molecular weight) was showed the highest antioxidant effect.
