The study was carried out to compare the reaction rate of caramel type browning reaction of xylose(XY), glocose(GL), sucrose(SU), glucose+citric acid(GLCA), glucose+sodiumcitrats(GLSC), glucose+glycine(GLGC) heated at 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, respectively. 1. The color intensity (absorbance at 490 nm) of the browning reaction mixtures tends to increase as the browning reaction time gets longer and the browning of reaction temperature gets higher. But the degree of the intensity of SU and GLCA changes very little. 2. The reaction rate constant (K) was increased rapidly above 120$^{\circ}C$ and appeared maximum at 140$^{\circ}C$, especially GLGC (140.25) was the highest. The activation energy (Ea) of sugars. XY had the highest value (124.36 J/mol), while SU the lowest(104.68 J/mol). Mixtures of GLGC was shown to have higher activation energy (144.94 J/mol) than the sugar alone and Q$\_$10/ values of GLGC were 1.68-2.85. 3. The residual amount of reactants such as xylose, glucose, sucrose, citric acid, sodium citrate and glycine in each browning mixture were decreased upon the browning reaction temperature increasing. In the GLCA, GLSC and GLGC browning mixtures, respectively, the residual amounts of glucose were less than those with amino acid, organic acid and their salt.

The study was carried out to compare the reaction rate of Maillard browning reaction of 2 dipeptides (Leucylglycine, Tryptophylglycine) and 4 amino acids (Lysine, Glycine, Leucine, Tryptophan) with xylose heated for 0∼24 hours at 60∼100$^{\circ}C$. 1. The color intensity of the browning mixture heated at 100$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours was the highest in tryptophanxylose, and in order to tryptophylglycine-xylose > lysine-xylose > leucylglycine-ylose > leucine-xylose > glycine-xylose. 2. The reaction rate constants (k) determined from the browning pigment concentrate with time were similar to the result of the color intensity, that is, the k were the highest in the tryptophan-xylose. 3. The residual amounts of dipeptides, amino acids and xylose in the browning mixture diminished as the browning temperature increase. 4. The activation energies (Ea) calculated from k were the highest in leucine-xylose (143.72 J/mol) and the lowest in tryptophan-xylose (117.45 J/mol). The range of Q$\sub$10/ values were 2.84∼3.58.

The browning rate of potato juice alone and potato juice with added carrot juice or water(1:1 by volume) were studied. As the amount of carrot juice added was increased, the browning rate proportionally decreased: from 1.86 of potato juice alone to 0.36 for the potato juice and carrot juice mixture(l:1). This inhibitory effect of carrot juice on browning led us to assume that $\beta$-carotene, the major constituent of carrot carotenoids, may be involved in impeding the browning reaction of potato juice. Therefore, model system of enzymatic browning, consisting of chi orogenic acid/tyrosine and $\beta$-carotene/carrot carotenoids, were studied. The results shows the browning rates of chlorogenic acid alone and chlorogenic acid with added $\beta$-carotene. The initial browning rate of chlorogenic acid was faster($\delta$L= 1.1/min.)than that of chlorogenic acid with added $\beta$-carotene($\delta$L=0.6/min.).

To re-evaluate the browning reactions of fermented soybean products, soy sauce mash with added glucose and/or tyrosine was fermented for 152 days in the presence or absence of oxygen. Glucose negatively affected brown pigmentation either singly or with tyrosine. Tyrosine-added soy sauce mash initially browned at the same rate as the control mash until 127th day and then the former continued to brown at the same steady rate while the control mash stopped further browning. Aerobically incubated mash browned much more than anaerobically incubated one when the browning was compared on the 152nd day of fermentation. More than half of the mash browning was found to be due to the oxygen-related browning during the limited 152 days of fermentation time. Both oxygen-related and oxygen-unrelated browning reactions were found to contribute to the browning of soy sauce mash. Oxygen-related browning, however, was found to be more important than the Maillard browning reaction.

The antioxidant effects in soybean oil was investigated by browning reaction mixtures formed by sugar and reaction temperatures above 110$^{\circ}C$. 0.1 M solution of xylose, glucose and sucrose were heated at 110, 120, 130, 140 and 150$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs respectively. A reaction rate constant(k), activation energy (Ea) and Q$\sub$10/ value were determined by color intensity that was measured absorbance at 490 nm in each temperature. Soybean oil containing the ethanol extracts taken from the browning reaction mixtures that were heated at 110, 130 and 150$^{\circ}C$ was stored in an incubator kept at 45.0${\pm}$1.0$^{\circ}C$ for 24 days. The results are as follows: 1. When 0.1 M solution of xylose, glucose and sucrose were heated at 110$^{\circ}C$ and 120$^{\circ}C$, the intensity of glucose browning mixtures was the highest, but heated at 150$^{\circ}C$, the color intensity increased in order of xylose > glucose > sucrose after 24 hrs. 2. The reaction rate constant (k) was increased rapidly above 140$^{\circ}C$ and appeared maximum at 150$^{\circ}C$, esp. xylose was the highest. The activation onergy (Ea) of xylose was the highest as 93.28 Joule/mole and the Q$\sub$10/ value of xylose was appeared 1.28. Q$\sub$10/ value was also the highest in xylose. 3. The browning reaction mixtures that were heated at 110$^{\circ}C$ appeared little antioxidant effects. But, in heated at 130$^{\circ}C$ and 150$^{\circ}C$, the antioxidant effects appeared in sucrose browning reaction mixtures. Therefore, in browning reaction mixtures that heated above 110$^{\circ}C$, only sucrose browning reaction mixtures appeared antioxidant effects and xylose, glucose appeared little antioxidant effects. On the contrary xylose and glucose increased peroxide values of soybean oil.

Functional relationships of carotenoid destruction and nonenzymatic browning during red pepper drying were established by the dynamic test using the moisture-temperature-quality history curve in actual drying experiments. The dependence of the rate constants on temperature and moisture content was established and analysed assuming that carotenoid destruction and nonenzymatic browning are the first order and the zero order reaction, respectively. Carotenoid destruction rate constant was high at high moisture and high temperature, and had a minimum value at some intermediate moisture content. As dependence of rate constant on temperature, activation energy of carotenoid decolorization ranged from 7.7 to 27.4 kcal/mol, showing higher value at higher moisture content. Nonenzymatic browning showed higher rate at higher temperature and higher moisture content. Activation energy of browning was in the range of 7.5-20.2 kcal/mol with higher value at higher moisture level.

This study investigated quality changes in fresh-cut burdocks treated with hot water and anti-browning agents. The combined treatment using both heat treatment and anti-browning agents delayed the browning of burdocks, especially for those dipped in hot water and a solution of green tea extract plus NaCl. This treatment reduced the respiration rate and inhibited the growth of microorganisms more than heat treatment alone. The organoleptic quality of burdocks treated with the combined method proved to be the best according to sensory evaluation. Hence, this combined treatment using heat and anti-browning agents can enhance overall quality of processed fresh-cut root vegetables by browning inhibition and shelf-life extension.

To study the effect of preventing the browning reaction between casein and glucose by protecting the reactants using corn starch with coating material, rats were fed for 30 days nonbrowning diet, nonprotected browning diet, browning diet protected only casein, browning diet protected both casein and glucose and browning diet supplement sucrose simultaneously with protecting both casein and glucose. The amounts of fructosyl-lysine excreted through urine were greater than those through feces regardless of diets and the both side of the excreted amounts of fructosly-lysine through urine or feces were greater for rats fed browning diets regardless protecting compared to rats fed the nonbrowning diet. Through urine, the excreted amounts of fructosyl-lysine were decreased for rats fed the browning diet supplemented sucrose simultaneously with protecting both casein and glucose than those for rats fed the nonprotected browning diet and through feces, were decreased for rats fed protected browning diets regardless of protecting method than the nonprotected browning diet. The excreted amounts of all individual essential free amino acids through feces were increased for rats fed browning diets irrespective of protecting compared to the nonbrowning diet, but through urine, were increased or similar level for rate fed the nonbrowning diet compared to browning diets except histidine. The excreted amount of free lysine through feces were decreased for rats fed protected browning diets than nonprotected browning diet. Fructosyl-lysine contents of serum, liver and small intestinal digesta were increased for rats fed browning diets regardless of protecting by starch compared to nonbrowning diet but, of serum and small intestinal digesta were decreased for rats fed protected browning diets than the nonprotected browning diet.

In this paper, non-enzymatic browning reactions as a factor of self stability of boiled and dried anchovy were studied to discuss the effect of water activity to the discoloring reaction and the preservative moisture content. The development of rancidity of the fish meat was also mentioned since the fish is fatty and the lipid oxidation is a functional deteriorative reaction. Fresh anchovies were boiled in $10\%$ salt solution immediately after the catch, sun dried, and stored at room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) for two months in humidistat chambers maintaining different levels of water activity as described in Table 1. The pigments formed by non-enzymatic browning reations were extracted in two fractions, those were chloroform-methanol soluble and water dialyzed fraction, and analyzed spectrophotometrically at the wavelength of 460 nm. These two fractions were considered, respectively to be the brown pigments formed by lipid oxidation reactions for the formler and for the latter, to be the pigments developed by sugar-amino or Maillard reaction. The oxidation of lipid in anchovy meat during the storage was measured as the changes in Peroxide value and the color development of thiobarbituric acid reaction. It is summarized from the results that the rate of both reactions, lipid oxidation and browning, was affected by water activity levels. In regard to the changes in peroxide and TBA value during the storage, the propagation of lipid oxidation was obviously accelerated at lower humidities whereas the development of browning progressed at the higher. These two reactions occurring simultaneously and contrary in activity resulted in that the rate of deterioration occurring oxidatively or by browning, was the minimum at the water activity of 0.32-0.45 which were $7-9\%$ as moisture content and slightly higher value than that of monolayer (Aw=0.21, $5.11\%$ as moisture content). It is also noted that the lipid oxidative browning was presumed to dominate sugar-amino reactions so that the rate of browning of the meat was ultimately depended on the development of rancidity although sugar-amino reactions initiated earlier than the other at the first ten days of storage, particulary at higher humidity. At the lower humidity sugar-amino reactions were occurred gradually but lower levels in color development in contrast to the consistent increase in lipid oxidative browning.

Major factors inhibiting nonenzymatic browning in stored ginger paste were investigated using aqueous model systems with temperature, water activity, pH and sulfur compounds. Browning index and total gingerols were measured during storage. The rate of nonenzymatic browning reactions showed a strong depencence on temperature and pH and a negligible influence on water activity. It was also reduced by the addition of 0.04% N-actyl-L-cysteine(NAcCys), effectively. Activation energies for aqueous ginger model systems with and without 0.04% NAcCys were 29.0 and 25.8kcal/mole, respectively.
