One of the consequences of hyperglycemia is the excessive nonenzymatic glycation of proteins known as Millard reaction. Under hyperglycemia the irreversibly formed advanced glycation endproducts(AGEs) do not return to normal when hyperglycemia is corrected and continue to accumulate over the lifetime of protein. AGEs are largely involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. To find possible AGEs inhibitor, BSA was added to a mixture of sugars and unprocessed-, processed Coptidis Rhizoma, Berberine, its standard compound or AG(Aminoguanidine HCl: positive control).

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.
