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.

Four-dimensional response surface methodology was used for monitoring dynamic changes in substrates during Maillard reaction. The coefficients of determination ($R^2$) of response surface regression equations for the changes in amino acids during Maillard reaction were 0.9478 for total amino acids and above 0.90 for each amino acid. $R^2$ of regression equations for the changes in sugars during Maillard reaction were 0.9250 for glucose and 0.6490 for fructose. The contents of total amino acids gradually decreased with increasing reaction temperature and pH of the solvent. Browning color intensity increased with rising reaction temperature, showing maximum color intensity at around $145^{\circ}C$. Each amino acid showed a decreasing tendency in its contents, which was similarly found in total amino acids. Four-dimensional response surface methodology indicated that the increased temperature during Maillard reaction was the most influential factor in decreasing substrates, such as aspartic acid, threonine and glucose. While the reaction time and pH of solvent little affected the changes in the above-mentioned substrates during Maillard reaction.

This research was carried out to investigate the effects of Maillard reaction products and nondialyzable melanoidins on the nitrite-scavenging. Nitrite-scavenging reactions were done at the different pH conditions(pH 1.2, 4.2 and 6.0). Maillard reaction products and nondialyzable melanoidins, produced from the glucose-amino acids(lys., gly., arg., his.)model systems, had a great of nitrite-scavenging effects. Nitrite-scavenging effects of Maillard reaction products and nondialyzable melanoidins were also pH dependent, being higher at pH 1.2 and lower at pH 6.0. By the treatment of Maillard reaction products and nondialyzable melanoidins with sodium borohydride, nitrite-scavenging effects were remarkably decreased at pH 1.2.

Sulfur-containing amino acids play important roles in good flavor generation in Maillard reaction of non-enzymatic browning, so aqueous model systems of glucosamine and cysteine were studied to investigate the effects of reaction temperature, initial pH, reaction time, and concentration ratio of glucosamine and cysteine. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the independent reaction parameters of cysteine and glucosamine in Maillard reaction. Box-Behnken factorial design was used with 30 runs of 16 factorial levels, 8 axial levels and 6 central levels. The degree of Maillard reaction was determined by reading absorption at 425 nm in a spectrophotometer and Hunter's L, a, and b values. ${\Delta}E$ was consequently set as the fifth response factor. In the statistical analyses, determination coefficients ($R^2$) for their absorbance, Hunter's L, a, b values, and ${\Delta}E$ were 0.94, 0.79, 0.73, 0.96, and 0.79, respectively, showing that the absorbance and Hunter's b value were good dependent variables for this model system. The optimum processing parameters were determined to yield glucosamine-cysteine Maillard reaction product with higher absorbance and higher colour change. The optimum estimated absorbance was achieved at the condition of initial pH 8.0, $111^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, 2.47 h reaction time, and 1.30 concentration ratio. The optimum condition for colour change measured by Hunter's b value was 2.41 h reaction time, $114^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, initial pH 8.3, and 1.26 concentration ratio. These results can provide the basic information for Maillard reaction of aqueous model system between glucosamine and cysteine.

The aim of this research was to enhance the flavor of visceral extracts from skipjack tuna. Flavor precursors and the optimum condition for the Maillard reaction were determined. The flavor extract was prepared from the tuna viscera using Endo/Exo Protease controlled in 3 factors; temperature, enzyme amounts and incubation time. The optimal condition for producing tuna viscera protein hydrolysate (TVPH) was 60℃, 0.5% enzyme (w/w) and 4-hour incubation time. TVPH were further processed to tuna viscera flavor enhancer (TVFE) with Maillard reaction. The Maillard reactions of TVFE were conducted with or without supplements such as xylose, yeast extract and methionine. The Maillard volatile components were analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sixteen volatiles such as 2-methylpropanal, methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, dimethyl disulfide and 2-acetylthaizone were newly formed via Maillard reaction and the similarity of volatile contents from TVPH and TVFE were virtualized using Pearson's correlation integrated with heat-map and principal component analysis. To virtualize aromagram of TVPH and TVFE, odor activity value and odor impact spectrum (OIS) techniques were applied. According to OIS results, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, 1-octen-3-ol 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, methional and dimethyl trisulfide were the potent odorants contributed to the meaty, creamy, and toasted aroma in TVFE.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the Maillard reactions of some oligosaccharides with lysine and the antioxidative effects of the ethanol extracts from their reaction mixtures on the soybean oil. The Maillard reactions were carried out of 2% oligosaccharides such as palatinose (PN), fructooligosaccharide (FO), isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) with 2% lysine (L) for 24 hours heating at 60, 80, $100^{\circ}C$. The color intensity of Maillard reaction mixtures were determined by UV-VIS spectrophotometer upon reaction time and temperature. And the antioxidative effects on the soybean oil of each ethanol extract from Maillard reaction mixture of each oligosaccharide were measured by peroxide value (POV). POV's of soybean oil including reaction extracts were determined regularly every 2 days during 20 days storaged at $60{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The color intensity of the Maillard reaction mixtures were raised highly as the browning temperature and time increased. The color intensity of PN L browning mixture was the highest. The order of high color intensity at $100^{\circ}C$ was PN L>FO L>Glu L>IMO L. 2. Comparing the antioxidative effect of Maillard reaction product (at $100^{\circ}C$, for 12 hours) of each oligosaccharide to that of BHT and TBHQ, the order of high antioxidative effect was TBHQ>IMO L>BHT>Glu L>PN L>FO L. 3. From these results, it was known that PN L shown as high brown color intensity was appeared low antioxidative effect, while IMO L shown as low brown color intensity was appeared high antioxidative effect. So, it was recognized that there was no relation between brown color intensity and antioxidative effect.

The present paper was carried out to investigate the inhibition of carcinogenic N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) formation by Maillard reactiion products and nondialyzable melanoidins, obtiane dfrom the glucoseamino acids(Lys, Gly, Arg, His) model systems under different pH conditions(pH 1.2, 4.2 and 6.0). Maillard raction products and nondialyzable melanoidins, produced from the 4 model systems, had a inhibitory action of N-nitrosodimethylamine formation. The inhibitiondegree by the nondialyzable mealanoidins. at pH 1.2 was similar to that at pH 4.2 and that by ascorbic acid at pH 1.2 . Inhibitory action of N-nitrosodimehylamine formation by the reduced Maillard reaction products and nondialyzable melanoidins were lower than that of original samples. Accordingly, it is assumed that the inhibition of N-nitrosodimehtylamine formation of Maillard reaction products is due to their reducing powers.

The mutagenicity of pyrolyzates (at 30$0^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ and 75$0^{\circ}C$) prepared from three kinds of Maillard reaction Products, KG-19, KG-24 and KG-32, and that of the tar of cigarettes added these products were determined by using Salmonella typhimurium TA 98. The pyrolyzates of Maillard reaction products showed linear increases of revertant colonies according to the increase of pyrolysis temperature and dose of pyrolyzates, respectively. However, there was no difference in revertant colonies between the tar of cigarettes containing these products and those containing imported Maillard reaction products, or not containing any reaction product. It seems due to a little amount of these products added to the cigarettes.

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 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.
