The study was carried out to compare the relation between the color intensity and antioxidant activity of caramelization products using xylose(XY), glucose(GL). sucrose(SU), glucose＋citric acid(GLCA), glucose＋sodium citrate(GLSC), heated at 80, 120 and 140$\^{C}$ for 24hrs, respectively. The color intensity(absorbance at 490nm) of the browning mixtures increased as the browning temperature and time increased. But the degrees of color intensity of SU and GLCA changed very little. The hydrogen donating ability(HDA) of browning reaction products was generally enhanced as the browning temperature and time increased. When browning mixtures were heated at 80$\^{C}$, the HDA of GLGC was the highest, but the HDA of GLSC was the highest when heated at 120 and 140$\^{C}$. The antioxidant activities for the corn oil substrate containing the anhydrous ethanol extracts from the browning mixtures was inferior to that of SU, but was superior to that of GLCA. The relations among the color intensity, the antioxidant activity, and the hydrogen donating ability(HDA, reducing power) of the browning reaction mixtures were as follows: As the color intensity increased, the antioxidant activity decreased. The correlation coefficient of the color intensity and the antioxidant activity by regression equation was -0.73 ∼ -0.82. As the reducing power increased, the antioxidant activity decreased. The correlation coefficient between the reducing power and the antioxidant activity by regression equation was -0.98 ∼ -0.99. Therefore, the antioxidant activity of browning reaction mixtures seemed not correlated with the color intensity and the reducing power.

Color is one of the most important quality factors of red ginseng (Hong-sam) which is processed from fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer). Therefore, a study of characteristics of browning mixtures of aqueous fresh ginseng extracts, factors which accelerate the browning of the aqueous extracts, and the antioxidant activity of the browning mixtures may contribute to the improvement of the color and other quality of red ginseng and other ginseng products such as ginseng extracts. In the present study, factors which affect the Maillard-type browning reaction of aqueous extracts of fresh ginseng roots were investigated firstly by adding various concentrations (0.001-0.5M) of arginine or glucose solutions, by varying the browning reaction temperatures and durations. Secondly, some characteristics such as brown color intensity, amounts of water-soluble and ether-soluble extracts, amounts of non-dialyzable materials, pH, viscosity, and reactivity with 2,2'- diphenyl -1 - picrylhydrazyl and antioxidant activity of the browning mixtures of the aqueous fresh ginseng extracts with small amounts of 0.1 M arginine, 0.1 M glucose, and distilled water at various browning temperatures and reaction time were studied. The results of the present study are as follows. 1. Color intensity (absorbance at 470 nm) of the browning mixtures was increased by adding various concentrations of arginine solution to the fresh ginseng extract, but the addition of the same amount of glucose solution did not increase the color intensity. 2 The amounts of water- or ether-soluble extracts, amounts of non-dialyzable materials were slightly greater in case of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with 0.1M arginine solution than in case of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with the same amount of 0.1 M glucose solution. In the process of the browning reaction, the pH of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with 0.1 M arginine solution decreased slightly, while that of the browning mixtures with 0. 1 M glucose solution was almost constant. 3. The color intensity (absorbance at 470 nm) of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with 0.1 M arginine or 0.1 M glucose solutions did not correlate well with the reducing power or the antioxidant power of the browning mixtures. The antioxidant activity of 90% ethanol extracts from the earlier stages of the browning mixtures of the fresh ginseng extract with the arginine solution was almost comparable to that of the 90% ethanol extracts from the later stages of the corresponding browning mixtures. The browning mixtures of only the fresh ginseng extract or of the fresh ginseng extract with the glucose solution showed considerable antioxidant activity, although both showed less brown color intensity than the fresh ginseng extract with he arginine solution.

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.

Changes in Maillard reaction of pidan white were monitored with $A_{294}$, fluorescence intensity, and browning intensity during pickling in the absence and presence of Chinese black tea extract (Camellia sinensis) at levels of 2% and 5% together with 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ or 0.2% $CaCl_2$ up to 3 wk, followed by ageing for another 3 wk. Browning intensity and $A_{294}$ of pidan white increased with increasing pickling/ageing, while fluorescence intensity decreased during ageing (p<0.05), irrespective of treatments. At wk 6, pidan white treated with 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ and 0.2% $CaCl_2$ showed slightly higher browning intensity, fluorescence intensity and $A_{294}$ than those treated with divalents together with Chinese black tea (p<0.05). Free amino group and sugar contents showed continuous decrease during pickling and ageing irrespective of tea and cations used. However, pidan treated without Chinese black tea extract showed significantly lower free amino group and sugar during the ageing of 6 wk (p<0.05). Thus, Chinese black tea extract had an inhibitory effect on the Maillard reaction during ageing of pidan white.

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.

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.

The incorporation of Shiitake culture into sawdust is a widely utilized technique that can assist in reducing the cost and time consumption associated with oak cultivation. In sawdust cultivation, browning of the surface mycelia is an important stage with respect to the utility and longevity of the sawdust media. Surface browning forms a protective coating on the substrate, which can inhibit the invasion of pathogens and suppress water evaporation. Several different light sources (red LED, white LED, blue LED, and fluorescent light) were used and the intensity of illumination was carefully controlled (1.5, 10.5, $20.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ for LEDs and 10, 100, 300 lux for the fluorescent light) to induce browning. The light sources were regulated via a 1 h on/off cycle in a controlled room environment at a temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, 60% humidity, and 1200 ppm $CO_2$ concentration for 60days. The browning effect varied depending on the source and the intensity of illumination. This effect was most effectively induced at $1.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ for the red and blue LEDs. All light sources induced less browning at the highest intensity of illumination. This indicates that intensity values higher than $20.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ in the case of the LEDs and 300 lux for the fluorescent light are not effective. After harvesting of the fruit bodies, we measured the weight, length, and width of the pileus and stipe in addition to their chromaticity and hardness. Treatment with $1.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ blue LED produced the best harvest with the highest average chromaticity, weight (21.2 g), stipe length (30.8 mm), and hardness (377.9 g), with a fine length and width of the pileus.

Dynamic changes of free sugar and amino acid in the mixture of red bean paste sediment by corn syrup concentration and heating conditions were monitored. Glucose and fructose contents of red bean paste increased with an increasing blown color intensity. Amino acid content was affected by the heating temperature, increased with an increase in browning color intensify. Browning color intensity of each samples increased up to $95^{\circ}C$, but decreased above $95^{\circ}C$. This result was the same tend as changes of glucose and amino acid. The result of correlation coefficients among free sugar amino acid and browning color intensity show that increase in browning color intensity was not correlated directly with changes of free sugar and amino acid content. It seems that the contents of free sugar and amino acid resolved from saccharides and protein were much mote than contents nea for 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.

This study examined the effects of temperature, D-psicose concentration, pH, and various amino acids on the Maillard browning reaction of D-psicose and glycine mixture and compared browning color intensity with those of other sugars, such as sucrose, D-glucose, D-fructose, and D-tagatose. When D-psicose (0.1 M) and glycine (0.1 M) mixture was heated at $70-100^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr, the absorbance at 420 nm increased with increasing reaction temperature and time. The Hunter a, b values, and color difference (${\Delta}E$) increased with increasing D-psicose concentration and pH within the range of pH 3-7 except at pH 6, while the L value decreased. The rate of Maillard browning reaction was in order of D-tagatose>D-psicose $\fallingdotseq$ D-fructose>D-glucose>sucrose. The browning color intensity of the D-psicose-basic and non-polar amino acids mixtures was higher than that of the D-psicose-acidic amino acids.
