MAILLARD REACTION INHIBITOR AND METHOD FOR INHIBITING MAILLARD REACTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method which does not aim at inhibiting the production of an amadori transposition product (an amadori compound) itself or inhibiting the final production of a product (AGE (advanced glycation end products)) in the latter stage, i.e. to provide a conventionally unknown, novel Maillard reaction inhibitor by searching a drug which promotes degradation of the amadori compound (key substance) in the first half of the Maillard reaction.;SOLUTION: The overall Maillard reaction can be delayed by addition of a riboflavin or its derivative to a Maillard reaction system containing an amino compound and a reducing sugar, because the riboflavin or its derivative is effective in promoting the degradation of the amadori compound which is an intermediate product of the Maillard reaction.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
