Antioxidative Maillard reaction products can be formed from arginine and xylose. The effects of time, initial pH and molar ratio of arginine to xylose on the yield of antioxidative activity were investigated. The best results were obtained by refluxing 1M arginine HCl with 1M xylose in water at 100°C for 10–20 hr at an initial pH of 5. The use of 1:1 pyridine/water reaction medium produced a twofold increase in activity suggesting the role of a base catalyst for the production of maximum yields.
