This study was designed to investigate the influence of the pH and enantiomer on the antioxidant activity of Maillard reaction mixture solution in model systems. The loss of glucose in MRPs did not show different characteristics for the different amino acid enantiomers; however, the concentration of glucose decreased as the pH levels increased. The enolization of sugars was observed in all MRP samples according to increase of pH levels. In addition, D-amino acids were detected in L-amino acid systems and L-amino acids could also be observed in D-amino acid systems. Formation of the isomer was the highest in the Glc/L-Lys system. The browning development increased as pH levels increased; however, browning development did not show different characteristics based on the use of L- versus D-isomers of the same amino acid. The L- and D-isomers show different absorption values in the UV-Vis spectra, but the absorption patterns display a similar shape. The antioxidant activities of MRPs derived from the Glc/Gly, Glc/L-Asn and Glc/D-Asn systems at pH 7.0 were greater compared to those of pH 4.0 and pH 10.0. The antioxidant activities of MRPs derived from the Glc/L-Lys and Glc/D-Lys systems decreased as the pH increased. In addition, the results show that the MRPs derived from the D-isomers have similar antioxidant activities as those from L-isomer. Therefore, the MRPs have the different antioxidant activities on the basis of the pH level, but not on the basis of different amino acid enantiomers.
