A blue compound was prepared from 1 M D-xylose and 0.1 M glycine, and designated Blue-M1, an intermediate color product of melanoidins. As melanoidins are well known to have antioxidative activity as well as high scavenging activity against active oxygen species, the antioxidative activity of Blue-M1 against the peroxidation of linoleic acid was investigated, in addition to the scavenging activity of Blue-M1 toward hydroxyl and DPPH radicals. Blue-M1 suppressed the peroxidation of linoleic acid as effectively as melanoidins did. The scavenging activity of Blue-M1 toward hydroxyl and DPPH radicals was also as strong as that of melanoidins. Blue-M1 showed higher activity with increasing concentration. The pyrrolopyrrole ring and a methine bridge between two pyrrolopyrrole rings in Blue-M1 could be related to the ability for radical scavenging activity, but not four carboxyl groups.
