Maillard reaction products (MRP) from histidine and glucose were fractionated by various methods to isolate the antioxidative products. Upon dialysis through membranes with a nominal molecular weight cut-off of 1000 daltons, antioxidative components were concentrated in the retentate. Further purification of the antioxidative material was obtained by isoelectric precipitation of the retentate at pH 5.0. The precipitate was considerably more antioxidative than the supernatant. The precipitate was fractionated by preparative electrophoresis. The most antioxidative electrophoresis fraction is now being analyzed by spectrometric methods. Its C, Η, Ν, O content was determined and EPR studies showed it to contain stable free radicals. EPR studies of several fractions of the histidine-glucose reaction mixture showed good agree­ ment between intensity of EPR signal and antioxidative effect. The free radicals are suggested to be of importance for the antioxidative mechanism of the MRP.
