The metabolic transit of three samples( 14C glycine-glyucose melanoidin, glycine-glucose melanoidin and soybean sauce ) were studied on rats. The radioactivity of various organs and excreta intubated 14C glycine-glucose melanoidin on rats at various intervals(1, 3, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs were detected . And the brown pigment contents and hydrogen donating activities in the excreta which is obtained from three samples were detected during the 7 days after intubated. The total amount of 14C excreted in the fecese were 53% meaning that the rest of 47% melanoidin seemed to be retained in the body or metabolized . The radioactive compound showed a small retention in the liver and kidney. The brown pigment contents and hydrogen donating activities in the urine and feces increased proportionally to the activity of 14C. When the soybean sauce and glycine glucose melanoidin were intubated, the brown pigment contents excreted in the feces were found to be the highest after 1 st day of intubation. In the urine, the model melanoidin was excreted mostly after 3 days of intubation. The brown pigment contents and hydrogen donating activities of three samples of excreta agreed with each other. The soybean sauce retained longer than model melanoidin in the body is telling that it might have antioxidative activity in vivo.
