Abstract: Novel melanoidins are produced by the Maillard reaction. Here, melanoidins with high antibacterial activity were tested by examining various combinations of reducing sugars and amino acids as reaction substrates. Twenty-two types of melanoidins were examined by combining two reducing sugars (glucose and xylose) and eleven L-isomers of amino acids (alanine, arginine, glutamine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine) to confirm the effects of these melanoidins on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes at 25 degrees C. The melanoidins produced from the combination of D-xylose with either L-phenylalanine (Xyl-Phe) or L-proline (Xyl-Pro), for which absorbance at 420 nm was 3.5 +/- 0.2, completely inhibited the growth of L. mono-cytogenes at 25 degrees C for 48 h. Both of the melanoidins exhibited growth inhibition of L. monocytogenes which was equivalent to the effect of nisin (350 IU/mL). The antimicrobial spectrum of both melanoidins was also investigated for 10 different species of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative species. While Xyl-Phe-based melanoidin successfully inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus and Brevibacillus brevis, Xyl-Probased melanoidin inhibited the growth of Salmonella enterica Typhimurium. However, no clear trend in the antimicrobial spectrum of the melanoidins against different bacterial species was observed. The findings in the present study suggest that melanoidins generated from xylose with phenylalanine and/or proline could be used as potential novel alternative food preservatives derived from food ingredients to control pathogenic bacteria. IMPORTANCE Although the antimicrobial effect of melanoidins has been reported in some foods, there have been few comprehensive investigations on the antimicrobial activity of combinations of reaction substrates of the Maillard reaction. The present study comprehensively investigated the potential of various combinations of reducing sugars and amino acids. Because the melanoidins examined in this study were produced simply by heating in an autoclave at 121 degrees C for 60 min, the targeted melanoidins can be easily produced. The melanoidins produced from combinations of xylose with either phenylalanine or proline exhibited a wide spectrum of antibiotic effects against various pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, and Salmonella enterica Typhimurium. Since the antibacterial effect of the melanoidins on L. monocytogenes was equivalent to that of a nisin solution (350 IU/mL), we might expect a practical application of melanoidins as novel food preservatives.
