Objective To study the characterization and antioxidant activity of Maillard reaction products of autolytic peptides from Stichopus japonicus. Methods The autolysis phenomenon of Stichopus japonicus was taken to dissolve their body walls. Further used D-xylose and Stichopus japonicus autolytic peptides for Maillard reaction to modify autolytic peptides, and the physical and chemical properties and antioxidant activity differences of the Maillard reaction products were analyzed. Results The Maillard reaction conditions were as follows: Reaction time 4 h, reaction temperature 120 ℃, mass ratio of Stichopus japonicus autolytic peptides to D-xylose 1:2. After the reaction, the content of free amino group decreased from (32.35±1.90) μg/mL to (12.68±1.10) μg/mL. The maximum fluorescence emission peak of the Maillard reaction products shifted from 401 nm to 434 nm, and an absorption peak appeared at 288 nm in the ultraviolet absorption spectrum. The molecular weight measurement showed that the large molecular weight material above 3600 u increased significantly. The appearance of the Maillard reaction products from the autolytic peptides of Stichopus japonicus and D-xylose was verified. When the mass concentration of Maillard reaction products was 8 mg/mL, the scavenging ability of hydroxyl free radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine (DPPH) free radical and 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) cation free radical were above 85%, and the reducing ability of Fe3+ was 6.3 times higher than that of autolytic peptides from Stichopus japonicus before the reaction. Conclusion The results provide a new reference for utilizing the autolysis of Stichopus japonicus and improving the antioxidant activity of the Stichopus japonicus autolytic peptides.
