Abstract: Aroma compounds from the Maillard reaction (MR) between protein and monosaccharide during food processing are widely applied in the field of foods. MR can also occur between chitosan and monosaccharide, and the resulting reaction products (melanoidins) have stronger antibacterial and antioxidant activity than chitosan. However, there are few studies worldwide in this regard. Thus, the objective of this article is to review the latest progress in the preparation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) between chitosan and monosaccharide and their antibacterial and antioxidant activity, which will provide a theoretical basis for wide application the MRPs in the field of food processing and preservation.

Key words: chitosan; monosaccharide; Maillard reaction products; antioxidation; bacteriostasis
