Maillard reaction substances (MRS) may cause mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and DNA breaking. Chemiluminescence is associated with free radical formation. Soya sauce, a fermented soyabean-derived food, is rich in MRS and has been shown to exhibit chemiluminescence in the presence of reactive oxygen species. This study examined the superoxide and hydroxy radical-scavenging activity of soya sauce and measured its chemiluminescence.
