We have been exposed to foreign chemicals through ingesting foods, which contain several bioregulatory components showing preventive effects on aging and diseases. It is known that food components produce various reactive intermediates through metabolism and non-enzymatically modify biomolecules to form modified adducts on the molecule. Although protein modification by food components is expected to be involved in the "food functionality", most of its molecular mechanism remains unclear. This time, we introduce our research focusing on vitamin C and polyphenol-modified proteins.
