Abstract: A model of age pigment generation was builted by carbonyl-ammonia cross linking reaction in vitro, the datas indicate that theaflavins can not only inhibit the generation of age pigment in protein carbonylation, but also supress β-sheet-rich in aggregate protein in this model by thioflavin T-based fluorometric assay, scanning electron microscope, transmission electric microscope, SDS-PAGE and NBT staining, there are postive relationship between protein carbonylation on mechanism of aging and protein aggregation that lead to neurodegenerative disease.

Key words: theaflavin, carbonyl-ammonia cross linking reaction, age pigment, protein aggregation
