Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery that melanoidins, and higher molecular weight fractions of products containing melanoidins, provide significant corrosive inhibition, which render these melanoidins suitable for use as anticorrosive agents in corrosive environments. In addition to being highly anticorrosive, the melanoidins of the present invention are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, and can be found in animal food and in human foodstuffs.

Abstract: An industrial brine which exhibits improved corrosion inhibition which contains a carbohydrate having a molecular weight in the range of about 180 to 342 and where said carbohydrate is present in a concentration sufficient to reduce the corrosion rate of said brine by at least about 70%. The brine includes chloride salts such as magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride and mixtures thereof.
