COMPOSITION CONTAINING FUCOIDAN OR FUCOIDAN HYDROLYSATE AND IMMUNOPOTENTIATING MATERIAL

摘要

Materials are provided that potentiate an immuno-stimulating activity of materials such as lactic acid bacteria. Such materials contribute to reducing the use of immuno-stimulating materials. It also contributes to shortening the time taken to select lactic acid bacteria that have a strong immuno-stimulating activity and preferred fermentation characteristics. For the purposes, fucoidan or a product obtained by acid hydrolyzing fucoidan (or oligosaccharides derived from it) is used in combination with an immuno-stimulating material. This combination synergistically potentiates the immunomodulatory activities or immuno-stimulating activities of the ingredients.
