<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method by which both GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) and ornithine can simultaneously and efficiently be produced, to provide a method for efficiently increasing the GABA and ornithine contents in a food without adding a pure substance of each or/and a salt thereof or/and a material containing the same and to provide a composition and a food and drink reasonably affording continuous ingestion of necessary amounts of the GABA and ornithine by the method. <P>SOLUTION: A lactic acid bacterium having both the ability to produce the GABA and the ability to produce the ornithine is inoculated into a culture medium or a food raw material containing glutamic acid or/and salts thereof and arginine or/and salts thereof. Thereby, lactic acid fermentation is carried out. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
