FERMENTED PRODUCT OBTAINED FROM LEMON

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fermented product having high bioactivities; and to obtain an oral composition and a percutaneous composition using the fermented product.

SOLUTION: This fermented product is obtained by the action of a microorganism (especially a lactic bacterium) on a lemon. Concretely, the fermented product having the excellent bioactivities such as a tyrosinase-inhibiting activity, an α-glucosidase-inhibiting activity and an antioxidant activity (a superoxide dismutase activity) is obtained. Especially, the fermentation by using the lactic bacterium is preferable, and the product can be utilized as a raw material for many foods, cosmetics, medicines and quasi drugs.
