PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a functional material available by culturing a soup of beans and having excellent thrombolytic action, SOD actions and ACE actions, to provide a method for producing the functional material and to obtain a strain used for the method for production. SOLUTION: This functional material is obtained by inoculating the sterilized soup of the beans with a strain TOYO-11 to 13 (accession number: FERM P-17911 to 17913), carrying out shaking culture, centrifuging the resultant cultured product and affording a supernatant. As a result of studies on the thrombolytic activity, SOD activity and ACE inhibitory activity of the functional material, excellent thrombolytic activity, SOD actions and ACE inhibitory actions such as 32.7-37.2% SOD activity, 92.0-97.2% ACE inhibitory activity and >=25.0 FU/g thrombolytic activity are exhibited and the overall organoleptic evaluation of Natto is 4-5. Thereby, an excellent flavor and properties (especially stringiness) are exhibited. |
