INHIBITOR OF PEROXYLIPID FORMATION

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain an inhibitor of peroxylipid formation, containing a reactional product from a lactic acid bacteria fermentation prepared by culturing lactic acid bacteria in a smoked liquid culture medium and excellent in preventive action on autoxidation of lipids and free radial scavenging ability without exhibiting cytotoxicity. CONSTITUTION:An inhibitor of peroxylipid formation containing a reactional product from a lactic acid bacteria fermentation obtained by adding a smoked liquid to a lactic acid bacteria fermentation product obtained by culturing lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus fermentum in a normal culture medium (e.g. Briggs culture medium or a milk culture medium) as an active ingredient. The aforementioned medicine is useful for preventing exogenous oxidation caused in preserving foods and endogeous oxidation occurring in living bodies and further inhibiting a rise in peroxylipid level in the living bodies. The above- mentioned medicine may directly be administered or added to a food such as a nutriment drink agent or a coffee beverage.
