INHIBITOR OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE-PRODUCING ENZYME

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inhibit the generation of hydrogen sulfide, especially to provide an inhibitor of a hydrogen sulfide-producing enzyme. PSOLUTION: It is discovered that catechins have activity for inhibiting the hydrogen sulfide-producing enzyme as a result of performing the inhibition test against the production of the hydrogen sulfide by bacteria by paying attention to a green tea-derived components having no side effects, exhibiting high safety and utilized from old times. The catechins are components derived from the green tea, and exhibit the high safety and good image. As a result, the inhibitor of the hydrogen sulfide-producing enzyme contains the catechins as active ingredients. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
