FERMENTATION BEVERAGE CONTAINING ANTIOXIDANT, OCTACOSANOL AND amp;beta;-GLUCAN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fermentation beverage capable of sufficiently exhibiting the effects of substances useful for a human body such as an antioxidant, octacosanol and a β-glucan, and keeping the number of lactic bacteria at a high level.;SOLUTION: The fermentation beverage obtained by inoculating useful microorganisms on a medium prepared as follows: a yeast extract is added to a mixture of malt, rice bran, an seaweed extract and purified glucose; and subsequently the mixture is subjected to heat sterilization. The fermentation beverage contains a natural antioxidant, octacosanol and a β-glucan. Malt, rice bran and seaweeds are dipped into distilled water, and the supernatant is collected. Purified glucose and an yeast extract as growth stimulating agents are added to the supernatant, and the mixture is sterilized at a high temperature and subsequently cooled to an ordinary temperature to produce a medium for fermentation microorganisms. Useful microorganisms are inoculated, and they are sufficiently cultured to obtain the fermentation beverage.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
