USE OF POST-GERMINATING VEGETABLE SEEDS AS A SOURCE OF SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE AND COSMETIC, PHARMACEUTICAL OR AGRO-FOOD COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SUCH SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE VEGETABLE, AND METHOD OF EXTRACTING

摘要

A superoxide dismutase, or SOD, is disclosed. Germinated plant seeds are used in accordance with the invention as a source of superoxide dismutase which can thereafter be complexed with a peroxidase and a enzyme cofactor. Cosmetic, pharmaceutical or agri-food compositions having anti-free radical activity can thus be obtained.
