2. Description of the Related Art Energy of aerobic organisms including humans is mainly based on oxidative phosphorylation in vivo, and a large amount of oxygen is required for maintaining the life. Adult humans consume about 500 L of oxygen a day to maintain daily life. Oxygen consumption varies significantly depending on the state of organs, cells, and solids, but several percent of oxygen taken into the body is constantly superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical,
It has been changed to activated oxygen such as singlet oxygen and alkoxy radical (hereinafter referred to as active oxygen). Many of these molecular species have high reactivity, and active oxygen produced in a living body has a bactericidal action against microorganisms and the like that invade the body, thereby preventing infection of the living body.

[0003] On the other hand, it is known that active oxygen attacks lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and the like in vivo and impairs their functions. That is, by the radical chain reaction,
There is a risk of increasing reaction products that impair biological functions, causing various diseases, and worsening the condition. For example, inactivation of enzymes, production of lipid peroxides, breakage of DNA chains, destruction of erythrocyte membranes, mitochondrial membranes, etc. occur, and these actions cause myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis,

[0004] Therefore, it is important to efficiently decompose active oxygen generated by metabolism in a living body to maintain life. In general, living organisms have an antioxidant defense system that protects themselves from active oxygen by enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in vivo. However, when the amount of those enzymes decreases due to stress or aging, active oxygen is excessively accumulated,
As a result, the balance in the living body is lost, and the above-mentioned pathological condition is developed or worsened. Therefore, in order to eliminate the excess active oxygen generated, safe and side-effect free foods,
It is necessary to replenish substances having an active oxygen eliminating function contained in food materials.

[0005] Searching for a substance having a function of eliminating active oxygen has been conventionally performed. For example, superoxide dismutase, which is produced in vivo, is a protein, which is digested by ingestion or has low persistence in blood by injection, making it unsuitable for practical use. Also, so-called antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and tocopherol (vitamin E) are used from the viewpoint of antioxidation, but they have little effect in terms of active oxygen scavenging function and are not stable. But there are drawbacks. In addition, active oxygen-scavenging components extracted from natural products, particularly crude drug materials, have been proposed.

In general, plants that are natural products contain components such as flavonoids, tannins, catechins and polyphenols, and these are known to have a function of eliminating active oxygen. For example, extracts extracted from grape seeds using water or a hydrophilic organic solvent contain polyphenols, especially anthocyanidins, proanthocyanidins, etc., and are rich in active oxygen scavenging ability and antioxidant foods. It is commercially available as a material. In addition, when flavonoids and catechins show the action of scavenging active oxygen in the presence of acetaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, etc., a faint light emission phenomenon is observed. Based on this correlation, search for components and materials capable of scavenging active oxygen. (Y. Yoshiki et al., Phytoch)

Then, the extraction residue is removed by filtration or centrifugation to obtain an extract, and if necessary, concentrated under reduced pressure, and furthermore, water is removed by treatment such as spray drying or freeze drying to eliminate active oxygen. Prepare a powdered extract with excellent performance. As the hydrophilic organic solvent, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, acetone, acetonitrile, acetic acid, formic acid, and the like can be used. Erasability is reduced. Therefore, it is desirable that the above-mentioned hydrophilic organic solvent be hydrated to have a water content of 30% by volume or more in the case of methanol or ethanol, and 50% by volume or more in the case of other solvents.
In addition, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, or the like is used as a solvent for water extraction in an acidic state, that is, less than pH 7, more preferably pH 6
By using the above-mentioned one, an extract having higher active oxygen scavenging ability can be obtained. In removing the solvent from the extract, the extract component according to the present invention is relatively stable to heat, and is not limited to freeze-drying. However, there is a possibility that the desired effect of the present invention is deteriorated due to deterioration due to moisture absorption or oxidation, and it is desirable to reduce the frequency of contact with air as much as possible.
