Description

The present invention relates to antioxidants, cosmetics, food and beverage compositions and pharmaceutical compositions, and in particular, is excellent in the effect of improving various skin problems such as rough skin caused by ultraviolet rays, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne and dermatitis. The present invention relates to antioxidants, cosmetics, food and beverage compositions, and pharmaceutical compositions.

Since skin is the outermost layer of the body, it is easily affected by environmental factors in daily life. Ultraviolet rays and the active oxygen and lipid peroxides that are generated by it cause inflammation and other tissues such as skin. Cause a lot of damage. In addition, these inflammations and skin damage cause various skin troubles such as rough skin, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and dermatitis, along with a decrease in skin function due to aging.

In order to improve various skin problems such as rough skin, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne and dermatitis induced by aging and ultraviolet rays in such daily life, cosmetics, food and beverage compositions and pharmaceutical compositions have been conventionally used. Synthetic antioxidants (dibutylhydroxytoluene, butylhydroxyanisole, etc.) and naturally-derived antioxidants (α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, etc.) are used as products. However, these antioxidants still have many problems in terms of safety and stability. For example, butylhydroxyanisole is currently prohibited from being used because it has been confirmed to be carcinogenic. Moreover, ascorbic acid is easily decomposed and has a problem in terms of stability.

In recent years, various antioxidant substances extracted from plant seeds, leaves, rhizomes, and the like have been produced, and have been tried to be incorporated into cosmetics, pharmaceutical compositions, food and beverage compositions, and the like. As a material using plant-derived raw materials, for example, an antioxidant stress product having a high antioxidant property composed of a natural antioxidant and an antioxidant vitamin (see, for example, Patent Document 1) is disclosed. Antioxidants such as matcha, sesame, highly antioxidant spices and herbs (rosemary, sage, thyme, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, kiraway, fennel, coriander, pepper, cardamom), cocoa powder, lactic acid bacteria Euglena cells are mentioned. Moreover, the antioxidant (for example, refer patent document 2) containing the tannin derived from baking chestnut skin, the antioxidant (for example, refer patent document 3) containing the solvent extract of a cacao pod outer skin, etc. are also known. It has been.

On the other hand, arginyl fructosyl glucose has a vasodilatory effect, and it is known that arginyl fructosyl glucose can be produced by subjecting arginine and maltose to a Maillard reaction in the presence of an acid (see, for example, Patent Document 4). ing. In addition, maltulosyl arginine, which can be produced by Maillard reaction of arginine and maltose in the presence of acid, has anti-inflammatory action, TNF-α production inhibitory action, cyclooxygenase-2 activity inhibitory action, anti-aging action, type I collagen production It has been known to have a promoting action, a type IV collagen production promoting action, a transglutaminase-1 production promoting action, a hyaluronic acid production promoting action and a nitric oxide production promoting action (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

Although the antioxidant which used the plant-derived raw material was known like the said background art, there exists a subject in the safety ensuring of a raw material, or a procurement ease. Although there is an example of utilizing a part that is originally discarded as in Patent Documents 2 and 3, there are new problems including distribution in order to utilize as a business. On the other hand, it has been known that arginyl fructosyl glucose has a vasodilatory action as in Patent Document 4 and that maltulosylarginine has various actions as in Patent Document 5, It has not been known that tosylglucose has an antioxidant effect.

The obtained solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated and dried to obtain 4.7 g of a mixture. This is redissolved in 50 ml of water, applied to a column filled with a cation exchange resin, and eluted with 1% aqueous ammonia. The eluate was concentrated and freeze-dried to obtain 2.4 g of arginyl fructosyl glucose fraction. The obtained arginyl fructosyl glucose fraction (2.4 g) was purified with a silica gel column and Biogel P-2 to obtain 0.26 g of arginyl fructosyl glucose.

Measurement of radical scavenging action The radical scavenging action of arginyl fructosyl glucose obtained in the above production was measured using 2,2-Dipheyl-1-picryldrazyl (manufactured by Sigma, hereinafter abbreviated as DPPH). As an experimental operation method, 0.1 ml of 0.8 mM DPPH solution, 0.1 ml of 80% ethanol, 0.1 ml of 2M MES buffer (pH 6.0), and addition adjusted so as to have the addition concentrations shown in Table 1 0.1 ml of an 80% ethanol solution of the test substance was added, and the absorbance at a wavelength of 520 nm was measured. For the measurement of absorbance, an SH-1000 microplate reader manufactured by Corona Electric Co., Ltd. was used. The measurement results of the radical scavenging action of arginyl fructosyl glucose are shown in Table 1.
