γ−アミノ酪酸は生体内に存在する蛋白質を構成しないアミノ酸であり、抑制性神経伝達物質として考えられている。最近では、血圧降下作用、アルコール代謝促進作用、脳代謝促進作用、及び肥満防止作用といった機能性を有する物質として注目を集めている。このため、様々な食品にγ−アミノ酪酸を富化した機能性食品を製造する方法が提案されている。   γ-Aminobutyric acid is an amino acid that does not constitute a protein present in the living body, and is considered as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Recently, it has attracted attention as a substance having functions such as a blood pressure lowering action, an alcohol metabolism promoting action, a brain metabolism promoting action, and an obesity preventing action. For this reason, methods for producing functional foods enriched with γ-aminobutyric acid in various foods have been proposed.

清酒、味噌、醤油等の製造に古くから使用されている麹にはγ−アミノ酪酸生成能があることが知られている。特開平10−165191号公報では、麹菌にアスペルギルス・オリーゼ(Aspergillus oryzae)を用いた米麹を使用してγ−アミノ酪酸を製造する方法が開示されている(特許文献1)。
特開平11−103825号公報では、麹菌を使用してγ−アミノ酪酸を富化した食品素材、味噌、醤油等の製造方法が開示されている(特許文献2)。また、特開2001−327258公報では、水を含浸させた玄米、胚芽米及び部分搗精米から選ばれる少なくとも一種を主原料とし、膨化処理をして形成した食品素材が開示されている(特許文献3)。γ−アミノ酪酸富化膨化玄米であり、発芽玄米パウダー素材として市販されている。白米ではγ−アミノ酪酸を2mg/100g含有しているのに対し、γ−アミノ酪酸富化膨化玄米では12mg/100g含有している。
一方、特開2003−169659公報では、γ−アミノ酪酸を高含量で含有するアルコール飲料及びその製造方法が開示されている。麹の自己消化工程及び/又はγ−アミノ酪酸生成能を有する乳酸菌の培養工程を包含する方法により得られる麹の処理物を用いることが特徴である(特許文献4)。しかしながら、みりんの製造において、麹の自己消化工程及び/又はγ−アミノ酪酸生成能を有する乳酸菌の培養工程を包含する方法により得られる麹の処理物を用いることなく、γ−アミノ酪酸を高含量で含有する方法は検討されていない。
It has been known that koji used for the production of sake, miso, soy sauce and the like has an ability to produce γ-aminobutyric acid. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-165191 discloses a method for producing γ-aminobutyric acid using rice bran using Aspergillus oryzae as the koji mold (Patent Document 1).
