Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a beverage composition, and particularly to a beverage composition useful for improving muscle exercise performance in sports, manual labor, and the like.

Conventionally, various beverage compositions called so-called sports drinks have been commercially available.

The inventor has found that ingestion of a beverage containing branched chain amino acids improves muscle motor function.

Ru. That is, the present invention provides a beverage composition characterized by containing a branched chain amino acid.

There are three types of branched chain amino acids: isoleucine, leucine and valine, and the beverage composition of the present invention contains at least one of these amino acids.

The branched chain amino acid may be contained at 0.5 f/1 or more, and the upper limit may be determined in consideration of the solubility of the amino acid, the weight of the person taking it, the degree of muscle exercise, etc. Usually, it is preferable that the amino acid contains 20 Vt or more, and if there is a restriction due to the solubility of the amino acid, it is preferable to use an appropriate combination of two or more branched chain amino acids. Also,
Sweeteners to improve the palatability of the beverage composition.

Appropriate ingredients can be selected from ingredients such as acidulants, fragrances, carbonic acid, and alcohol, as well as other nutritional ingredients, such as sugars, amino acids such as arginine, vitamins, minerals, and crude drug ingredients, and can be blended as appropriate.

The beverage composition of the present invention may be in the form of liquid, powder, molded product, etc., but when ingested, it is preferable to use it as an aqueous solution.

When the beverage composition of the present invention is ingested, branched chain amino acids are transferred into the blood immediately after ingestion, improving muscle movement function.

Therefore, it is beneficial to drink during or after sports or physical labor. Moreover, by constantly drinking this beverage, general muscle movement functions can be maintained. However, regular use of this drink has no harmful effects.

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to examples.

All of the beverages that obtained No. 1 were excellent in palatability.

Example 6 Six-week-old male SD rats (preliminarily bred and accustomed to the laboratory environment) weighing approximately 165 fP were used, divided into four groups of five rats each, and the rats in each group were The average weight was kept at about the same level.

During the experimental period, Group 19 Group 2 received 10% casein.

Groups 31 and 4 were fed a diet containing 20% soybean oil, 64% starch, 5% inorganic salts mixture, and 1% vitamins mixture, while Group 31 and Group 4 received 30% wheat gluten, 20% soybean oil, 44% starch, and inorganic salts mixture. 5% and a vitamin mixture of 1%.

One rat per cage was housed in a cage equipped with a rotating cage (circumference: 1 m) that allowed free movement. The cage is placed in an animal breeding room, with a room temperature of 23±1°C and a humidity of 55±10°C.
% and kept under conditions of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. Feed was provided using the Baird feed method, and water was provided ad libitum. Rats in Groups 2 and 4 were given a mixture of isoleucine, leucine and valine in an aqueous solution such that each animal ingested 7 vag of isoleucine, 13 g of leucine, and smy of valine per day.

After a period of time for the rats to get used to the experimental food (5 days after the start of feeding the experimental food), the number of rotations of the rotating cage was measured every day, and based on this, the locomotor activity of each rat was calculated as the distance traveled per day (meters). ).

After continuing the above experiment for 18 days, the average body weight of rats in each group was 254.6±7.56f for group 1 and 2 for group 2.

In group 4, it was 250.4±5.46f. (The values below the upper symbol are standard deviation values). Similarly, the ratio of the average daily voluntary mileage of group 2, that is, the rats that drank branched-chain amino acids in addition to the diet of group 1, to the average daily voluntary mileage of the rats that consumed group 1, that is, the casein diet. The ratio of the average daily voluntary mileage of Group 4, that is, the rats that drank branched-chain amino acids in addition to the group 3 diet, to the average daily voluntary mileage of Group 3, that is, the rats that took the wheat gluten diet, for each day. It is shown below.

Amino acid intake increased voluntary locomotion in rats and the ratio of daily voluntary mileage was 1 [57111 21,721,11 3t 97 f, 264
