Title:
WASTE MOLASSES WITH ENHANCED ANTIOXIDANT ACTION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006094800
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide lactic acid bacterium fermentation-treated materials having an improved flavor with an enhanced antioxidant activity as compared with that of waste molasses or molasses themselves, to provide a method for producing the materials and to provide a functional food or a food material containing the lactic acid bacterium fermentation-treated materials.

The fermentation-treated waste molasses with the high antioxidant activity are produced by culturing materials prepared by adding a nearly equal amount of water to the waste molasses formed as a by-product in a process of manufacturing sugar from sugarcanes, etc., in a sugar manufacturing factory with the lactic acid bacterium, the lactic acid bacterium and a yeast, the lactic acid bacterium and Bacillus subtilis or the lactic acid bacterium, yeast and Bacillus subtilis at 40°C for 72 h. Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptococcus thermophilus can suitably be exemplified as the lactic acid bacterium. The fermentation-treated waste molasses (waste molasses) are added to a food to thereby provide the functional food with the enhanced antioxidant activity.
