Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel lactic acid bacterium belonging to Lactobacillus helveticus. The present invention also relates to fermented milk obtained by fermenting milk with the lactic acid bacteria, and a composition or food-drinks containing the lactic acid bacteria. The present invention further relates to a method for producing amino acids and / or peptides using said lactic acid bacteria. Background technique
[0002] Milk proteins and food proteins are known to potentially contain functional peptides. Attempts have been made to use milk proteins or food proteins processed by enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation. For example, as such functional peptides, tripeptides VPP and IPP have been reported to have angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and thus exhibit hypotensive effects (Patent Documents 1-4 and Non-Patent Document 1).
[0003] Dipeptide YP, which is a milk-derived functional peptide other than VPP and IPP,...
