AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing literature does not disclose the antioxidant activity of ergosterol analogs.
Method used
The discovery of ergosterol analogs, particularly dehydroergosterol compounds, which exhibit antioxidant activity by supplying electrons to free radicals and stabilizing them, thereby preventing cellular damage.
Benefits of technology
Ergosterol analogs effectively suppress free radical activity and oxidation of coexisting substances, demonstrating antioxidant and reducing capabilities comparable to α-tocopherol.

Abstract
Providing antioxidant compositions. [Solution] The present invention provides an antioxidant composition comprising an ergosterol analog or a koji mold fermentation product containing an ergosterol analog. The ergosterol analog is preferably a compound in an oxidized form of ergosterol. The ergosterol analog is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of dehydroergosterol, 14-dehydroergosterol, 14,15-dehydroergosterol, and 24(28)-dehydroergosterol.
