Substance having physiological property, method for producing the same and uses thereof
A glucoside containing isomaltol represented by formula (I): (wherein Sug represents a glucose residue or a sugar linkage composed of two or more glucose units) as an aglycon, a physiologically active substance containing the glucoside having human cytokine inducing ability increasing activity, a method for producing it, and food, medicine and feedstuff containing the substance.
1. A method for producing a glucoside, having a physiological activity, represented by formula (I):
wherein Sug represents a glucose residue or a sugar linkage composed of two or more glucose units, comprising reacting a culture solution obtained by culturing a basidiomycete with a reaction mixture obtained by reaction between a rice bran extracts solution and an enzyme.
2. A method for producing a glucoside, having a physiological activity, represented by formula (I):
wherein Sug represents a glucose residue or a sugar linkage composed of two or more glucose units, comprising reacting a culture solution obtained by culturing a basidiomycete with a reaction mixture obtained by reaction between a rice bran extracts solution and an enzyme, and isolating the glucoside by column chromatography using as an index a component showing (1) a peak attributable to methyl hydrogen of methyl ketone by 1 H-NMR spectrum and a peak attributable to hydrogen atoms at the 4,5-positions of a 2,3-di-substituted furan ring characteristic of AB system, and (2) 6 peaks attributable to glucopyranose and 6 peaks attributable to isomaltol by 13 C-NMR.
