Disclosed is an antioxidant which can exhibit a higher antioxidant ability than known antioxidative peptides. The antioxidant according to the present invention comprises mimosine and/or a mimosine-containing pcptide(s). The mimosine-containing peptide is a peptide which comprises at least one mimosine residue in its amino acid sequence. Mimosine has stronger antioxidant potency than known antioxidative tripeptides even when used as it is alone, and therefore is useful as an antioxidant. In addition, the antioxidant action of a peptide can be increased by introducing mimosine thereinto, thereby obtaining a peptide with higher antioxidant potency than the original one.
本发明公开了一种抗氧化剂,其抗氧化能力高于已知的抗氧化肽。根据本发明,抗氧化剂由含羞草碱和/或含羞草碱的肽组成。含亚胺嘧啶的肽是在其氨基酸序列中包含至少一个亚胺嘧啶残基的肽。即使单独使用,含羞草苷的抗氧化效力也强于已知的抗氧化三肽,因此可用作抗氧化剂。此外,通过在肽中引入亚胺嘧啶,可以增强肽的抗氧化作用,从而获得抗氧化能力高于原肽的肽。
