PURPOSE: To provide a lipid peroxide production-inhibiting agent exhibiting a strong inhibiting action in a small amount by containing a specific flavonoid or a plant extract containing the same. n CONSTITUTION: A lipid peroxide production-inhibiting agent contains a flavonoid selected from morin, chrysin, woogonin, rhoifolin, hesperetin, neohesperidin, biochanin, phellamurin and kaemferol or a plant extract containing the flavonoid. The agent is used after compounded with cosmetics or processed foods and is useful as an antioxidant for products containing various lipids or as a stabilizer for the lipids. The agent can be expected to inhibit the production of lipid peroxides in living bodies to contribute to the prevention of aging. n COPYRIGHT: (C)1991,JPO&Japio |
