(57) [Summary] [Structure] The content of lignan glycosides in seeds is increased by humidifying or germinating sesame seeds, and the pulverized product or defatted cake is extracted with hydrous alcohol to produce lignan glycosides. To do. Further, an enzyme agent having a lignan glycoside hydrolysis activity prepared from sesame seeds is allowed to act on the hydrous alcohol extract to produce lignans. [Effects] Lignan glycosides such as sesaminol glycosides, especially water-soluble lignan glycosides, are increased by humidifying and culturing sesame seeds, and lignan glycosides can be produced easily and in large quantities as compared with conventional methods. be able to. In addition, by using this as a raw material and reacting a lignan glycoside hydrolase agent prepared from sesame seeds, it is possible to produce oil-soluble lignans containing sesaminol as a main component in a large amount and at a lower cost than in the conventional method. . |
