BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Theanine is known as an umami component of gyokuro, and is important as a flavor and seasoning component of tea and other foods, and its demand is increasing. On the other hand, it is known that γ-glutamyl derivatives including theanine act as physiologically active substances in animals and plants.

In 8), theanine is considered to be a substance that suppresses the central excitatory action of caffeine, and its usefulness as a bioactive substance is expected.

Conventionally, as a method for producing theanine, extraction from tea leaves such as gyokuro is generally performed. In this case, only 1.5% of theanine accumulates in dried tea leaves, and photosynthesis is not performed in general tea gardens. The fact is that it is hardly accumulated because it is active. Therefore, the extraction method from tea leaves is not industrially practical.

[0006] Under such circumstances, a biosynthesis method using a plant cell or a microorganism has been reported. In the method based on tea cell culture (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-187388), it is problematic that the proliferation rate of the cultured cells is extremely low, which is practically difficult. JP-B-63-28596 discloses a method for synthesizing theanine from glutamic acid in the presence of glutamine synthetase using ATP produced by yeast during fermentation of sugar. However, in this method, the optimum pH of yeast is neutral (8-6), whereas the optimum pH of glutamine synthetase is 10-11, so that it is not easy to combine both reactions. It is pointed out that implementation on an industrial scale is difficult.

That is, the purification of the enzyme is complicated, there is a problem with the stability of the enzyme with respect to pH and temperature, the separation operation of the enzyme and the product after the reaction is complicated, and the production of theanine by a continuous reaction. There are many problems such as difficulty in production.

When the crystals were analyzed by an amino acid analyzer, they showed the same behavior as a standard substance. Further, when the crystals were hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid or glutaminase, glutamic acid and ethylamine were produced at a ratio of 1: 1. This indicates that ethylamine was bonded to the γ-position of glutamic acid. It was also confirmed by glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) that the glutamic acid produced by the hydrolysis was L-type. FIG. 2 shows the 1 H-NMR spectrum of the theanine crystal, and the same spectrum was obtained for both the standard substance and the present crystal.
