In 1860, during the German Empire, a reduced meat extract was commercially available as a base for instant soup under the trade name Liebig Meat Extract. In 1900, Dalewich, a chemist in imperial Russia, analyzed Liebig's meat extract and discovered a basic compound, which he named carnosine. 2.8%). Later, it was identified that carnosine is a peptide consisting of β-alanine and L-histidine, and its synthesis became possible. Nowadays, L-histidine can be supplied in large quantities by fermentation, so L-carnosine can be supplied synthetically without relying on extraction from animal matter. L-carnosine is a physiological substance that is contained in the skeletal muscles of mammals at 0.1-0.2%, and in eel, which is a favorite food of our people, it is 0.5%.
is also included. Since the discovery of L-carnosine, more than 550 articles have been published on the physiological and biochemical significance of the physiological substances contained in skeletal muscle in such large quantities, and their usefulness as drugs. Although research papers have been published, no findings have been made regarding its physiological, biochemical significance, or pharmacological properties.

As mentioned above, the present inventors have elucidated the pharmacological usefulness of carnosine, which has an unprecedented natural healing promoting function, but to date there are no functional foods containing carnosine as an essential ingredient. I haven't. The inventors have discovered that L-
Carnosine is an extremely harmless physiological peptide that humans consume in large quantities from animal foods on a daily basis as a source of the essential amino acid, histidine.
Focusing on its pharmacological action to promote natural healing and excellent clinical effects, the inventors came up with the idea of applying L-carnosine to foods. The present inventors have completed the present invention by creating a functional food containing L-carnosine, and confirming that it exerts an excellent biological function regulating effect when ingested on a daily basis.

HC=C-HC2CHCOOH The aqueous solution has a pH of 8.0-8.5. L-carnosine is present in various mammals, mainly in skeletal muscles, at a concentration of approximately 0.1 to 0.
It is a substance that contains 2% of the amino acids, is ingested from meat as a daily food, and is biosynthesized from the essential amino acids - histidine and β-alanine. Ingested lunosine is broken down into L-histidine and β-alanine by the absorption mechanism lunosinase, L-histidine becomes a nutrient, β-alanine is rapidly metabolized and excreted, and a portion is resynthesized into L-carnosine. β-alanyl-1-methyl-histidine (Anseri
ne)]. As mentioned above, L-carnosine is a highly safe substance that is similar to food, and after being absorbed, it is broken down by carnosinase present in various organs, so many pharmaceuticals are metabolized in the liver and place a burden on liver function. It is a completely different substance from that.
