| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Leucine-dipeptides were paid attention to study their functionalities and develop their industrial applications. Of 19 Leucine-dipeptides tested in this study, dipeptides containing Alanine, Arginine, or Lysine showed high antioxidative activities. In addition, Maillard reaction products generated from Leucine-dipeptides containing Arginine or Lysine increased their activities significantly. Orally administrated these materials with high activities decreased oxidative stress in animal bodies. Leucine-dipeptides, such as Leucine-Lysine and Lysine-Leucine would contribute to the prevention of atrophy of skeletal muscle associated with aging. From the results of this study along with previous observations, Leucine-dipeptides and their Maillard reaction products have important roles in meat and great possibility in the food industry.
