Title:
FERMENTED MILK FOR INCREASING IGA THAT CROSS-BINDS WITH HUMAN CORONAVIRUS IN HUMAN SALIVA, AND FOOD COMPOSITION CONTAINING SAID FERMENTED MILK AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/080289
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a preventive measure against human coronavirus infection other than handwashing and gargling. Fermented milk according to the present invention is prepared using lactic acid bacteria that produce exopolysaccharides, and functions to increase IgA that cross-binds with human coronavirus in human saliva. The lactic acid bacteria are preferably of the family Lactobacillaceae, more preferably of the genus Lactobacillus, and even more preferably are Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, in particular Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus OLL1073R-1 (FERM BP-10741).
