In the experiment, a research team from Kyoto University in Japan found that one of the commonly used ingredients in Japanese cuisine, Perilla frutescens, contains effective ingredients to inhibit active oxygen and prevent aging Perilla belongs to the genus perilla of Labiatae, which is an annual herb widely distributed in Asia In Japan, the green purple perilla on both sides of the leaves often appears in Japanese cuisine, which is used as auxiliary materials in the production of sashimi and tempura The team analyzed the ingredients of 12 fruits and vegetables, including Perilla frutescens, peaches and apples, and found that Perilla frutescens contained a polyphenol named "DDC", which can inhibit the active oxygen When this component was added to the experimental mouse cells, the antioxidant enzymes increased significantly In addition, the team confirmed that chemically synthesized DDC also had the same effect "The DDC content of each piece of Perilla frutescens is very limited, and there is no effect if you don't eat several kilograms of leaves every day, so it's necessary to extract the ingredients and make them into dietary supplements," said Jiu miliming, the research director The results will be published in the American Journal of free radical biology and medicine.
