Abstract
The present invention provides a superoxide scavenger comprising a desirable material which is different from any conventional unstable superoxide dismutase and is available at a low cost, and the present invention also provides a beverage containing such a superoxide scavenger. The superoxide scavenger and beverage of the present invention comprise a composition extracted from a specific liquid. This specific liquid is prepared by: boiling a grain with a liquid to obtain a grain liquor; cooling the obtained grain liquor; adding a yeast into the cooled grain liquor; leaving the grain liquor with the yeast while supplying oxygen thereto; and sterilizing the resulting liquid by heating to obtain the specific liquid.
