[Objective]

Since dozens of plant ingredients are fermented by lactic acid bacteria, it can be predicted that numerous fermented metabolic components (postbiotics) will be present in the fermented extract of OM-X. We performed metabolome analysis in order to comprehensively analyze these metabolic components.

[Methods]

Metabolome analysis allows to comprehensively analyze water-soluble and fat-soluble low-molecular-weight components through a combination of different methods. Using this method, we detected a variety of nutritional components present in OM-X.

[Results]

Exceeding our expectations, more than 400 metabolic components were found in OM-X. Amino acids, peptides, organic acids, neurotransmitters, phytosterols, and omega-3 were also included. These components are produced through prolonged fermentation and maturation. They are expected to be effective when absorbed by the body.
