Novel protein material

Abstract

The invention relates to a protein material includes angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate in an amount of 2 to 15 mg/100 mg, and lactoperoxidase and/or lactoperoxidase hydrolysate, in the mass ratio to angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate of 0.3 to 20.

1 . A protein material comprising angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate in an amount of 2 to 15 mg/100 mg and lactoperoxidase and/or lactoperoxidase hydrolysate in the mass ratio to the angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate of 0.3 to 20. 
     
     
         2 . A food, drink, or feed comprising the protein material according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         3 . A bone-strengthening agent comprising the protein material according to  claim 1  as an active ingredient. 
     
     
         4 . A method of strengthening bones comprising administering the protein material according to  claim 1  in an amount of 5 mg/day or more. 
     
     
         5 . A method of preparing the protein material according to  claim 1 , comprising following steps 1) to 3):
 1) preparing angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate;   2) preparing lactoperoxidase and/or lactoperoxidase hydrolysate; and   3) mixing the lactoperoxidase and/or lactoperoxidase hydrolysate according to above 2) and the angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate according to above 1) in the mass ratio to the angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate of 0.3 to 20.   
     
     
         6 . A method of preparing the protein material according to  claim 1 , comprising a step of extracting a fraction containing angiogenin and/or angiogenin hydrolysate and lactoperoxidase and/or lactoperoxidase hydrolysate from milk and/or a material derived from milk in the mass ratio to the angiogenin and/or the angiogenin hydrolysate of 0.3 to 20. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , further comprising another step of enzymatically degrading the angiogenin and/or the lactoperoxidase contained in the fraction.
