Provided are a fermentation product, which shows a strong antioxidative
effect and is efficacious against diseases caused by active oxygen, and a
method of producing the same. Stems and leaves of a perennial gramineous
plant (rice straw, reed, barely straw, etc.) are mixed with a
fermentation medium which comprises egg albumen, egg yolk, rice bran and
water optionally together with xylase and thus the stems and leaves of
the perennial gramineous plant are decomposed. After conducting lactic
acid fermentation, the contents of the fermentation tank are dried. The
dry fermentation product thus obtained is extracted with water and the
extract is filtered and then concentrated.
