COMPOSITION FOR PROMOTING TISSUE DIFFERENTIATION, AND COMPOSITION FOR IMPROVING LIVER FUNCTION

To provide a composition having excellent tissue differentiation promoting effect, body fat-decomposing promoting effect, skin quality improving effect, and liver function improving effect.SOLUTION: A composition of the present invention contains tectorigenin and tectorigenin glucoside at the amount of 1:10 or more of a mass ratio. It is preferable that the tectorigenin glucoside contains glucoside in which one sugar bonds to tectorigenin and glucoside in which two sugars bond to tectorigenin, and a mass ratio between the former and the latter is 1:0.01 or more and 7.5 or less. It is also preferable that the glucoside in which one sugar bonds to tectorigenin is tectoridin, and the glucoside in which two sugars bond to tectorigenin is tectorigenin-7-O-xylosylglucoside.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】優れた組織分化促進作用や体脂肪分解促進作用、肌質改善作用、肝機能改善作用を有する組成物を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明の組成物は、テクトリゲニン及びテクトリゲニン配糖体を、質量比で１：１０以上の量で含む。前記テクトリゲニン配糖体が、テクトリゲニンに糖が１個結合した配糖体及びテクトリゲニンに糖が２個結合した配糖体を含み、前者と後者の質量比が１：０．０１以上７．５以下であることが好ましい。テクトリゲニンに糖が１個結合した配糖体がテクトリジンであり、テクトリゲニンに糖が２個結合した配糖体がテクトリゲニン－７－Ｏ－キシロシルグルコシドであることも好ましい。【選択図】図１
