γ-aminobutyric acid is a compound whose chemical formula is C4H9NO2, also known as 4-aminobutyric acid. It is an amino acid that widely exists in vertebrates, plants and microorganisms. γ-aminobutyric acid is an important central nervous system inhibitory neurotransmitter, which has good water solubility and thermal stability. It has been confirmed that GABA, as a small molecular weight non-protein amino acid, is safe to eat and can be used in the production of beverages and other foods. Studies have shown that intake of a certain amount of GABA has physiological effects such as improving sleep quality and lowering blood pressure.
The content of GABA in plant tissues is extremely low, usually between 0.3 and 32.5 μmol/g. It has been reported in the literature that the enrichment of GABA in plants is related to the stress response experienced by plants. When subjected to stress such as hypoxia, heat shock, cold shock, mechanical damage, and salt stress, it will lead to rapid accumulation of GABA. It has become a research hotspot to process plant food raw materials into GABA-rich functional products after being treated with certain stress methods or through microbial fermentation to increase the GABA content in the body. As a new functional factor, GABA has been widely used in the field of food industry. Foods developed from ingredients such as GABA-rich germinated brown rice, soybeans, and broad beans are already on the market.
