The invention is a composition consisting essentially of a component from barley which has been subjected to alcohol fermentation using Aspergillus kawachii and which is a residue from a distillation of distilled spirits of the barley and wherein the component from barley is a fraction produced by ion exchange treatment using an aromatic series or methacryl series wherein the component from barley is separated into a solid fraction and a liquid fraction and wherein the liquid fraction is separated out by the ion exchange treatment and wherein the liquid fraction contains the component from barley which decreases a serum uric acid level and wherein the liquid fraction contains crude proteins at 40-60% by weight, polyphenols at 7-12% by weight, polysaccharides at 5-10% by weight, and organic acids at 4-10% by weight.
