Description

Composition is for reducing the purposes of the cholesterol levels of mammal, preparation method, Composition and the method for being used to prepare the food additives comprising the composition

The present invention relates to the compositions according to claim 1 comprising lignan mixture for reducing the blood of mammal The purposes of liquid cholesterol levels.

The group of serum cholesterol level the invention further relates to preparation according to claim 12 for reducing mammal The method for closing object.

Moreover, it relates to the group for including the lignan mixture of the cholesterol levels for reducing mammal Close object.

The invention further relates to preparations according to claim 25 for reducing the serum cholesterol level of mammal Food additives, dietary supplements or dietetic product method.

In food product field, persistently needed for there is the new dietary supplements of advantageous effect to exist human health It asks.The fact that demand is on the one hand due to food product usually from so-called ready-to-eat product, it is many required to lack Nutrient and may extraly include modified fat acid (so-called trans-fatty acid to serum triglyceride level and contains Measurer has unfavorable effect).On the other hand, a large amount of modern diets include food product (meat, milk, butter, cheese based on animal Deng), it includes have unfavorable effect to blood triglyceride content and increase the saturated fats of blood cholesterol levels.

Plant lignan is main diet phytoestrogen source in modern diet.Phytoestrogen has multiple beneficial Health effect；High-caliber lignan can support for example healthy glucose metabolism and reduce insulin sensitivity.When as diet It is also proposed to be used in treatment nonspecific infection and inflammation when replenishers (referring to US 5762935).

However, plant include such low-level lignan so that its health effect in normal meals almost it is micro- not Sufficient road.The lignan content of food is generally relatively low, typically not greater than 2 mg/100 g.

Timber lignan is very abundant in wooden material and bark, therefore is contemplated that with side identical with plant lignan Formula uses these lignans in diet.It has been proposed that timber lignan is used in food based on its antioxidant effect, and Have been found that some scientific and effective anticancers of timber lignan.However, timber lignan and the extract comprising timber lignan lead to Often bitter for dark and aftertaste, this actually prevents it as the purposes of food additives.

Timber lignan is only used for cosmetic field for these reasons, which is based primarily upon its anti-oxidant and anti-micro- life Object acts on.For example, applicant has previously been provided for various cosmetics to enhance the protectant effects of the UV wherein used and peace Some timber lignan mixtures of full property.

Based on the above-mentioned prior art, task is arranged to study the purposes of timber lignan, especially in the present inventor Purposes in diet, for obtaining new healthy food product.

Therefore, main target of the invention is to find the new application of timber lignan.

The second target of the present invention is the new application for finding timber lignan, although some are negative in terms of its color and taste Surface properties.

The third target of the present invention be discovery be used to prepare as food additives and Food grade components based on the wooden phenol The straightforward procedure of the ingredient of element, the ingredient can be added in food product.

These and other target and feature of the present invention will be apparent from following description and claims.

First, the present invention is based on very surprising observation results, that is, when the certain wood for including at least following lignan When phenol element mixture is used as the dietary supplements of mammal, these lignan mixtures have the blood cholesterol levels of highly significant Reducing effect：7- hydroxyls-martairesinol, conidendrin, lariciresinol, liovil and Secoisolariciresinol or its is several What isomers or its stereoisomer.The concentration of lignan mixture should be the 1-50 of the compound as food additives wt %.The preferably 5-50 wt % of the total weight of a concentration of food additives of lignan mixture.

Due to its considerable blood cholesterol levels reducing effect, timber lignan mixture can be used with relatively small amount； Normal daily diet part of lignan mixture is 30-50 mg.Include 1-5% lignan mixtures when lignan mixture is used as Alcohol-wood extractive or alcohol-water-wood extractive in use, it is positively retained at down to 5-10 drops per consumption per day.

The present invention is very astonishing, because timber lignan combination is not known to have any blood cholesterol levels effect simultaneously And due to compared with known plant lignan the effect be unapproachable；The daily diet of most mankind includes plant wood phenol Element has property similar with timber lignan, such as antioxidant properties.However, the level of lignan is in edible plant It is usually very low in object, therefore its possible beneficial cholesterol lowering effect not yet occurs, and plant lignan is in food Suggestion in additive uses horizontal also relatively high.

Second, the present invention is based on following facts：Lignan, the tannins for including in phenolic compound, such as wooden material It is extracted from timber with flavonoids Extraction medium, original sample is suitable for various food products.Extraction medium can be extraction solution or Subcritical or means of supercritical extraction fluid, such as CO₂.In the previous practice in this field, lignan, tannins and flavonoids are being incited somebody to action It is used to before food industry purify.
