Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a slimming food.

[0002]

Cyclodextrins include three types of compounds, α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin. These cyclodextrins have long been used as food materials.

Recently, it has been announced that α-cyclodextrin, a kind of cyclodextrin, may be used as a material for slimming foods.

[0004] On the other hand, γ-linolenic acid is known as a substance having fat metabolism, and is known as a substance suitable for maintaining health.

[0005] Further, a slimming food has been developed based on the combination of α-cyclodextrin and γ-linolenic acid, which exerts a synergistically excellent effect of preventing obesity or weight gain. (Sho 62
-44905).

The inventor of the present invention has been conducting research on slimming foods, particularly on slimming foods composed of α-cyclodextrin and γ-linolenic acid. This study led to a new idea that the addition of a third component to these two components may provide even better slimming effects.

[0007]

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a slimming food containing α-cyclodextrin and γ-linolenic acid as main components, and a new slimming product having a further excellent slimming action. To develop food.

[0008] The present inventor has sought to solve the above problems.
Further research is continued, experimental research is continued on various food additives, and when a certain component is finally further compounded as a third component, the synergistic action of these three components results in a remarkable slimming effect. Found to rise.

[0009]

According to the research conducted by the present inventors, when a saponin is further added to α-cyclodextrin and γ-linolenic acid, the synergistic action of these three factors significantly increases the obesity-preventing effect. It was found that

[0010]

The slimming food of the present invention comprises α-cyclodextrin, γ-linolenic acid and saponin, preferably 0.5 to 50 parts by weight of γ-linolenic acid and 100 parts by weight of dextrin and white. Ginseng 0.3 to 6 parts by weight, particularly preferably 1 to 10 parts by weight of linolenic acid and saponin 0.5 to 3.5 parts by weight are contained.

As the α-cyclodextrin used in the present invention, any conventionally known one can be used. This α-cyclodextrin may be used alone, or a material containing it may be used.

The γ-linolenic acid used in the present invention may be used alone, or a component or substance containing it, such as evening primrose oil.

As the saponins used in the present invention, those conventionally known as saponins are used, and those generally referred to as saponins in a group of glycosides normally distributed in plants are included. Soybean saponin is particularly preferable.

In the present invention, the above-mentioned three kinds of components are used in combination, and the synergistic action of these three components exerts a remarkably excellent obesity-preventing or weight-gain-preventing effect. This synergistic effect is particularly 0.5 to 50 parts by weight of γ-linolenic acid, particularly preferably 1 to 40 parts by weight, and saponin 0.3 to 6 parts by weight, particularly preferably 0.5 to 3 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of α-cyclodextrin. Delivered at a rate of 0.5 parts by weight.

In the present invention, when chlorophyll, eucommia leaf extract, spore-shaped lactic acid bacterium, or one or more active peptides are blended, the synergistic action due to the addition of the saponin is further improved. You can

Chlorophyll itself is a well-known substance and is a kind of chlorophyll and a kind of pyrrole compound. Chlorophyll includes a, b, c, d, e, bacteriochlorophyll, and bacteriopyridine. In the present invention, a mixture of at least one of the above compounds, which is generally called chlorophyll, is effectively used.

Further, as chlorophyll, a chlorophyll protein, which is referred to as chlorophyll protein, which is combined with chlorophyll can also be used.

The eucalypt extract used in the present invention,
In addition, sporulated lactic acid bacteria themselves are also well-known food additives, and any of those conventionally used in the present invention is used.

In particular, in the present invention, chlorophyll has a great effect on the enhancement of the synergism.

The amounts of chlorophyll, Tochu leaf extract, and sporulated lactic acid bacteria used are α-cyclodextrin 1
It is usually 0 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 3 parts by weight, based on 00 parts by weight.

In the present invention, the above-mentioned three components may be contained in food or food additives, or may be formed into appropriate shapes such as tablets, pills and granules together with various known additives as required. You may. In this case, various food additives can be used, and specific examples thereof include flour, dietary fiber, soybean powder, lactose, glucose, starch and the like.

Hereinafter, an experimental example and a specific example of the present invention will be described.

[0023]

[Experimental example] Adult healthy women (age 21-25) 30
The following panel tests were conducted with the name as a panelist. That is, the panelists are divided into 6 groups of 5 persons each, and the following composition is inoculated three times a day (morning, noon, and evening) at a rate of 0.015 g / kg, and a regular constant meal is consumed in a fixed amount. I was asked to examine the change after 60 days. The changes were carried out for four items of hip circumference, thigh circumference, body weight, and appearance, and shown as the average value of each group. The evaluation was based on each item before the ingestion of the composition, and when it was larger than that, it was represented by +, and when it was smaller, it was represented by −. Table 1 shows the results. However, Table 1
Group 6 of is a control.
