The antiobestic food is capable of exerting extremely excellent preventive effect on obesity or weight gain by the synergism of alpha-cyclodextrin and gamma-linolenic acid.

Description

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 been used as materials for food since ancient times.

It has recently been announced that α-cyclodextrin, which is one of cyclodextrins, may be used as a material for slimming foods.

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

Further, a slimming food has been developed which is based on the combined use of α-cyclodextrin and γ-linolenic acid to exert a remarkably excellent effect of preventing obesity or weight gain due to their synergistic effect. (Japanese Patent Publication Sho 62
-44905).

The inventor of the present invention has been continuing research on slimming foods, and particularly on slimming foods composed of α-cyclodextrin and γ-linolenic acid. In this research, a new idea that a more excellent slimming effect may be obtained by adding a third component to the above two components has been reached.

[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.

In order to solve the above problems, the present inventor has
Continued diligent research, continued experimental research on various food additives, and finally, when a specific component is further added as the third component, the synergistic action of these three causes a remarkable slimming effect. I found it 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 effect of preventing obesity is significantly increased by the synergistic action of these three members. 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 white with 100 parts by weight of the above dextrin. 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 the same such as evening primrose oil may be used.

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 effect or weight-gain preventing effect. This synergistic action 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 well known and is a kind of chlorophyll and a kind of pyrrole compound. Chlorophyll includes a, b, c, d, e and bacteriochlorophyll and bacteriopyridine. In the present invention, a mixture of at least one of the above-mentioned compounds generally called chlorophyll is effectively used.

Further, as the chlorophyll, a chlorophyll protein called a chlorophyll protein in which chlorophyll and a protein are bound can be used.

Tochu leaf extract used in the present invention,
Also, spore-shaped lactic acid bacterium itself is a well-known food additive, and any of those conventionally used can be used in the present invention.

Particularly in the present invention, chlorophyll has a great effect on the promotion of the above synergistic effect.

The amounts of chlorophyll, Tochu leaf extract, and spore-like 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 food or food additive may contain the above three components, or may be molded into a suitable shape, such as tablets, pills, or granules, together with various known additives as necessary. You may. In this case, various food additives can be used, and specific examples include wheat flour, dietary fiber, soybean powder, lactose, glucose, starch and the like.

Experimental examples and practical examples of the present invention are shown below.

[Experimental example] Adult healthy girl (age 21-25) 15
The following panel tests were conducted with the name as a panelist. That is, the panelists were divided into 5 groups of 5 people each, and the following composition was ingested three times a day (morning, noon, and evening) at a rate of 0.015 g / kg, and a regular constant meal was ingested in a fixed amount. I was asked to examine the change after 60 days. The change was carried out for four items of hip circumference, thigh circumference, body weight, and appearance, and the average value of each group was shown. The evaluation was based on each item before the composition was ingested, and when it was larger than that, it was represented by +, and when it was smaller, it was represented by −. The results are shown in Table 1. However, Table 1
Group 6 of is a control.
