食品原料透明质酸的国内外管理及应用

Management and use of food ingredient hyaluronic acid at home and abroad

透明质酸(HA)作为广泛存在于人体的天然物质,具备多种生理调节作用,常以结构更稳定的钠盐形式存在,即透明质酸钠(SH)。目前HA在国外食品领域已得到了广泛应用,日本、美国、欧盟等多个国家/地区允许在普通食品中添加HA;韩国批准HA添加至健康食品和饮料中。中国于2008年批准HA(SH形式)作为保健食品原料,2020年12月将其使用范围扩大至普通食品。本文对作为食品原料的HA的产品特点、口服功效及其在国内外的管理批准情况、适用范围、功能声称、安全限量及生产工艺进行概述,了解其适用性和潜在市场需求。同时对相关法规管理及批准使用现状进行梳理分析,以期为HA相关食品的研发、监管、消费等提供系统参考,促进食品行业对HA的合理利用和发展。

Hyaluronic acid(HA),a natural substance widely present in the human body,exhibits diverse physiological regulatory effects and is often found in the structurally stable form known as sodium hyaluronate(SH).HA finds extensive use in the food industry.Many countries and regions,including Japan,the United States,and the European Union,permit the use of HA in common foods.In contrast,Korea allows HA only in healthy foods and beverages.In China,approval for HA(in the SH form)as a health food ingredient was granted in 2008,and its usage was expanded to general food in December 2020.This study provides an overview of the characteristics of the product,its oral efficacy,regulatory categories,production processes,scope of application,safety limits,and approved functional claims both domestically and internationally.The goal is to explore its applicability and potential market demand.Simultaneously,the status of relevant regulations and approved uses are organized and analyzed to offer a systematic reference for the research and development,regulation,and consumption of HA-related food products.The aim is to promote the rational use and development of HA in the food industry.
