降血脂功能食品研究进展

Research Progress on Hypolipidemic Nutraceuticals and Fuctional Foods

随着生活水平的不断改善,高脂饮食摄入不断增加,体内脂质代谢平衡被打破,是目前高脂血症患者数量急剧增加的原因之一。具有辅助降血脂功能的食品种类繁多,按其主要功能因子分为多糖类、膳食纤维、维生素、皂苷及甾体类、生物碱类、蛋白、多肽、氨基酸、黄酮类、酚类、不饱和脂肪酸等。本文主要从降低胆固醇、降低甘油三酯和抗氧化剂三方面介绍降脂功能食品的研究与开发,为降脂功能食品相关研究人员提供参考。

With the continuous improvement of living standards,increasing intake of high fat and the breakage of lipid metabolic balance in the body have become one of the reasons that lead to the rapid increase of hyperlipidemia.Thus,hypolipidemic functional foods have become of increasing concern.A wide variety of such foods have been developed,which can be classified by main functional ingredients as polysaccharides,dietary fiber,vitamins,saponins,steroids,alkaloids,proteins and peptides,amino acids,flavonoids,phenols,un-saturated fatty acids,and so on.This paper is intended to review the current progress in the research and development of functional foods with blood lipid lowering,triglyceride reducing or antioxidant properties,with the purpose to provide reference for future study of hypolipidemic nutraceuticals and foods.
