HEALTH FOOD COMPRISING CONCENTRATED GUAVA LEAF EXTRACT AND CEREAL OR THE LIKE MIXED TOGETHER AND HAVING IMPROVED FLAVOR

摘要

The object is to achieve the easy and smooth ingestion of a proper quantity of a guava leaf extract ingredient in the form of a cereal-based health food. A concentrated guava leaf extract that is so modified as to have a content of a water-soluble guava-leaf-extracted polyphenol component of at least 70% is mixed with a granular or powdery cereal, and the resulting mixture is cooked. The concentrated guava leaf extract is mixed with the cereal in such an amount that 70 to 150 mg of a guava leaf polyphenol having a digestive enzyme-inhibiting effect is contained relative to 100 g of the cereal.
