COMPOSITION AND FORMULATION CONTAINING CHITOSAN

摘要

A composition containing chitosan and N-acetyl-L-cysteine is provided to promote cholesterol-reducing effects of chitosan and reactive oxygen-removing effects of N-acetyl-L-cysteine by increasing enteric disintegration and bioavailability of chitosan and N-acetyl-L-cysteine. The composition contains 5-97 wt.% of chitosan having 50-90% deacetylation and molecular weight of 1,000-5,000,000 dalton and 3-95 wt.% of N-acetyl-L-cysteine having 82-88% deacetylation and molecular weight of 2,500-530,000 dalton, wherein the N-acetyl-L-cysteine is contained together with acetate or ascorbic acid. The food contains the composition containing chitosan and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.
