METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CHITOSAN CONTAINING SALT HAVING A FUNCTION OF LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing a chitosancontaining salt having the function of lowering blood pressure. The method comprises the steps of: (a) dissolving an acid-soluble chitosan in organic acid, or dissolving a water-soluble chitosan derivative in water, to prepare a chitosan solution; (b) spraying the chitosan solution on salt particles to bind the chitosan to the salt particles; and (c) drying the chitosan-bound salt particles. According to the present invention, the chitosan or its derivative is bound to the salt particles by spraying or mixing such that the chitosan-containing salt can be produced without performing a recrystallizing step. Thus, the production cost of the chitosan-containing salt can be significantly decreased.
