<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fucoidan-based health food aiming at broadly utilizing excellent functions of a fucoidan-type conjugated polysaccharide extracted from wakame sprouts as a biophylaxis accelerating agent and an immunopotentiator for human health maintenance by finding out conditions for utilization as a mixture. <P>SOLUTION: The fucoidan-based health food is produced by formulating a mixture comprising 1-90 wt.% of a fucoidan fraction obtained by extraction/ fractionation of Wakame spouts, and a fucoidan fraction obtained by extraction/fractionation of Okinawa Futomozuku as a remaining part of the mixture. The food inhibits hyperglycemia and has an effect to keep blood glucose at lower level. The preferable formulation of the food is such that a mixture comprising 15-35 mass% of the fucoidan fraction produced by extraction/fractionation of Wakame spouts and 85-65 mass% of the fcoidann fraction produced by extraction/fractionation of Okinawa Futomozuku, with 10-20 mass% of Agaricus powder based on the whole of the mixture. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
