<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a food product dealing with I-type allergy by including a mixture of fucoidan powder and powder of Kuchocha extract (a tea drink product obtained by decocting the whole dried grass of Corydalis bungeana Turcz belonging to the family Papaveraceae). <P>SOLUTION: The food product contains the mixture of fucoidan powder and Kuchocha extract powder. Prior to develop the food product, the efficacy of the mixture is tested as follows. A test sample is prepared by formulating fucoidan powder and Kuchocha powder in the weight ratio of (1:1). In a mouse administration test, assuming that the IgE production for a control group is 100, a pre-administration group and a post-administration group give IgE productions of 77.1 and 51.8, respectively, indicating suppression of the IgE production. The PCA (passive cutaneous anaphylavis) reaction suppression rate for the control group is also lowered. In a human volunteer test, there are no aggravations of the pollinoses of the eyes, nose and throat, the efficacy rates for the symptoms for the eyes, nose and throat are 85.3%, 90.6% and 83.6%, respectively. There are many subjects who are conscious of ameliorating the symptoms within about one hour for the eyes and nose, thus demonstrating the quick efficacy of the tested samples. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
