METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMANNURONATE, NOVEL USE THEREOF AS IMPROVING AGENT OF SERUM LIPID, AND FUNCTIONAL FOOD AND HEALTH FOOD SUPPLEMENT CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: Provided are a method for manufacturing low molecular weight polymannuronate, novel use thereof as an improving agent of serum lipid, and a functional food and health food supplement containing the same. CONSTITUTION: Low molecular weight polymannuronate is characterized by average molecular weight of 10000-100000Da. The polymannuronate suppresses obesity, decreases the activity of GOT and GPT in serum, and reduces the content of cholesterol, phospholipid and low density lipoprotein, while increasing the content of high density lipoprotein.
