PURPOSE: Functional bread, cookie, pie, cake and dessert are provided to prevent hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia by adding chitin, chitosan, chitin/chitosan derivatives or chitin/chitosan oligosaccharides to the confectionery. CONSTITUTION: Functional bread, cookie, pie, cake and dessert contains 0.0001-20wt.% of chitin, chitosan, chitin/chitosan derivatives or chitin/chitosan oligosaccharides, based on the total weight of the confectionery. The chitin, chitosan, and chitin/chitosan derivatives have a molecular weight of 10,000-1,000,000, and the chitin/chitosan oligosaccharides have a molecular weight of lower than 10,000. Chitin and chitosan have little toxicity, eliminate bacteria in the intestines, and have anticancer and antibacterial properties with the effect of lowering cholesterol and controlling high blood pressure.
