Embodiment 1

[0049] 1. Production process of citrus pectin (acid hydrolysis method to extract citrus pectin):

[0050] First dry citrus peels are rinsed to remove impurities, soaked and drained, and then crushed into small particles of 2-4mm, then dilute hydrochloric acid (concentration is 1%, composed of 31% food) with 10 times the weight of dry citrus peels Grade hydrochloric acid diluted with water) was catalyzed and stirred at 90±2°C for 2 hours to extract pectin. Filter through a plate frame to obtain the filtrate. After the filtrate is neutralized to pH=5 with 4M sodium hydroxide solution (prepared by food-grade sodium hydroxide), it is concentrated under reduced pressure (the vacuum degree is 660 millimeters of mercury, and the temperature is 50 ± 2 ° C, and the concentration ratio is 4: 1). The concentrated solution was precipitated with 96% food-grade ethanol (the concentration of ethanol was 2:1), filtered through a plate frame, and the precipitate was obtained. The precipitat...

Embodiment 2

[0055] The low-molecular-weight citrus pectin obtained in Example 1 is used as a food additive and added to daily food to prepare food containing low-molecular-weight citrus pectin.

Embodiment 3

[0057] The low-molecular-weight citrus pectin obtained in Example 1 is added with conventional auxiliary materials to be taken in the form of oral liquid, capsules, tablets and other health care products.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel application of low molecular weight citrus pectin, particularly to its application in pharmaceutics, food and healthcare products. The low molecular weight citrus pectin has apparently smaller molecular weight than natural pectin and its molecular structure is improved for the reduce of methyl which makes it easy to be absorbed by intestinal canal and enter blood circulation. The citrus pectin can apparently improve appetite, strengthen immunity function, modulate immunity turbulence, reduce cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis. After entering into the blood circulation, it can help people get rid of poisonous heavy metals. Therefore, the low molecular weight citrus pectin is used to prepare medicine, food and healthcare products, which can reinforce immunity functions.

Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the present invention relates to a new application of low-molecular-weight citrus pectin, in particular to the application of low-molecular-weight citrus pectin in pharmaceuticals, food and health care products. Background technique [0002] Natural citrus pectin is a polysaccharide complex (long-chain carbohydrate) and a dietary fiber. It is obtained from the peel and pulp of natural citrus fruits such as lemons, grapefruits, oranges and tangerines. The long-chain product of this polysaccharide has many branches and has a strong adhesion function. Natural pectin is a soluble fiber that cannot be absorbed by the intestine after consumption. Although some ferment in the large intestine, natural citrus pectin is not very effective for the human body. [0003] Low molecular weight citrus pectin structure diagram: [0004] [0005] Low-molecular citrus pectin is a polysaccharide extracted from natural pectin p...
