Benefits of technology

[0015]The composition according to the present invention improves blood cholesterol level, triglyceride and blood sugar level, thereby contributing to health promotion.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hands, in recent years, metabolic syndrome has become a significant public health issue particularly among people of middle and advanced age, and food and drugs for improving the syndrome have been demanded.
Further, proteins of soybean germ have little been studied.
However, there still are different opinions among researchers about the efficacy of isoflavone inclusive of its metabolites, so that no clear conclusion has been provided.
In addition, soybean germ abundantly contains antinutrients such as saponin and allergens, so that its excessive ingestion causes an allergy, growth inhibition or the like.
Soybean germ further has a bad flavor.
Therefore, it is believed to be unsuitable for uses in foods, beverages, and medicines.

example 1

[0061]High fat diets were fed to rats. The concentrations of various physiological substances in the blood were compared among rats fed with casein, with soybean protein concentrate (hereinafter abbreviated as SPC) as other common soybean protein or with the soybean germ protein of Test Example 3 (hereinafter abbreviated as germ protein).

[0062]Three diets prepared were: 1. casein diet, 2. SPC diet and 3. germ protein diet. The compositions of these diets are summarized in Table 1.

[0063]The germ protein was in the form of powder.

[0064]CD (SD) IGS male rats aged nine weeks were placed in individual cages, and preliminarily bred with a purified diet (AIN93G) for one week. Before starting the main test, the rats were grouped into three divisions each containing eight rats such that the divisions have an equal average body weight. The rats of the respective divisions were fed with 1. casein diet (control), 2. SPC diet containing SPC in place of casein, or 3. germ protein diet containing ...

example 2

[0076]Baked confectionery was made using the soybean germ proteins of Test Examples 1, 2, and 3 as soybean protein materials. As a comparative example, commercial separated soybean protein was used in place of the soybean germ proteins. The ingredients are as follows.

Weak flour130 gButter100 gSoybean protein material100 gSugar 80 gEgg1Vanilla essencefew drops

[0077]An appropriate amount of milk was added to and mixed with the above ingredients. The dough was preserved at 4° C. for 2 hours, shaped into disks having a diameter of about 3 cm, and baked in an oven at 170° C. for about 12 minutes to make cookies. The cookies were tasted, and evaluated by sensory test by ten panelists. As a result of the sensory test, the cookies made of the soybean germ protein were more fragrant and crisp than those made of the separated soybean protein, and thus achieved higher scores in terms of flavor, texture, and taste.

Abstract

The present invention is intended to provide a composition for preventing or improving metabolic syndrome, which is safe and efficiently ingestible. Provided is a composition for reducing blood cholesterol level, improving blood HDL / LDL cholesterol ratio, reducing blood triglyceride level, reducing blood sugar level, controlling increase in liver weight, and / or reducing body weight, the composition containing soybean germ protein as an active ingredient. The composition according to the present invention improves blood cholesterol level, triglyceride, and glucose levels thereby contributing to health promotion.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a composition for preventing and improving metabolic syndrome utilizing soy germ protein, more specifically to a composition for improving the blood lipid condition and the blood sugar level, controlling the increase in liver weight, and reducing the body weight.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In Japan, from ancient times, soybeans have been eaten in various forms, such as bean curd, soybean milk, deep-fat fried bean curd, boiled beans, fermented soybeans, soybean flour, miso (fermented soybean paste), and soy sauce. In recent years, various physiological components are receiving attention, so that soybean is expected to serve as food useful for health maintenance. Soybean protein (defatted soybean), which is prepared by removing oil from soybean, contains about 40 to 50% protein, and has relatively good amino acid balance of a vegetable protein. Therefore, soybean protein is called “field meat”, and widely used for food and feed application...
