Abstract

BACKGROUND Flaxseed is becoming an increasingly widely used food ingredient. The rising interest of the food industry in this nutraceutical is primarily because of functional nutrients, such as alpha-linolenic acid and lignans, which have health benefits due to their lipid-lowering properties. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to provide an overview of the patenting of flaxseed products with cholesterol-lowering effects. METHOD Patent applications filed by country of origin were retrieved from the Derwent Innovations Index®database. RESULTS A total of 307 patent documents were identified, of which 184 claim the use of flaxseed or parts of the flax plant in the product formulation, for their lipid-lowering effect when consumed by humans. A few of the patent applications contain claims for new products based on flaxseed in isolation, including the preparation of foods designed to inhibit the production of cholesterol. Most of the claims were for flaxseed in the form of oil and in association with other lipid-lowering compounds, mainly for the food industry, in the form of dietary supplements or baked products designed to raise their high-density lipoprotein content, and for treating heart problems. China and the United States are the leading countries of flax-related applications. CONCLUSION These results may have important implications for the production of functional food products that meet specific societal demands.
亚麻籽降胆固醇专利申请综述
背景亚麻籽正成为一种越来越广泛使用的食品配料。食品工业对这种营养保健品的兴趣日益浓厚,主要是因为功能性营养素,如α -亚麻酸和木脂素,由于其降脂特性而对健康有益。目的综述具有降胆固醇作用的亚麻籽制品的专利情况。方法从Derwent Innovations Index®数据库中检索按原产国提交的专利申请。结果共鉴定出307份专利文件,其中184份声称在产品配方中使用亚麻籽或部分亚麻植物,以证明其在人体食用时具有降脂作用。一些专利申请包含了对以分离的亚麻籽为基础的新产品的要求,包括旨在抑制胆固醇产生的食品的制备。大多数声称亚麻籽以油的形式存在,并与其他降脂化合物相关联,主要用于食品工业,以膳食补充剂或烘焙产品的形式设计,以提高其高密度脂蛋白含量,并用于治疗心脏病。中国和美国是亚麻相关应用的主要国家。结论本研究结果对生产符合社会特定需求的功能性食品具有重要意义。
