I know I have posted this before but its worth reading again.
From By-Health Institute of Nutrition and Health.
New Function Research.
With the gradual improvement of the living standards and health awareness of residents across the country, as an important part of the "Healthy China" strategy, it is imperative to carry out research on new functions of health foods.
The new function of health food is a health function that is not within the scope of the current health function published by the State Food and Drug Administration, and is fundamentally different from the name of the current health function and its functional evaluation method.
In order to better meet people's health needs, the Institute integrates the resources of authoritative nutrition and health research institutions at home and abroad, and continuously explores the innovative research field of "new functions, new materials, and new technologies", and has been in the field of new functional products for cardiovascular health. Achieved certain results.
Research Background
In 2009, EFSA approved the first health claim study on "Water-soluble tomato concentrate helps maintain normal platelet aggregation and helps healthy blood flow". This is the first product that has passed the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Act 13.5 on the claims of new functions, and has been approved by EFSA's first new health care function. The scientific opinion issued by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in 2011 pointed out that cardiovascular health function claims include adjusting blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, maintaining normal endothelial function, and reducing platelet aggregation. In this scientific opinion, it is pointed out that "in subjects with high cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (such as smokers, hypercholesterolemia subjects, obesity, diabetes), their platelets are prone to be overactive and hypercoagulable. And it is closely related to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis and its complications.
In the 2018 China Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment and Management Guidelines, increased platelet aggregation has been listed as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the development of different interventions against platelet aggregation has now become a goal of maintaining cardiovascular health. Among them, the research on the new functions of health food in the cardiovascular field has extremely high necessity and feasibility.
Research progress
In recent years, the company has taken "Fruitflow® (water-soluble tomato concentrate)" as its main direction, focusing on the development of new functional products that help maintain cardiovascular health.
