Studies on the ingredients of dried persimmon frost & initial exploration of weight-lighting function of dried persimmon frost and powder of dried persimmon frostwith jujube millQing-an ZhangAbstract: Persimmon belongs to the Diospyros. L.Plant of Ebeaceae. The fruit of persimmon richfully contains sugar, organic acid, protein, vitamin, tanin, fragrant material and minerals etc. And because of its reastingency, half of the total output of fresh persimmon fruits has to be processed into dried persimmon.Dried persimmon frost (DPF) is a kind of white-like powder which covers the dried persimmon. Its major ingredients are glucose, fructose, sugar and mannitol. In regard to its precise components, we haven't found any relative references. It's believed that DPF has the function of weight loss in folk, so we carried out these experiments, for one thing, to find out its precise ingredients, for another, to evaluate its weight-lighting function.China is the earliest country which cultivates Jujube tree in the world. As we know, Jujube Mill has a high nutritional value, which richfully contains sugar, fibre, vitamin, rutin, amino acid, polysaccharides, minerals et al nutritious components. In china Jujube mill has been put into the use of medicine and health protection since ancient times. Especially the rutin has a high content which can cure hypertension and arteriosclerosis. On the other hand, It also contains a certain number of cyclic adenylie acid (cAMP) and cyclic guanglic acid (cGMP), which have the function of restraining the growth of cancer and promoting cancer cell to normal cell, In these experiments, we mixed Jujube mill juice with dried persimmon frost to make a new kind of product, it not only overcame the disadvantage of dried persimmon frost, but also strengthened the product's function.According to lastest report, at present, there are about 0.3 billion obese people in the world. So obesity is a problem for many people in many countries. Weight loss has become a social public healthy problem. There are about 40% people who surpassed the standard weight. In china, the average obese rate of childhood, teenagers is 4%~8%. And the old is 4.9%. Furthermore, according to the lastest Asian-pacific obese standard, the obese rate of Beijing people is close to 45%, which takes the first place in china. To ShangHai and Nanjing people the number is 20%. InEuropean-American countries,the number is approximate 30%. Fox example, in Yugoslavia the rate comes to 40%, which is the highest number in the world. In America it is 35%. There are many means of decreasing weight. Such as medical therapy, exercise therapy, dietary therapy perfume therapy and so on. But only exercise therapy and dietary therapy are widely accepted by obese patients.In these experiments, we analysed the ingredients of dried persimmon frost by means of chemical methods and also separated the polysaccharides with the column of DEAE-FIBER and identified the purity of DPFP-I. Finally we made experiments upon animals to evaluate the weight-lighting function of dried persimmon frost and powder of dried persimmon frost with Jujube Mill (DPFJM) .The results showed that:I. The ingredients of dried persimmon frost are: protein 1.04%, fat 1%, total organic acid 0.34%. total sugar 95%(it contains polysaccharides 7%, sucrose 6%, glucose 37%, fructose 45%), mannitol 2%.II. The condition of removing polysaccharides from dried persimmon frost is: 3V 80% ethanol, IV 20% dried persimmon frost solution.III. Deproteinized condition of polysaccharides: IV 5% CC13COOH,1V 2.85% DPF solution.IVThe dried persimmon frost polysaccharides (DPFP) comprise three kinds of components i.e. DPFP-I, DPFP-II, DPFP-HI, with the analysis of Sephadex G-100 column. We can infer that probably DPFP-I is a kind of pure polysaccharide.V The product's ingredients: 7V 10% DPF solution, 3V 16% Jujube Mill juice.VI The products we made can obviously improve the obese symptom of mice caused by high-fat feed. It can restrain the rising of t...
