NEW MILK PRODUCT FUNCTIONALIZED WITH MICOSTEROIS AS HYPOCOLESTEREMIC AGENTS

摘要

THIS INVENTION CONSISTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MILK PRODUCTS THROUGH THE INCORPORATION OF MICOSTEROLS IN YOGHURTS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO EXISTING MILK DRINKS INCORPORATED WITH PHYTOSTEROLS. THE ADVANTAGES OF NEW DEVELOPED PRODUCTS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE USE OF LOWER CONCENTRATIONS OF THESE MOLECULES TO GET MORE HYPOCOLESTEREMIC ACTIVITY; AND THE USE OF BIOLOGICAL WASTE PRODUCED BY MUSHROOM INDUSTRIES TO OBTAIN THESE ADDED BIOACTIVE MOLECULES (MICOSTEROLES) WHERE ERGOSTEROL IS FOUND (See FIGURE 1). In addition, the anti-oxidant activity exhibited by this class of compounds leads to an increase in the shelf life of the developed food products. THIS NEW MILK PRODUCT ALSO RESPONDS TO AN INDUSTRIAL CONCERN ADDRESSED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW FUNCTIONAL HEALTH BENEFITS, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW FOODS WITH THE CAPABILITY OF THE DIMENS DURING THE DIMENS IN THE DIMENSIONS DURING THE DIMENSIONS. CARDIOVASCULAR ASSOCIATED WITH CHOLESTEROL.
