APPLICATION OF AVOCADO PEEL FOR RECEIVING UNSAPONIFIABLE AVOCADO PRODUCT ENRICHED WITH SATURATED ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS AND STEROLS

摘要

FIELD: pharmacology.;SUBSTANCE: method for producing an unsaponifiable product from an avocado, enriched with saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and sterols, at least from the avocado peel, wherein said avocado peel is 5 to 50 wt % of the total weight of the avocado used, which includes the following consecutive steps: (1) cutting or grinding avocados. This avocado contains from 5 to 50 wt % of peel, (2) high-temperature drying at a temperature of 60 to 150°C to obtain residual moisture, (3) adding water to the dried avocado by adding 1 to 5% water or steam to the weight of the dried avocado, (4) extracting the oil by mechanical pressing, and then (5) alternatively: - a. Heat treatment of extracted oil at a temperature of 80 to 150°C and then enrich the oil with its unsaponifiable fraction, or - b. Enrichment of oil with its unsaponifiable fraction and then heat treatment at a temperature of 80 to 150°C, (6) followed by a saponification and extraction step of the unsaponifiable product, (7) at least a purification and/or fractionation step, and (8) recovering the unsaponifiable product, wherein the unsaponifiable avocado product contains at least 0.2 wt % of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and at least 1 wt % of sterols from the total mass of unsaponifiable product. A non-saponifiable product of avocado enriched with saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and sterols for use as a medicament for the prevention and/or treatment of connective tissue diseases, arthrosis, joint pathologies, rheumatism or periodontal disease, gingivitis or periodontitis. The above unsaponifiable avocado product contains at least 0.2 wt % of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and at least 1 wt % of sterols from the total mass of unsaponifiable product.;EFFECT: increased application efficiency.;10 cl, 2 tbl, 8 ex
