Abstract: The chemical composition of a functional vinegar powder made from minor grains was evaluated. Meanwhile, a mouse model of hyperlipidemia was established by feeding a high-fat diet and used to explore the hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of the vinegar powder. The results showed that the functional vinegar powder could significantly reduce the contents of total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol in the serum of hyperlipidemia mice (P < 0.05), increase the serum level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P < 0.01), reduce the malondialdehyde content in the liver, and increase superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activity (P < 0.05) and it had a certain hypoglycemic effect, suggesting that vinegar powder can effectively regulate blood lipid and blood glucose levels and increase antioxidant function in a dose-dependent manner.

Key words: functional vinegar powder made from minor grains, hypolipidemic effect, hypoglycemic effect, antioxidant function
