Abstract:

A new kind of beverage was prepared through alone juice and burdock vinegar as materials. The formula of this beverage was optimized through orthogonal experiments and its hypolipidemic function was examined by animal experiments. Results indicated that optimal formula of this beverage was composed of 12% burdock vinegar, 10% alone juice, 6% crystal sugar, and 0.2% citric acid. Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein in hyperlipidemia rats revealed obvious reduction (P＜ 0.01), which also provided the information that vinegar beverage had the functional effect on weight loss.

Key words: alone juice, burdock, hypolipidemic function
