Development of Oat Vinegar Beverage and Its Hypolipidemic Characteristics
Objective:The production technology of oat vinegar beverage was optimized and the hypolipidemic effects were studied.Methods:The optimal process parameters of oat vinegar beverage was optimized by single factor and orthogonal tests,and the hypolipidemic effects of this beverage were studied by measuring biochemical indicators such as total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein(LDL-C),malondialdehyde(MAD),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)in ratserum.Results:The optimized formulas of oat vinegar beverage were as follows:3%oat vinegar,7%sugar,0.06%citric acid.Under such conditions,the sensory score reached the highest at 93.76.The animal experiments indicated that the oat vinegar beverage significantly reduced the levels of serum TC,TG,LDL-C,and MDA in rats with hyperlipidemia(P<0.05),while increasing the levels of HDL-C and the activities of GSH-Px,SOD(P<0.05).Conclusion:Oat vinegar beverage could enhance the hypolipidemic activities and anti-oxidation activities.
