Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/013219
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a composition which enables the increased in-vivo absorption of cryptoxanthin derived from a natural product, particularly cryptoxanthin derived from Unshu-orange which is known to contain cryptoxanthin in a large quantity. Also disclosed is a method for producing the composition at low cost and in a simple manner. Specifically disclosed is an oral composition enabling the increased absorption of cryptoxanthin, which comprises cryptoxanthin derived from a natural product and contains a dietary fiber in an amount equal to or less than 400 times the amount of cryptoxanthin by weight. When the composition is ingested, the in-vivo absorbability of cryptoxanthin is increased to a level equal to or more than two times that in the case where a cryptoxanthin-containing natural product is ingested directly.
