The present invention is concerned with an edible plant oils from which saturated fatty acids were removed and manufacturing process thereof. In order to remove saturated fatty acids from the edible plant oils; 1) Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids bound on same triglyceride molecules of edible plant oils were segregated each other as alkylesters of fatty acids by conventional transesterification reaction in which edible plant oils were treated with large excess of absolute C.sub.1.about.C.sub.8 alkanol under the presence of catalytic amount of alkali- or alkali-earth metal-C.sub.1.about.C.sub.8 alkoxide. 2) The alkyl-esters of mixed fatty acids were treated with C.sub.1.about.C.sub.8 alkanol solution of urea to remove the alkylester of saturated fatty acids by conventional fractional crystallization as urea complexes of saturated fatty acid-alkylesters. 3) Finally the resulting alkylesters of unsaturated fatty acids, obtained by removal of saturated fatty acids by urea complexation procedure, was converted to reconstructed triglyceride oil to give edible plant oils completely devoid of saturated fatty acids. This new manufacturing process could be successfully applied to following 22 kinds of edible plant; 1) corn oil, 2) soybean oil, 3) rapeseed oil, 4) grape seed oil, 5) flaxseed oil, 6) sesame oil, 7) olive oil, 8) perilla oil 9) wall nut oil, 10) pine-nut oil, 11) peanuts oil, 12) sunflower oil, 13) safflower oil, 14) cotton seed oil, 15) palm oil, 16) hot pepper oil, 17) rice bran oil, 18) pumpkin oil, 19) green tea seed oil, 20) almond oil, 21) evening primrose oil and 22) hazelnut oil.

Edible plant oils from which saturated fatty acids were removed and manufacturing process thereof

The present invention relates to an extract of mixed herb medicine, and a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of obesity containing the extract as an effective ingredient or health food containing the same, more precisely, an extract of mixed herb medicine extracted from the mixture of cassia seeds (Cassia obtusifolia L.), green tea (Thea sinensis L.), eucommia bark (Eucommia ulmoides Oliver), garlic (Allium sativum var. pekinense), hawthorn (Crataegus Pinnatifida Bunge), fresh pine needle (Pinus densiflora Siebold et Zuccarini) and wormwood (Artemisia capillaris Thunberg) using water or aqueous alcohol solution, a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of obesity containing the above extract and a fermented extract extracted after adding rice, malt and yeast to the above mixture, or health food containing the same. The extract of the present invention can be effectively used for the prevention and the treatment of obesity by inhibiting weight gain by high-fat diet, lowering blood cholesterol and decreasing neutral fat (triglyceride).
