Abstract:
Cassiae Semen is a substance with both edible and medicinal uses approved by the National Health Administration, and it is widely used in health food products in China. In this study, an information database of Cassiae Semen-based health food products was constructed, and the common patterns of functional claims, major raw materials, and dosage forms were analyzed. The Apriori algorithm and network method were used to analyze the association rules of high-frequency ingredients with the three major functional claims: Maintaining blood lipid (cholesterol/triglyceride) level, controlling fat, and relaxing bowel. Secondly, based on the positioning and regulatory requirements of health food and the recent research progress in Cassiae Semen, this paper analyzed the problems in technology review and product development from safety, function claim, and quality controllability. Finally, suggestions were put forward to promote the inheritance and carry forward China's traditional healthcare culture and the achievement of the Healthy China Initiative. These suggestions included classifying and optimizing the access management of health food, innovating the traditional healthcare function claims, and strengthening the quality system construction and information disclosure of post-marketing evaluation.
