據(jù)營養(yǎng)配料網(wǎng)站消息，美國FDA致函Sabinsa公司，批準該公司的姜黃色素C3復合物獲得GRAS身份。姜黃色素是一種天然色素，對健康有廣泛的益處，可預防前列腺癌、老年癡呆癥、心力衰竭等。
在綜合審查姜黃色素C3的安全性及毒理學數(shù)據(jù)后，Sabinsa公司的姜黃色素C3已于2009年獲得自我肯定的GRAS身份。此次獲得GRAS身份后，姜黃色素C3將擴大其應用范圍。由于姜黃色素C3已獲專利，因此將不會應用于Sabinsa公司競爭對手的產(chǎn)品中。
部分原文報道如下：
The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a letter of no objection to Sabinsa for the Generally Recognized As Safe （GRAS） status of its Curcumin C3 Complex for use in food and beverages.
Curcumin, the natural pigment that gives the spice turmeric its yellow color, has increasingly come under the scientific spotlight in recent years, with studies investigating its potential health benefits.
As a result, curcumin has been linked to a range of health benefits, including potential protection against prostate cancer, Alzheimer's, protection against heart failure, diabetes, and arthritis.
