健康食品 安全性试验

健康食品 安全性试验

根据健康食品管理法第 3 条第 2 项的要求,基于确保健康食品于人体食用之安全性,必须证明健康食品无害人体健康且具明确及稳定之保健功效,因此依据食品原料之不同而须进行不同之毒理学评估,我们依据您产品特性提供不同毒理学试验建议。

安全性试验介绍

  • 口服急毒性试验 Acute oral toxicity

口服急性毒性试验目的为了解食品 / 健康食品经单一剂量喂食,于实验类动物之急性毒性影响。依循健康食品安全性评估法或 Redbood 法规,实验动物以 Rat 或 Mice 为主(其他品种请洽询),试验设计 3~6 个剂量组,于 24  小时内一次或多次投予试验物质,连续 14 天观察实验动物急性毒性中毒症状。试验结果用以评估试验物质在体内的毒性影响及目标器官,有助于重覆剂量毒性试验时剂量范围之选择。

  • 亚急性毒性试验 Sub-acute toxicity study

亚急性毒性试验是在急性毒性试验的基础上,进一步了解食品 / 健康食品于实验动物的毒性剂量效应。依循健康食品安全性评估法或 Redbood 法规,亚急性毒性试验进行 28 天连续口服投药,口服方式包括掺入饲料、饮水或管喂方式,实验动物主要为 Rat 或 Mice (其他品种请洽询),剂量设计应尽可能涵盖人体预期摄入量之 100 倍以上为最高剂量组,共以三个剂量组进行试验,观察项目包括clinical observation, hematological examination, clinical biochemistry, urine examination, organ examination and histopathology examination(详述如下)。试验结果用以判断试验物质之LOAEL (lowest-observed-adverse-effect level) 或 NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level),并初步评估人体食入的安全性,并为长期或慢性毒性试验之剂量设计、观察指标及毒性终点提供重要参考依据。

检测项目: 

  1. Clinical observation: ophthalmological examination, general clinical observation, body weight, food consumption, feed efficiency analysis, and water consumption.*
  2. Hematological examination: haematocrit, heamoglobin concentrations, erythrocyte count, reticulocytes*, total and differential leucocyte count, platelet count and a measure of blood clotting time/potential.
  3. Clinical Biochemistry: Glucose, total cholesterol*, triglyceride*, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, total protein, albumin, globulin*, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, sodium, potassium, Calcium , phosphorus, Chloride, thyroid hormones*, bile acids*.
  4. Urine examination: urinalysis and urinary sediments examination.
  5. Organ examination: organ gross observation, organ weight (male: 10 items, female: 9 items), histopathology examination.

*Depends on testing requirements

  • 亚慢性毒性试验 Sub-chronic toxicity study

食品 / 健康食品于人类生活中多为长期反覆性食用,亚慢性毒性试验是评估,实验动物于部分生命期(不超过10% 寿命期)内,每日重复暴露于试验物质下可能产生之毒性影响,以了解试验物质于动物体内的蓄积作用及其标的器官,并为长期慢性毒性或致癌试验提供剂量设计之参考依据。试验设计依循健康食品安全性评估法或 Redbood 法规,以Rat 或Mice 为主要实验动物(其他品种请洽询),考量试验物质人体预期摄入量,设计 100 倍以上的剂量组,经掺入饲料、饮水或管喂方式,连续投予 90 天,观察项目包括clinical observation, hematological examination, clinical biochemistry, urine examination, organ examination, histopathology examination(详述如下)。试验结果可评估试验物质之 LOAEL (lowest-observed-adverse-effect level) 或 NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level),可为人体食用之安全性提供重要参考依据。

检测项目:

  1.  Clinical observation: ophthalmological examination, general clinical observation, body weight, food consumption, feed efficiency analysis, and water consumption.*
  2. Hematological examination (15 items): haematocrit, heamoglobin concentrations, erythrocyte count, reticulocytes*, total and differential leucocyte count, platelet count and a measure of blood clotting time/potential.
  3. Clinical Biochemistry (18 items): Glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride*, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, total protein, albumin, globulin*, total bilirubin*, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, sodium , potassium, Calcium*, phosphorus*, Chloride*, thyroid hormones*.
  4. Urine examination (16 items): urinalysis and urinary sediments examination.
  5. Organ examination: organ gross observation, organ weight (male: 10 items, female: 9 items), histopathology examination.

  • 出生前生殖 / 发育毒性
    Reproduction /Developmental Toxicity

食品 / 健康食品于怀孕妇女的摄取应评估它对妊娠期的母体、胚胎的发展及子代发育是否造成影响,依循 Redbood 法规,生殖/发育毒性可分为
  (1) Prenatal Development Toxicity Study
  (2) One-Generation Reproduction Toxicity Study
主要均以 Rat 或 Rabbit 为试验动物(其他品种请洽询),剂量设计需配合亚急性、亚慢性毒性试验结果,并考量人体预期摄入量,共以三个剂量组进行试验,主要经由口服方式投予包括掺入饲料、饮水或管喂。试验结果用以评估母体于孕期接触试验物质可能出现的致畸胎性、母体妊娠期影响及子代发育影响,可为人体食用之安全性提供重要参考依据。

Prenatal Development Toxicity Study
系在怀孕动物的胚胎器官发育期间投予试验物质,评估母体生理状态及造成畸胎之可能性,试验物质经由口服投予后,观察项目包括:母鼠子宫及卵巢检查、胎鼠外观检查、内脏及骨骼检查。
