國內健康食品申請概況及資料收集與分析

隨著時代不斷的進步，國人飲食西化加上飲食習慣、生活作息不正常，造成許多現代文明病，如：高血脂症、糖尿病、代謝症候群等。鑒於國人認同所謂食補總比藥補好，因此消費者在選購食品時，除了選擇個人口感的喜好外，也會特別注重其是否有營養價值。民國88年衛生署訂定的「健康食品管理法」即是為了國人能夠在政府的把關下，選購相關的健康食品，除了吃了安心，又有其相關的功效保證。目前各國對於保健食品都有相關的規範，在台灣目前截止通過健康食品的案件已超過200多件，其中區分為13項保健功效類別(調節血脂、調整胃腸、調節血糖、調節血壓、抗疲勞、延緩衰老、牙齒保健、護肝、改善骨質疏鬆、免疫調節、調節過敏體質、不易形成體脂肪、促鐵吸收等)，帶給民眾多元的選擇。健康食品的開發，帶來了市場更多的競爭，也替台灣生技業、食品業、藥界創造出另一個新研究領域。不少業界透過產學合作積極研發保健食品，但若對於申請健康食品的流程不夠熟悉，試驗報告撰寫的方式不合乎所要求、試驗設計不夠嚴謹、相關證明文件準備欠周全等，均會導致花了大筆的資金及時間而得不到預期的結果，實為可惜。本研究針對國內業者在申請健康食品時常發生缺失作分析，藉此經統計分析及相關資訊的整理結果，來了解相關送件的缺失，期望未來業者在申請查驗登記時，能夠作有效率的規劃，不僅能夠省下不必要的資金及時間的浪費，且對於台灣保健食品的開發及傳承上也會有更多的幫助。

Recently, due to westernization of diet and, the abnormality in diet and lifestyle, there are many modern diseases of civilization such as hyperlipidemin, diabetes and metabolism syndrome. In view of the fact that the people realize foods is better than pharmaceutics to enhance human health, consumer will therefore favor the foods, depending on not only the flavors they like, but also the nutrition values of the foods.

The development of health foods has brought more competitions in the markets and has created a new era for the biotechnology, food technology and pharmaceutical industry in Taiwan. Through the industry-academic cooperation various industries in Taiwan have made much effort for the development of neutrceuticals. However, if they were not so skilled in many items for the certification application of health food, such as the procedure, the writing format of the experimental results, the experimental design and the preparation of documents, that a lot of money will be lost, without any success. This work is to collect and analyze the unsuccessful cases for the certification application of health food. Thereby the drawbacks will be understood and documented. This work has the flaw in view of the certification application of health food to make the analysis and correlation the results.
