Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for hangover relief, comprising a noni fruit extract or a fraction thereof, and more specifically provides a noni fruit extract or a fraction thereof, which is prepared using a certain concentration of ethanol as an extraction solvent, to contain a large amount of polysaccharides having excellent hangover relieving functionality and an average molecular weight of 8 kDa to 10 kDa.

Claims (7)

1 . A method for relieving a hangover, comprising administering an effective amount of a noni fruit extract, the noni fruit extract consisting of polysaccharides having an average molecular weight of 8 kDa to 10 kDa, wherein the polysaccharides are obtained from a noni fruit ethanol extract extracted with 10 to 20% ethanol.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the polysaccharides exhibit the following effects (a) to (d):

(a) enhancing the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase;

(b) enhancing the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase;

(c) reducing blood alcohol concentration; and

(d) reducing the concentration of acetaldehyde in the blood.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the polysaccharides are administered in the form of a food composition or a health functional food composition.
