Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: A cholesterol reducer and a health food containing low molecular weight of chitosan and -polylysine as main raw materials and a method for producing the low molecular weight chitosan are provided, thereby dropping the blood cholesterol level dramatically. CONSTITUTION: The cholesterol reducer is produced by using chitosan having an average molecular weight of 2,000 to 20,000 dalton and -polylysine as main raw materials, wherein the weight ratio of the chitosan to -polylysine is 5:95 to 95:5; and guar galactomannan is further added into the complex of chitosan and -polylysine in the amount of 50 to 100 wt.%. The method for producing the low molecular weight of chitosan comprises the steps of: deprotonation and deacetylation of chitin to obtain chitosan and dissolving it in an organic acid solution; inserting chitosanase to the chitosan dissolved organic acid solution; and subjecting the chitosan-decomposed solution to ultracentrifugation to selectively obtain 2,000 to 20,000 dalton of chitosan.
