Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An extract of a plant of the genus Gynostemma is described. The extract is obtainable by a process wherein an aqueous extract is further extracted with n-butanol. The extract has a high level of actives, such as saponins, and/or a low level of impurities. The extract is particularly suitable for use in food or beverage compositions owing to its high purity and clean taste. Such compositions may be used to reduce the blood lipid levels of an individual and provide associated health benefits. La présente invention concerne un extrait de plante de type Gynostemma. Ledit extrait est obtenu par un procédé consistant à extraire l'extrait aqueux au moyen de n-butanol. Cet extrait présente un taux élevé de principes actifs, tels que des saponines et/ou un faible taux d'impuretés. Ledit extrait convient particulièrement bien à une utilisation dans des compositions alimentaires et de boissons en raison de sa pureté élevée et de son goût pur. Les compositions selon l'invention peuvent être utilisées pour réduire le taux de lipides sanguins chez un patient et pour conférer des avantages associés en termes de santé.
