ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the tortoise oil, turtle oil, composition containing them, their preparation processes and their uses.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Both tortoise and turtle are animals which show tonic actions on the human body. In general, the use of both animals is considered as dairy food through cooking. In recent years people process them by chemical and physical methods to form oral liquid or capsules in solid-form for the application. However, both tortoise oil and turtle oil as byproducts during possessing are neglected. Therefore no report or information on the usage of tortoise oil and turtle oil are found before the present invention is completed.
The object of the invention lies in developing the extensive value of tortoise oil and turtle oil through the research on uses thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Researching widely and going deep into the work, the inventor unexpectedly discovered that tortoise oil, turtle oil and compositions containing them are valuable for use on the human body, for example, for anti-inflammatory and anti-itching action, prevention and/or treatment of disorders of the cardiovascular system, protective action against sunlight (ultraviolet ray) radiation, analgesic action, promotive action on proliferation of human fibroblasts, therapeutic effect on fire burn and/or scald, therapeutic effect on psoriasis as well as use in cosmetics. The present invention is completed on the basis of the above-mentioned discovery.
The first object of the present invention relates to tortoise oil and turtle oil with the following physical and chemical constants:

The present invention relates a method for preparing tortoise oil, comprising:
The fat taken from the internal organ of tortoise is decocted at 110-115° C. under the ordinary pressure to a complete melt, and the residual oil is removed by filtration. 20% fuller's earth is added to the clear oil, decoloring the mixture at 90° C. for 60 minutes, deodocozing the oil under vacuum (600 mg Hg) for not less than 90 min and meanwhile adding 0.02% vitamin E into the oil. The final product of tortoise oil with slight yellow color is obtained.
