The present invention relates to a method for producing a
chitosancontaining salt having the function of lowering blood pressure.
The method comprises the steps of: (a) dissolving an acid-soluble
chitosan in organic acid, or dissolving a water-soluble chitosan
derivative in water, to prepare a chitosan solution; (b) spraying the
chitosan solution on salt particles to bind the chitosan to the salt
particles; and (c) drying the chitosan-bound salt particles. According to
the present invention, the chitosan or its derivative is bound to the
salt particles by spraying or mixing such that the chitosan-containing
salt can be produced without performing a recrystallizing step. Thus, the
production cost of the chitosan-containing salt can be significantly
decreased.
