Method for Imparting Ability of Preventing Obesity and Impaired Glucose Tolerance to Foods and Foods and Sugar Preparations Exhibiting Such Preventive Effects

摘要

A method for imparting an ability of preventing obesity and impaired glucose tolerance to foods which comprises incorporating indigestible dextrin containing at least 30% by weight of indigestible components into a food in an amount ranging from 1 g to 30 g per meal of the food; a food having an ability of preventing obesity and impaired glucose tolerance which comprises the indigestible dextrin in an amount ranging from 1 g to 30 g per meal of the food; and a sugar preparation having an ability of preventing obesity and impaired glucose tolerance comprises sugar particles coated with the indigestible dextrin. The food and sugar preparation can ensure the prevention of obesity and impaired glucose tolerance through inhibition of increases in the blood-sugar level and insulin-secretion. IMAGE
