Method of using isomaltulose to suppress body fat accumulation

摘要

A method for reducing body fat accumulation is provided that includes: providing a reducer of body fat accumulation, wherein the reducer comprises isomaltulose; having an individual ingest the reducer; and having the individual consume a carbohydrate having an α-1,6-glucosyl bond ratio of from 0% to less than 50% relative to the total bonds among constituent saccharides, wherein the reducer is ingested before or after or simultaneous with consuming the carbohydrate, and wherein the reducer reduces the individual's body fat accumulation caused by consuming the carbohydrate. The reducer of body fat accumulation includes isomaltulose (PALATINOSE™) as an active ingredient so that when the reducer is ingested and a carbohydrate having an α-1,6-glucosyl bond ratio of from 0% to less than 50% relative to the total bonds among constituent saccharides is consumed, accumulation of body fat resulting from ingesting the carbohydrate is reduced.

主权项

1. A method for reducing body fat accumulation in a human resulting from an increase in blood glucose level and insulin secretion caused by consuming a food comprising carbohydrate selected from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, starch, and dextrin, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
(a) providing a reducer of body fat accumulation, wherein the reducer comprises isomaltulose as an active ingredient; (b) having a human individual ingest the reducer of body fat accumulation; (c) having the human individual consume a food comprising the carbohydrate, wherein the reducer is ingested separately up to 30 minutes before consuming the food, or simultaneously with consuming the food, or separately after consuming the food within a time range within which the isomaltulose and carbohydrate can be mixed in the stomach, and wherein the carbohydrate has an α-1,6-glucosyl bond ratio of from 0% to less than 50% relative to the total bonds among constituent saccharides, and the isomaltulose is combined in the reducer so that the isomaltulose is ingested by the human individual in a dosed amount of 10 g or more per 60 Kg of body weight of the human individual; and (d) selecting a time and amount of isomaltulose ingestion to reduce the increase in the human individual's body fat accumulation in response to ingesting the mixture of isomaltulose and carbohydrate, compared to the increase in the human individual's body fat accumulation that would otherwise occur if the carbohydrate were consumed alone.
